Abstract

It is enabled that accurate determination of a machine learning model suitable for a communication system from among a plurality of machine learning models to be used for a given prediction purpose related to the communication system. An AI ( 70 ) inputs, to each of a plurality of trained machine learning models, input data corresponding to the machine learning model, and acquires a predicted value as an output of the machine learning model. The AI ( 70 ) evaluates an accuracy of a prediction related to the prediction purpose by the machine learning model based on the acquired predicted value and, of test data, a part indicating an actual result value corresponding to the predicted value. The AI ( 70 ) determines at least one machine learning model among the plurality of trained machine learning models based on a result of the evaluation of the accuracy.
