概要:ECサイトにおける商品説明文の自動生成に関する論文です。商品タイトルから商品説明文を生成するEncoder-Decoderモデル(Base lineモデル)を考えます。このBase lineモデルによって生成される文章は一般的で曖昧な記述をすることが多くあまり使い物にならないとされています。商品説明文に必要な要素は次の2点であると本論文では主張しています。1.顧客の興味を促進するために、商品説明文は顧客の好みに基づいてパーソナライズされる必要があるとされています。2.顧客の意思決定に役立つ説明文には、商品の関連知識が含まれている必要があります。本論文では、パーソナライズされた情報量の多い説明文を生成するために、ユーザカテゴリや外部の知識ベースから取得してきた知識に基づいて商品紹介文を生成するKnowledge Based Personalizedモデルを提案します。

The main objectives of this project, launched in July 2021, is to mitigate and solve issues regarding health care services such as rehabilitation and specific health guidance while alleviating spatio-temporal, economic, and cognitive constraints by establishing remote technology foundation. There are four themes in this project. In theme #1, we have been developing the MR3 devices consisting of Wear and Mannequin for supporting detailed assessments of customers’ physical functions and haptic interaction respectively. The central issue of theme #2 is to support intrinsic motivation for rehabilitation and exercise training through XR technologies as in virtual (self) co-embodiment and hand redirection. In addition, we have also been investigating how to deal with one-to-many and zero-to-many situations. Theme #3 has aimed on establishing AI technology foundation for creating, monitoring progress of, and updating tele-rehab programs mainly for the upper limb. Systems for always-on monitoring during daily life and work developed in theme #4 is expected to be served as a common foundation for various tele-healthcare services. This paper reports on the progress of the above-mentioned themes in this project.
The HARC consists of the following eight research teams: (1) Smart sensing, (2) Well-being device, (3) Assistive robotics, (4) Exercise motivation and physical function augmentation, (5) Cognition, environment, and communication, (6) Smart work IoH (Internet of Humans), (7) Service value augmentation, and (8) Co-creative platform. Currently, we are carrying out private and public projects related to Interverse (Virtual economy forms and related technologies that return value in cyberspace to physical space), tele-rehabilitation, etc. We also contribute to the international standardization on VR/MAR in ISO/IEC JTC 1.
Work Pattern Analysis with and without Site-specific Information in a Manufac...Kurata Takeshi
In recent years, there has been an increasing number of technological devel-opments and practical applications for efficient and quantitative work analy-sis by measuring workers' flow lines. However, there may be a delay in start-ing work analysis if it is started after preparing site-specific information, such as each worker's role and typical work areas. This paper reports on a case study of work analysis using geospatial intelligence techniques with and without such site-specific information. First, this paper introduces the work site targeted in this case study, the purpose of the analysis, and the data measured and collected at the work site. Next, it describes a series of meth-ods such as indoor positioning, generation of work area transition model, clustering of work area transition instances, and exception extraction of the instances for the purpose of analyzing work patterns. A comparison of the clustering results with each worker's role and an analysis of non-routine work patterns are also reported.
Standards and projects of SC 24/WG 9 on Metaverse and InterverseKurata Takeshi
The relationship between the metaverse and the universe corresponds to the one between the virtual environment and the real environment in MAR (Mixed and Augmented reality). The concept of fusing multiple metaverses with the universe is sometimes referred to as the interverse, although this is not yet generally recognized. This presentation will provide an overview of the standards related to interverse developed by SC 24/WG9 (MAR Continuum Concepts and Reference Model) and the ongoing projects. In addition, VRM, an open 3D humanoid avatar format for the metaverse, will be presented, although it is not yet a de jure standard.

本講演では、生産性向上や健康経営支援のために屋内測位技術含む地理空間インテリジェンス(GSI)を製造現場やサービス現場に適用した事例を時間の許す限り概説する。また、PDR (Pedestrian Dead Reckoning: 歩行者用相対測位)やVDR(Vehicle Dead Reckoning: 車両用相対測位)含むxDR(PDRやVDRを含む相対測位、DR for X)の性能等の評価に関する活動、 及びxDRを含む各種屋内測位技術とその関連技術の普及促進に関する活動を行うことを目的として2014年に設立されたPDRベンチマーク標準化委員会の活動についても紹介する。
The purpose of this project is to mitigate and solve issues regarding health care services such as rehabilitation and specific health guidance while alleviating spatio-temporal, economic, and cognitive constraints by establishing remote technology foundation. There are four themes in this project titled “Multimodal XR-AI (XR powered by AI) platform development for tele-rehabilitation and reciprocal care coupling with health guidance.” In theme #1, we have been developing MR3 (Multi-Modal Mixed Reality for Remote Rehab) devices consisting of Wear and Mannequin for supporting detailed assessments of users’ physical functions and tactile interaction respectively. The central issue of theme #2 is to support intrinsic motivation for rehabilitation and exercise training through XR technologies as in virtual co-embodiment and hand redirection. In addition, we have also been investigating how to deal with 1-to-N (a small number of providers) and 0-to-N (no providers) situations. Theme #3 has aimed on establishing AI technology foundation for creating, monitoring progress of, and updating tele-rehabilitation programs mainly for the upper limb. Systems for always-on monitoring during daily life and work developed in theme #4 is expected to serve as a common foundation for various tele-healthcare services.

Kurata T. (2021) Geospatial Intelligence for Health and Productivity Management in Japanese Restaurants and Other Industries. APMS 2021, IFIP AICT 632, pp. 206–214

Health and Productivity Management (HPM) requires simultaneous improvement of labor productivity and Quality of Working (QoW), which consists of health, workability, and rewarding. In order to deal with a wide range of issues for HPM, engineering approaches are much more effective rather than just relying on experience and intuition. First, this paper outlines Geospatial Intelligence (GSI) as a tool for such engineering approaches, which supports problem solving by linking geospatial data with other data. Next, we summarize use cases of GSI in service and manufacturing sites, including Japanese restaurants, which have addressed labor productivity and QoW. Finally, we extract the metrics regarding labor productivity and QoW used in those use cases.
Communication beyond spatiotemporal constraintsKurata Takeshi
Spatiotemporal computing techs such as MAR/VR, positioning, and context sensing are expected to alleviate spatiotemporal constraints for moving freely in the communication-form continuum.
OTASCE Map: A Mobile Map Tool with Customizable Audio-Tactile Cues for the Vi...Kurata Takeshi
First, we developed an audio–tactile map viewer that can represent real-world route and facilities near the route. This viewer is based on our previous work regarding a mapping tool for gaming applications. We improved it with customizable audio–tactile cues based on feedbacks from test users at an exhibition and workshops. Finally, we explored presentation methods that serve the individual needs of visually impaired users in the most appropriate way.
IoH Technologies into Indoor Manufacturing SitesKurata Takeshi
AMPS 2019
Session: Smart Factory and IOT Location
Chair: Thorsten Wuest
This paper focuses on introducing measurement technologies into manufactur-ing sites regarding the worker-oriented part of 6M, which consists of Man, Ma-chine, Material, Method, Mother Nature, and Money. First, we introduce in-door positioning and work motion recognition systems that we have developed as key components of Internet of Humans (IoH) technologies. Next, we briefly report on two case examples of manufacturing sites where worker behavior measurement, analysis, and visualization are promoted. Then, we conclude this paper with discussion about the costs and benefits on the introduction of indoor positioning technologies into manufacturing sites.
