Abstract
Provided are an age estimation apparatus, an age estimation method, and an age estimation program capable of obtaining a recognition result closely matching the result perceived by human. An age estimation apparatusfor estimating an age of a person on image data includes a dimension compressorfor applying dimension compression to the image data to output low dimensional data; and an identification devicefor estimating an age of a person on the basis of a learning result using a feature amount contained in the low dimensional data, wherein a parameter used for the dimension compression by the dimension compressorand the feature amount used for age estimation by the identification deviceare set on the basis of a result of an evaluation of a generalization capability using a weighting function that shows a degree of seriousness of an age estimation error for every age, and learning of the identification deviceis performed on the basis of the weighting function.
