Singularity is getting even nearer driven by "the law of accelerated return".

The majority is expecting the Singularity is coming around 2045, but not a few including me are thinking 2030 is also the possibility. The Singularity by itself is truly the most significant and the greatest event, but the period from now to the Singularity is more important for the human being, while we have not yet started any preparation for that.

1,000 time more powerful AI Engine and ExaFLOPS Supercomputer which will be developed by our team by 2020 will definitely change the whole world and it will pave the road to the Singularity. In this session, we will discuss what will happen to us, our society and the world within 5 to 15 years toward the Singularity.

There are many vision sensors such as high-speed camera, IR camera, depth camera, gaze tracker, and action camera. They are getting smaller, lighter, and less expensive. These vision sensors are imporntat because they can see what human cannot. By using such invisible information effectively, it becomes possible to develop natural, intuitive, and innovative HCI. In this talk, I would like to show some of our researches that uses advanced vision sensors, including LCD tabletop, interactive surface on the water, gaze navigation using unaware blur, dynamic projection mapping, and BallCam.

Docker, a container engine has been changing how java applications are deployed, it provides an ideal way to package up applications for easy deployment on linux machines and windows machines as well (in near future). In this session, I will show how to package, deploy, and scale Java applications with Docker.

NVIDIA compute GPUs and software toolkits are key drivers behind major advancements in machine learning. Of particular interest is a technique called "deep learning", which utilizes what are known as Convolution Neural Networks (CNNs) having landslide success in computer vision and widespread adoption in a variety of fields such as autonomous vehicles, cyber security, and healthcare. In this talk is presented a high level introduction to deep learning where we discuss core concepts, success stories, and relevant use cases.  Additionally, we will provide an overview of essential frameworks and workflows for deep learning.  Finally, we explore emerging domains for GPU computing such as large-scale graph analytics, in-memory databases.

For many, "Management" and "Creativity" seem to be two conflicting concepts. Not so. Not only CAN they co-exist, they MUST co-coexist in order to create innovative products. Polygon Pictures has been producing world renowned, award winning animation content by implementing practices learned from the manufacturing and software development industries. There is, however, a secret spice that I've found essential for all this to click, and which I believe is essential in all other industries as well. Come find out. :)

Mindfulness ― one of the fundamental teachings by the Buddha,  has being highly valued practice for the last 2,500 years in many Asian countries such as Myanmar, Sri Lanka, Thailand, India, Japan, Korea and China.  As historical records shows, mindfulness has helped many people to live a meaningful life in this region. Finally, the advancements of technology such as fMRI machines, EEG studies and empirical studies have enable scientists to show the effectiveness of mindfulness meditation for the human wellbeing as a scientific fact. This scientific knowledge has made mindfulness accessible for millions of people through out the world and made available for a broader audience  as a secular tool for improving human wellbeing. Therefore, mindfulness has being actively promoted in various places such as schools, governments and workplaces.  

In this talk we will introduce mindfulness and the scientific research made it popular among a wider audience. Further, we will introduce Rakuten Mindfulness Clubs activities and briefly touch upon the potential application to Human Computer Interaction.

Ecommerce websites today have become massive marketplaces of several hundred million products. Rakuten Ichiba alone hosts more than 300 million products. Such large marketplaces present numerous challenges in organizing all the product information so that customers are able to find products in an efficient manner. In this talk, I will describe how large-scale machine learning is helping us to organize and search this vast collection of information.

Specifically, I will talk about two of our projects in product categorization and search relevance. Product categorization refers to the task of organizing product information into appropriate genres of a taxonomy, and a good product categorization helps customers navigate a website correctly and find products efficiently. Additionally, I will briefly talk about our work on search relevance that uses feedback based on customer clicks to improve search algorithm in an ongoing manner.

Historically, most people spent most of their lives interacting with people from the same culture and who spoke the same language. Globalization has put more people from different backgrounds in direct contact with each other, and this trend is only accelerating. The next adventure of humankind is learning to be effective working on diverse teams – overcoming language and cultural gaps, and making the most of the varied perspectives and ideas that people from different backgrounds bring. This involves understanding the impact of culture, understanding one’s own cultural style, learning effective techniques for communicating with those who have different styles, and learning how to bridge the language barrier.

  Blockchain - Systems Without Boundaries
  Blockchains have the potential to support businesses and processes without boundaries. Before blockchains, systems relied on intermediaries and duplicate data flows to manage and reconcile information between parties. Now with blockchain technology, these flows can be achieved directly in a secure and non-repudiable way. Blockchains can connect parties more efficiently and effectively than ever before, reducing the latency and inconsistency inherent in many multi-party processes. Furthermore, the secure nature of blockchain transactions and the immutability of the data allows for processes to be automated to a far greater degree due to the level of trust we can place in that data.Blockchains are a natural fit in a world of connected things.  This talk will explore the benefits that blockchains provide and how they could be used to enhance everyday interactions.

What pictures come to your mind when you are thinking about AI?

Is AI a complicated set of algorithms in an advanced computer program? Is it an information tool intended to improve customer service? Is it Case, William Gibson’s hacker, falling in love with his virtual Molly in Neuromancer? Is it an imaginary door to a dangerous future? Or maybe it is just a mirror of your own Self?

The answers to these questions differ considerably and depend on a variety of factors, from educational background, social environment and computer literacy, up to traditional values of the culture we grew up in. Our background shapes to a great extent the way we perceive the world around us, and technology has become a central part of the world. Yet, many of these factors are not embedded in the business world and in the development of AI. Instead of functioning as smooth communicators between AI and its users, they remain almost invisible and often misused.

The victory of AlphaGo against Lee Sedol in March 2016 is a new milestone in Artificial Intelligence history, next one might be the mass adoption of self-driving cars or the generalized use of chatbots. These successes both raise expectations and increase the fear of an Artificial Intelligence getting out of control, which is now addressed in books and scientific papers.  

Even though some other human capabilities like natural language are still way beyond machine's reach, the fear of this "control problem" is sometimes intensified by the assumption that human intelligence will be at some point surpassed in all domains by machines even if it is a controverse whether human elementary abilities like subjective experience, consciousness, moral values are even theoretically transferable to computers.

Data increases every day depending on expansion of the service. At some point, the processing time will exceed the available time. We need to avoid this situation.
Apache Spark is in-memory base distributed system. It provides horizontally scalability for our batch system.
In this session, I talk about why should we use Apache Spark? and how do we start Apache Spark?

Let's start scaling out batch system!

Rise of the Bots
What are bots, why are they useful, and how anyone can use Dexter to build their first bot

Bots have been around for decades, from ELIZA to Smarter Child, but in the last year they have seen a return to popularity due to data indicating that messaging app usage has surpassed that of social networks. Bots offer a great opportunity for customer service departments to reduce costs by adding automation and are a new medium for content publishers to reach their audience. This presentation will provide an introduction to the bot ecosystem, examples of current bot applications, and a demo of Dexter, a platform that empowers writers and businesses to create their own bots.
