What it covers

There is provided an information processing apparatus including a reward estimator generator using action history data, including state data expressing a state, action data expressing an action taken by an agent, and a reward value expressing a reward obtained as a result of the action, as learning data to generate, through machine learning, a reward estimator estimating a reward value from inputted state data and action data. The reward estimator generator includes: a basis function generator generating a plurality of basis functions; a feature amount vector calculator calculating feature amount vectors by inputting state data and action data in the action history data into the basis functions; and an estimation function calculator calculating an estimation function estimating the reward value included in the action history data from the feature amount vectors according to regressive/discriminative learning. The reward estimator includes the plurality of basis functions and the estimation function.
