Apparatus, method, and computer readable medium

A method comprising:

• supplying a value of a state parameter to an operation model configured to output a recommendation value of a control parameter of a piece of equipment, in response to a value of a state parameter representing a state relating to the piece of equipment being input;
• acquiring a control parameter by acquiring the recommendation value of the control parameter that is output from the operation model in response to supplying a value of a state parameter to the operation model by the supplying;
• acquiring a model evaluation value corresponding to a result of having operated the piece of equipment according to the recommendation value acquired by the acquiring the recommendation value of the control parameter;
• and
• evaluating the operation model based on the model evaluation value and a reference evaluation value,
• wherein the reference evaluation value relates to a result of the piece of equipment being operated using the control parameters chosen through a manipulation by a human.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium having recorded thereon a program configured to cause a computer to:

• supply a value of a state parameter to an operation model configured to output a recommendation value of a control parameter of a piece of equipment in response to a value of a state parameter relating to the piece of equipment being input;
• acquire the recommendation value of the control parameter that is output from the operation model in response to the computer supplying a value of a state parameter to the operation model;
• acquire a model evaluation value corresponding to a result of having operated the piece of equipment according to the recommendation value acquired by the computer;
• and
• evaluate the operation model based on the model evaluation value and a reference evaluation value,
• wherein the reference evaluation value relates to a result of the piece of equipment being operated using the control parameters chosen through a manipulation by a human.
