Outline
In order to dramatically shorten the drug discovery period for RNA aptamers, which are attracting attention as next-generation new drugs that can replace low-molecular-weight compounds, we will establish “AI aptamer drug discovery” by integrating aptamer drug discovery experiments with RNA informatics and artificial intelligence technologies.

Outline
This project aims to make a good use of persona models constructed in different domains (e.g., service providers and data owners), and develop techniques for transferring user activity prediction models between domains. The effectiveness of the persona models and techniques developed in this project will be verified through large scale field experiments (with a few million users). We will also plan to modify and extend our models and techniques according to the experimental results and apply them to real services.
