The regional version IoT promotion laboratory conducted by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry as a regional industry promotion policy is the best match with the activities of Code for Japan
n the age of IoT, sensors and network technology are being developed at a rapid pace, and through the use of wearable devices and robots, it is possible to obtain a huge volume of sensory data in a short period of time. AI has become essential for processing such volumes of data.
In the past, AI was developed for specific uses, meaning each application required specialized settings, development and optimization. Kazuo Yano led a project to develop artificial intelligence that can be used for multiple purposes: Hitachi AI Technology/H. This AI creates programs from data based on the objective set for each project, enabling it to find the optimal solution for any situation.
Yano also developed a sensor that obtains human behavioral data, and discovered that it could be used to measure people’s level of happiness. Based on the quantified happiness data, he proposed to employees behaviors at the workplace that could improve productivity, such as communication habits and time management. As such, Yano opened the door to new uses of big data for implementing improvements in the workplace. The Head Prize is awarded for his pioneering achievements in the field of AI and in expectation of further developments.

Find it! Nail it!Boosting e-commerce search conversions with machine learnin...Rakuten Group, Inc.
Over the past decade, e-commerce has leapt from lighthouse customers to mainstream consumers, offering online inventories with millions of products readily available to shoppers. To help buyers easily find products and fulfill their goals, it is necessary to provide effective search methods that retrieve highly-relevant items. However, manual and/or rule-based approaches to search optimization are not scalable. In this talk, we illustrate machine learning methods that have been successfully applied at web-scale to optimize search relevance for e-commerce. Additionally, we present techniques to extract semantic information from queries and precisely match product attributes to improve search relevance against structured products.
Most of the technical notations in mathematics and physics are not supported in programming languages.Therefore, we need to translate mathematical expressions to represent them in programming languages.As the result, programs are more complicated than mathematical expressions.This is a big obstacle to cope with problems in mathematics and physics using computers.Egison is a programming language that has been developed to solve this problem.Recently, as part of the solution to this problem, I developed a method for importing tensor index notation into programming with a simple extension of languages.In this lecture, I will show a hint of what kind of ideas are necessary to import mathematical notation into programming by showing this example.
The problem of identity has attracted a whole flock of developers in the blockchain and distributed ledger space who see these technologies as a way to scoop up all the scraps of an individual’s online identity, consolidate them and put them under the individual’s control. These include Sovrin, Civic, ShoCard and uPort among others. This talk discusses some of the challenges with identity on the internet and the potential benefits that blockchain technology can offer. It also outlines the concepts of creating identities on a blockchain and attaching trusted endorsements or seals to those identities that can be used to provide evidence that some due diligence or verification event has been carried out by a trusted organization without storing “Personal Data” or “Personally Identifiable Information (PII)” on a shared distributed ledger.

出典:Guilherme Potje, Felipe Cadar, Andre Araujo, Renato Martins, Erickson R. ascimento: XFeat: Accelerated Features for Lightweight Image Matching, Proceedings of the 2024 IEEE/CVF Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (CVPR) (2023)
概要:リソース効率に優れた特徴点マッチングのための軽量なアーキテクチャ「XFeat(Accelerated Features)」を提案します。手法は、局所的な特徴点の検出、抽出、マッチングのための畳み込みニューラルネットワークの基本的な設計を再検討します。特に、リソースが限られたデバイス向けに迅速かつ堅牢なアルゴリズムが必要とされるため、解像度を可能な限り高く保ちながら、ネットワークのチャネル数を制限します。さらに、スパース下でのマッチングを選択できる設計となっており、ナビゲーションやARなどのアプリケーションに適しています。XFeatは、高速かつ同等以上の精度を実現し、一般的なラップトップのCPU上でリアルタイムで動作します。
セル生産方式におけるロボットの活用には様々な問題があるが,その一つとして 3 体以上の物体の組み立てが挙げられる.一般に,複数物体を同時に組み立てる際は,対象の部品をそれぞれロボットアームまたは治具でそれぞれ独立に保持することで組み立てを遂行すると考えられる.ただし,この方法ではロボットアームや治具を部品数と同じ数だけ必要とし,部品数が多いほどコスト面や設置スペースの関係で無駄が多くなる.この課題に対して音𣷓らは組み立て対象物に働く接触力等の解析により,治具等で固定されていない対象物が組み立て作業中に運動しにくい状態となる条件を求めた.すなわち,環境中の非把持対象物のロバスト性を考慮して,組み立て作業条件を検討している.本研究ではこの方策に基づいて,複数物体の組み立て作業を単腕マニピュレータで実行することを目的とする.このとき,対象物のロバスト性を考慮することで,仮組状態の複数物体を同時に扱う手法を提案する.作業対象としてパイプジョイントの組み立てを挙げ,簡易な道具を用いることで単腕マニピュレータで複数物体を同時に把持できることを示す.さらに,作業成功率の向上のために RGB-D カメラを用いた物体の位置検出に基づくロボット制御及び動作計画を実装する.
This paper discusses assembly operations using a single manipulator and a parallel gripper to simultaneously
grasp multiple objects and hold the group of temporarily assembled objects. Multiple robots and jigs generally operate
assembly tasks by constraining the target objects mechanically or geometrically to prevent them from moving. It is
necessary to analyze the physical interaction between the objects for such constraints to achieve the tasks with a single
gripper. In this paper, we focus on assembling pipe joints as an example and discuss constraining the motion of the
objects. Our demonstration shows that a simple tool can facilitate holding multiple objects with a single gripper.
