Vision
We establish a platform fusing a multi-facility database of electrophysiological signals, the knowledge of experts, and signal processing and machine learning techniques to achieve the most advanced neurophysiological investigation so that people all over the world can equally have the best diagnosis of “brain disease.”
Outline
The current challenge is the unavailability of sufficient number of specialists that can analyze the needed at present complex neurophysiological (electrophysiological) investigations and provide adequate management to a broad range of conditions, such as epilepsy, in a large patient population. For that purpose, we attempted to create a model integrating specialists’ knowledge and decision-making in the form of AI modules in a platform that can be shared.

Vision
Based on an on-device learning algorithm, associated technologies, and their chip integration, we will extend an application range of edge AI to sensor devices, provide a self-adaptive intelligence which is resistant to environmental changes for them, and promote safe and reliable industries and their automation toward a highly optimized social system.
Outline
We will provide an on-device learning algorithm, federation learning algorithm, associated technologies, and their chip integration, so that a lot of IoT devices can acquire a self-adaptive intelligence which is resistant to environmental changes, and support a maintenance-free operation of low-end edge AI which is intrinsically diverse and embedded. The concept of the proposed on-device learning technology will be demonstrated in various application fields including smart industry, facility monitoring, meteorological sensors, consumer devices, and sensor tags.

Vision
We automate cytological cancer screening, which has depended on visual observation until now, by 3D shape measurement of cells, cell database development, and machine learning techniques for the diagnosis. Through this automation, we provide a high-speed and high-precise cancer screening system, by which everyone in the world can receive a high-quality cancer diagnosis anywhere.
Outline
Cancer screening using human tissue samples is useful for early detection of cancers with its less invasive natures. Our project is to develop an automatic AI-based system of cancer screening using 3D information about cells obtained from multi-focus digital images with gigapixels. Our system contributes to the drastic improvement of the accuracy and efficiency of the cancer screening compared with existing commercial screening system using 2D cell images.
