Project Based Learning／Discussion Debate／Group Work／Presentation／Practice Fieldwork

Through lectures and exercises, students will efficiently learn on platforms, data and innovation, which are essential elements for digital transformation. This class will also provide an opportunity to connect with leading business persons active in a wide range of industries. Students will utilize their time outside of class to work in collaboration with the business experts, in order to improve their skills to discover and solve problems. The overall class schedule is below, but the plan may be changed to avoid the external experts' conflicts.

Utilizing his technical background spanning from scientific computation to data science, he has experience in creating grand designs for enterprise AI and data analytics. Examples of social implementation include a demonstration experiment (2015-2016) in which machine learning and simulation were used in combination to control traffic lights and reduce traffic congestion, and a demonstration experiment (2016) in which car models were automatically identified using deep learning to display optimal outdoor advertisements. An example of a service being put into service is a major non-life insurance company's new car insurance product with a special clause for dashcams (2016-2017).
