Learning method, learning apparatus, learning program, control method, control apparatus, and control program

A learning apparatus comprising circuitry configured to:

• cause an observer to perceive a plurality of pieces of perceivable information by pairwise comparison;
• acquire evaluation for the information made by the observer;
• rate the plurality of pieces of information by a plurality of repetitions of the providing the information and the acquiring the evaluation;
• generate a latent space by dimensional compression of the plurality of pieces of information;
• and
• search for a latent variable that matches a predetermined condition in the latent space.

A control method comprising:

• causing an observer by pairwise comparison to perceive information that expresses the state of a control target;
• acquiring evaluation made by the observer for information expressing the state of the control target at a first time point and information expressing the state of the control target at a second time point different from the first time point;
• and
• controlling the control target in accordance with a control parameter corresponding to a latent variable that matches a predetermined condition searched for in a latent space generated by dimensional compression of a plurality of pieces of information, the plurality of pieces of information being rated based on the evaluation.
