    Abstract: A robustness measurement device of an embodiment includes an acquirer, a noise adder, an inference result group generator, and a robustness measurer. The acquirer acquires an input image. The noise adder adds noise to the input image to generate at least one noise-added image by adding noise to the input image. The inference result group generator generates an inference result group by grouping mutually associated inference results among inference results for at least one of the input image or the noise-added image. The robustness measurer measures robustness of a test target model on the basis of the inference result group.
