US Patent 11270001 Classification apparatus, classification method, and classification program

A classification apparatus that classifies sequential data, in which input communication destinations in a plurality of communications are recorded in order of occurrence of the communications, into a class that has a similar feature. There is a numerical vector calculation unit-configured to calculate numerical vectors that represent characteristics of communication destinations for each of the communication destinations, on the basis of sequential data in which the communication destinations in a plurality of communications are recorded in order of occurrence of the communications, and a classification unit-configured to classify the sequential data into a class that has a similar feature, on the basis of order relation of the communication destinations of the numerical vectors.
