Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) In learning algorithms for Boltzmann machines, it is necessary but very hard to calculate the expectation of units with respect to the equilibrium states of the machines.To address this difficulty, the mean-field approximation has been used.It is known that the mean-field approximation is obtained by the $e$-projection from the original model to the mean-field sub-model in the information geometrical study [7].In this paper, we extend the information geometrical approach by introducing a cluster-model composed of clusters of units, and study the $e$-projection to the cluster-model. We give a necessary and sufficient condition for the $e$-projection and propose an alternating numerical algorithm to find the $e$-projection, which is verified by computer simulations.
