Description
Weather affects people's lives and socioeconomic activities. Based on the achievements of the CREST research so far, we will accelerate our research toward smart society that can fully utilize advanced weather prediction. We will tackle technical challenges toward real-world implementation of the "Big Data Assimilation" technology that we have been developing. In addition, we will explore new developments of weather prediction and AI researches by combining AI and computer model simulation. These will lead to innovative weather prediction for better Quality-of-Life (QoL) and advanced socioeconomic activities.
Microbiome-based Precision Medicine
Research Director
| Takuji Yamada |
Associate Professor, Department of Life Science and Technology, Tokyo Institute of Technology |
Collaborators
| Shinichi Yachida |
Professor, Faculty of Medicine, Osaka University |
Description
The purpose of this research project is to establish an innovative diagnostic and therapeutic approaches "Microbiome-based Precision Medicine" using information of the human intestinal environment. We aim to identify human intestinal microbiota and microbial genes/metabolites which may be involved in carcinogenesis. These clinical and biological information will be stored in our database. In addition, we develop machine learning model-based method, which can be used as a clinical diagnosis to screen pre- and/or early cancerous stages. We will also develop novel methods to analyze human intestinal environmental data to identify microbiome biomarkers used in the above-mentioned diagnostic model.
Discovering Deep Knowledge by Advanced Utlization of Latent Space.
Research Director
| Kenji Yamanishi |
Professor, Graduate School of Information Science and Technology, The University of Tokyo |
Collaborators
| Ryo Asaoka |
Project Appointed Associate professor, Research Institute of Electronics Shizuoka University |
Description
In the bigdata era, it becomes increasingly important to discover deep knowledge behind data as data becomes more complex. We aim at developing new technologies for analyzing heterogeneous and dynamic bigdata by advanced utilization of latent space lying behind observable data. Our research is categorized into three items: (1) Learning representations of latent space, (2) Detecting changes of latent structures and (3) AI-based ophthalmology based on advanced utilization of latent space.
