Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) We proposed an embedder, i.e., an embedding method using a layered neural network. The discrete cosine transform (DCT) coefficients of stego-images and watermarks are represented in stego-layer (3rd layer) and output layer (5th layer), respectively. The embedding method was evaluated both its robustness against JPEG compression and image quality for the stego-images. Although it was shown that it was the blind embedding method which could embed and extract watermarks from unlearned images, it was not clear that the embedder neural network could learn the watermarks in the form of either distributed or sparse representations. Therefore, we make it clear whether watermarks are represented widely or sparsely in the stego-layer of the trained neural network. As a result, while the embedder could acquire the distributed representation in the early stage of learning, the representation would change to the sparse one in the late stage. Since the embedder will be trained in accordance with the evaluation function which measures by both the image quality of the stego-image and errors of the watermarks, the sparse representation has advantage for the image quality.
