Abstract

An assessment device ( 1 ) includes: a request acquirer ( 11 ) that accepts an evaluation target from a user terminal ( 7 ); a model acquirer ( 13 ) and a data acquirer ( 14 ) that select a main model for evaluating the evaluation target accepted by the request acquirer ( 11 ) from a plurality of models and select supplemental data to be supplemented for using the main model (data to be input into the main model, a sub-model, or data to be input into the sub-model) when the data to be input into the main model is insufficient; an executor ( 15 ) that evaluates the evaluation target based on the main model and supplemental data selected by the model acquirer ( 13 ) and the data acquirer ( 14 ); and a transmitter ( 16 ) that provides a result of the evaluation by the executor ( 15 ) to the outside.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. An assessment device comprising:
a memory that stores a set of instructions; and
a hardware processor configured to execute the set of instructions to:
receive a request to evaluate an evaluation target;
determine, from a plurality of data models and based on the request, a first data model and first data for evaluating the evaluation target;
determine whether the first data satisfies a predetermined relationship with the first model;
if the first data does not satisfy the predetermined relationship:
acquire second data, and
evaluate the evaluation target by providing the second data to the first data model;

and
provide a response to the request, the response including a result of the evaluation;
wherein the first data model is associated with an input data requirement and an output data attribute, and determining whether the first data satisfies a predetermined relationship with the first model comprises determining whether the first data satisfies the input data requirement of the first data model.

2. The assessment device according to claim 1 , wherein the hardware processor is further configured to execute the set of instructions to:
determine whether data representing a result of evaluation of the evaluation target is stored in a storage;
if data representing a result of evaluation of the evaluation target is not stored in a storage, evaluate the evaluation target using the first data model;
if data representing a result of evaluation of the evaluation target is stored in a storage, provide the data as the response.

3. The assessment device according to claim 1 , wherein the hardware processor is further configured to execute the set of instructions to:
provide, for displaying, a list of solution information including information about the first data model and a second data model;
receive a selection of the second data model from a list; and
evaluate the evaluation target based on the second data model.

4. The assessment device of claim 1 , wherein the second data is an output data of a second data model; wherein an attribute of the second data satisfies the input data requirement of the first data model.

5. An assessment device, comprising:
an acceptor that accepts an evaluation target from outside;
a main model selector that selects a main model for evaluating the evaluation target accepted by the acceptor from a plurality of models;
a supplemental data selector that selects supplemental data to be supplemented for using the main model when data to be input into the main model selected by the main model selector is insufficient, and performs processing of selecting, as the supplemental data, each of insufficient data in a case in which the insufficient data of the main model is stored in a memory, a sub-model that outputs insufficient data in a case in which the insufficient data of the main model is not stored in the memory, insufficient data in a case in which the insufficient data of the sub-model is stored in the memory, and a sub-model that outputs insufficient data in a case in which the insufficient data of the sub-model is not stored in the memory;
an evaluator that evaluates the evaluation target based on the main model selected by the main model selector and on the supplemental data selected by the supplemental data selector; and
a provider that provides a result, evaluated by the evaluator, to outside.

6. The assessment device according to claim 5 , wherein
the supplemental data selector repeatedly performs the processing of selecting as the supplemental data until the insufficient data of the main model or the sub-model becomes absent.

7. An assessment system comprising: an assessment device that accepts an evaluation target from outside; and a server connected to the assessment device via a network, wherein
the server comprises:
a request information receiver that receives request information, representing the evaluation target, from the assessment device;
a main model selector that selects a main model for evaluating the evaluation target represented by the request information received by the request information receiver;
a supplemental data selector that selects supplemental data to be supplemented for using the main model when data to be input into the main model selected by the main model selector is insufficient; and
a transmitter that transmits the main model selected by the main model selector and the supplemental data selected by the supplemental data selector to the assessment device; and
the assessment device comprises:
an acceptor that accepts the evaluation target from outside;
a transmitter that transmits request information, representing the evaluation target accepted by the acceptor, to the server;
a receiver that receives the main model and the supplemental data from the server;
an evaluator that evaluates the evaluation target based on the main model and the supplemental data received by the receiver; and
a provider that provides results, evaluated by the evaluator, to outside.

8. An assessment system comprising: an assessment device that accepts an evaluation target from outside; and a server connected to the assessment device via a network, wherein
the server comprises:
a request information receiver that receives request information, representing the evaluation target, from the assessment device;
a main model selector that selects a main model for evaluating the evaluation target represented by the request information received by the request information receiver;
a supplemental data selector that selects supplemental data to be supplemented for using the main model when data to be input into the main model selected by the main model selector is insufficient;
an evaluator that evaluates the evaluation target based on the main model selected by the main model selector and on the supplemental data selected by the supplemental data selector; and
a transmitter that transmits results, evaluated by the evaluator, to the assessment device; and
the assessment device comprises:
an acceptor that accepts the evaluation target from outside;
a transmitter that transmits request information, representing the evaluation target accepted by the acceptor, to the server;
a receiver that receives a result, in which the evaluation target is evaluated, from the server; and
a provider that provides the result, received by the receiver, to outside.

9. An assessment system comprising:
a hardware interface coupled with a second device;
a memory that stores a set of instructions; and
a hardware processor configured to execute the set of instructions to:
receive a request to evaluate an evaluation target;
determine a first data model and first data for evaluating the evaluation target;
determine whether the first data satisfies a predetermined relationship with the first model;
if the first data does not satisfy the predetermined relationship:
receive, via the hardware interface from the second device, target data comprising at least a part of the first model and second data, and
evaluate the evaluation target based on the target data;

and
provide a response to the request, the response including a result of the evaluation;

wherein the first data model is associated with an input data requirement and an output data attribute, and determining whether the first data satisfies a predetermined relationship with the first model comprises determining whether the first data satisfies the input data requirement of the first data model.

10. The assessment system of claim 9 , wherein the second data is an output data of a second data model; wherein an attribute of the second data satisfies the
