Abstract

A learning apparatus ( 10 ) according to the present invention includes: a normalization/standardization unit ( 13 ) that performs normalization or standardization on data detected by a plurality of types of sensors; and a learning unit ( 14 ) that builds a model by performing machine learning, using, as training data, the detected data on which normalization or standardization has been performed by the normalization/standardization unit ( 13 ). The normalization/standardization unit ( 13 ) performs normalization or standardization for each type of sensor, on the data detected by the sensor.
