Outline

Chronic urticaria, which is an intractable skin disease, has no disease animal models so that the pathogenesis of the itself is unknown, and the clinical data to assess its severity are very limited. In this CREST, we solve the problem with the unprecedented idea of mathematically capturing the spatio-temporal changes in the geometric pattern of the eruption that appears on the skin. Through the fusion of mathematical science and information science, we will elucidate the pathophysiology of the occurrence of eruptions and provide new treatments for intractable skin diseases.

Outline

Our main goal is to develop a new learning paradigm that supports adaptive, robust and life-long learning of AI. We propose to do so by developing a new principle of machine learning, which we call Bayes-Duality. Conceptually, the Bayes-Duality principle hinges on the fundamental idea that an AI should be capable of efficiently preserving and acquiring the relevant knowledge, for a quick adaptation in the future. We apply this theory to representation of the past knowledge, faithful transfer to new situations, and collection of new knowledge whenever necessary. Current DL strategies lack these mechanisms and instead focus on brute-force data collection and training. Bayes-Duality aims to fix these deficiencies.

Outline

In this research project, in order to avoid the compromise of cryptography, we consider various possible attackers such as attacks using quantum computers and side-channel attacks by power analysis. We will promote research on mathematical foundations aimed at the realization of cryptographic technology that is resistant to such attacks. Furthermore, we will build a cryptographic system with a decentralized security function using blockchain for large-scale distributed systems.

Outline

Natural language has been known to produce nonlinear behavior across the different scales of corpora, sentence sequences, and individual sentences. In this research project, three groups study the nature of this behavior from the different perspectives of complex systems theory, computational linguistics, and mathematical logic. We describe our findings in the form of computational models that are beneficial for solving natural language engineering problems. By integrating these models, we gain an understanding of the nonlinear nature of natural language.

Outline

By state-of-the-art mathematical sciences, we create a comprehensive system for statistical modeling and statistical analysis of huge dependent data based on the principles of probability theory and mathematical statistics, and promote research in various fields related to time series data. The fusion of data-driven methods such as machine learning with statistical and simulation techniques for stochastic processes built on rigorous mathematics enables exploration and modeling of dependency that traditional time series analysis could not address, for accurate prediction and stochastic control.
