Abstract

A training data screening device includes a data evaluation model, a data evaluator, a memory, and a training data screener. The data evaluation model is constructed by machine learning on at least a part of the collected data, or by machine learning on data different from the collected data. The data evaluator evaluates the input collected data using the data evaluation model. The memory stores the evaluated data, which is the collected data evaluated by the data evaluator. The training data screener screens the training data tier constructing the learning model from the evaluated data stored by the memory by an instruction of an operator to whom an evaluation result of the data evaluator is presented, or automatically screens the training data based on the evaluation result.

Claims (40)
