My research focuses on the mechanisms that encourage the re-creation of knowledge by validating discovered and accumulated knowledge. In this day and age of dizzying changes in environment and values, updating wrong knowledge is as important as getting new knowledge. Therefore, I think that a methodology for updating knowledge is needed.
As one example of it, I’m researching automatic composition. If the system makes a “correct” piece of music based on an expert’s theory, and the user doesn’t like it, then the expert’s theory is incomplete at least in that user’s sense of value. In that case, that theory needs to be modified to fit the user’s values. And it encourages the re-creation of existing theories.
I’ve worked on a variety of data science challenges in business. In that process, we often reset a goal because we realized the goal was not what we should be aiming for. Machine learning, the core technology of AI, is a mechanism to create a model which is optimized toward evaluation indicators from given data. Once the creation of models is automated, the human job will be to decide input data and metrics into the AI. I would like to present a methodology about it while conducting specific research.
