Abstract

A method includes receiving data including cases and labels therefor, calculating a predicted value of a label for each case included in the data using parameters of a neural network and information representing cases in which the labels are observed among the cases in the data, selecting one case from the data using parameters of another neural network and information representing the cases where the labels are observed among the cases in the data, training the parameters of the neural network using an error between the predicted value and a value of the label for each case in the data, and training the parameters of the other neural network using the error and another error between a predicted value of a label for each case when the one case is additionally observed and a value of the label for the case.
