AI summary

In the simulation apparatus, a model setting unit executes setting related to a chunk as a batch block of data in a case where data are sequentially entered into a machine learning model on a basis of a loaded sequence of data. A model computing unit executes computations of unsupervised training and computations of prediction by sequentially entering the chunk into the machine learning model. The model setting unit sets a range of data for use in computations of unsupervised training from within the sequence of data by a chunk designated with input by an operation input portion.
