I am conducting basic and applied research on the recognition of media content, the realization of creative ecosystems, the construction of frameworks for decision-making using big data, and the clarification of decision-making and consensus-building processes, using data mining, Kansei information processing, and semantic and contextual processing technologies as core technologies.<\/p>\n
The essence of big data and artificial intelligence, which have been the focus of much attention in recent years, is to construct systems using big data and to make optimal \u201cdecisions\u201d based on the analysis results.
\nI am engaged in research and development of data mining methods to derive knowledge that enables \u201cdecision making\u201d based on continuously accumulated data.<\/p>\n
Through these methods, I am not only to realize a data ecosystem that enhances human creativity, but also to elucidate and realize the human \u201cdecision-making\u201d and \u201cconsensus-building\u201d processes using data, and furthermore, to develop the science of human knowledge creation.<\/p>\n
