Abstract

A data processing apparatus processes input data and outputs the processed data. The data processing apparatus includes a first processing section including a real-time learning section for learning in real time a processing method by which the input data and the output data corresponding to the input data are evaluated and the input data is processed according to the evaluation such that the output data is improved as time elapses; and a data processing section for adaptively processing the input data according to the processing method learned by the real-time learning section and outputting the output data; and a second processing section for processing preceding input data which has been input in time prior to focused input data which is processed by the first processing section, according to the focused output data corresponding to the focused input data and the evaluation of the focused output data to output the preceding output data corresponding to the preceding input data.
