    Abstract: There is provided a grouping system capable of defining groups of customers with similar purchase trends with high accuracy and defining groups of products or product-related items in terms of similar purchase trends, or groups of services or service-related items in terms of similar purchase trends with high accuracy. A purchase trend calculation means 3 calculates a trend of a customer to purchase a product per combination of customer and product or per combination of customer and product-related item as item related to a product on the basis of customers' product purchase situations. A grouping means 4 defines groups of customers and defines groups of products or groups of product-related items on the basis of the trends and a distribution of the trends.

    Abstract: A pathfinding apparatus acquires vehicle information, map information, obstacle information. The vehicle information includes a current location and a goal location for multiple vehicles. The map information includes a map of a target space. The obstacle information includes history of locations of one or more moving obstacles. The pathfinding apparatus generates one or more obstacle path for each moving obstacle during a target time window, and generates multiple candidate path sets each of which includes a vehicle path during the target time window for each vehicle. The vehicle path is conflict-free with the other vehicle paths and the obstacle paths. The pathfinding apparatus evaluates the candidate path sets through a heuristic search of continuations of the vehicles paths in the candidate path sets, selects one of the candidate path sets based their evaluations, and outputs the selected candidate path set.

    Abstract: In a kernel learning apparatus, a data preprocessing circuitry preprocesses and represents each data example as a collection of feature representations that need to be interpreted. An explicit feature mapping circuit designs a kernel function with an explicit feature map to embed the feature representations of data into a nonlinear feature space and to produce the explicit feature map for the designed kernel function to train a predictive model. A convex problem formulating circuitry formulates a non-convex problem for training the predictive model into a convex optimization problem based on the explicit feature map. An optimal solution solving circuitry solves the convex optimization problem to obtain a globally optimal solution for training an interpretable predictive model.

    Abstract: A negotiation candidate generation unit 82 generates a negotiation candidate of a receiving side for an assumed order from an ordering side and makes store the negotiation candidate in a negotiation candidate storage unit 81. A negotiation condition receiving unit 83 receives negotiation conditions from the ordering side. A negotiation candidate sending unit 84 sends a corresponding negotiation candidate stored in the negotiation candidate storage unit 81 to the ordering side in response to the received negotiation conditions. The negotiation candidate generation unit 82 includes a planning unit 85 which plans an order plan for execution conditions according to the assumed order from the ordering side, a utility calculation unit 86 which calculates a utility based on the order plan, and a negotiation candidate registration unit 87 which registers the execution conditions, which are a premise of the order plan, as the negotiation candidate in the negotiation candidate storage unit 81, corresponding to the utility calculated based on the order plan. The negotiation candidate sending unit 84 sends the negotiation candidate with the highest utility to the ordering side in priority.
