Abstract

A learning apparatus includes a storage unit configured to store a network formed by a plurality of nodes each holding dynamics; a learning unit configured to learn the dynamics of the network in a self-organizing manner on the basis of observed time-series data; a winner-node determiner configured to determine a winner node, the winner node being a node having dynamics that best match the time-series data; and a weight determiner configured to determine learning weights for the dynamics held by the individual nodes according to distances of the individual nodes from the winner node. The learning unit is configured to learn the dynamics of the network in a self-organizing manner by degrees corresponding to the learning weights.
