CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
[0001]
This application claims priority to Korean Patent Application No. 10-2019-0138821 filed in the Republic of Korea on Nov. 1, 2019, the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.

BACKGROUND
[0002]
The present disclosure relates to an artificial intelligence server capable of updating and providing a classification layer among a feature extraction layer and the classification layer constituting an artificial intelligence model.

[0003]
Artificial intelligence (AI) is one field of computer engineering and information technology for studying a method of enabling a computer to perform thinking, learning, and self-development that can be performed by human intelligence and may denote that a computer imitates an intelligent action of a human.

[0004]
Also, AI is directly or indirectly associated with the other field of computer engineering without being individually provided. Particularly, at present, in various fields of information technology, an attempt to introduce AI components and use the AI components in solving a problem of a corresponding field is being actively done.

[0005]
Meanwhile, techniques for perceiving and learning the surrounding situation by using AI and providing information desired by the user in a desired form, or performing an operation or function desired by the user are being actively studied.

[0006]
An electronic device that provides such various operations and functions may be referred to as an AI device.

[0007]
A model learned through machine learning cannot depart from the learning range during inference.

[0008]
For example, in the case of face recognition, when training is performed using white-oriented training data, it is obvious that the inference accuracy of Asians is inevitably deteriorated due to the difference with the training data.

[0009]
If the entire AI model is retrained with Asian-oriented training data so as to ensure the inference accuracy for Asians, the same costs as when previously trained occur again.

[0010]
Also, a general-purpose model training for whites and Asians may not be able to perform performance that meets user requirements. For example, if a user only uses an AI model to classify whites, a white-optimized model may exhibit better performance than a general-purpose model.

SUMMARY
[0011]
The present disclosure has been made in an effort to solve the above-described problems and provides an AI server capable of updating and providing a classification layer among a feature extraction layer and the classification layer constituting an AI model.

[0012]
