ABSTRACT:
By using the state transition of a highly interconnected neural network, in order to solve a combination problem, an energy function is set by the following procedure: (i) the energy function is set in correspondence to the size of the combination problem; (ii) the energy function is set for a combination problem to be solved by using an energy function which solved another combination problem of a different size from the combination problem to be solved. Also, in order to solve a problem involving the cutting out a specific image from a whole image, as a combination problem when obtaining pixels representing a contour of an object, the energy function is set by either (i) or (ii) above.
