Following The Little Book of Hygge, The Gentle Art of Swedish Death
Cleaning and other bestsellers, Shikake introduces the latest
example of practical wisdom from abroad: shikakeology, a phenomenon
sweeping Japan. Naohiro Matsumura-renowned as the founder of the
study of shikake, the Japanese word for "device"-has devised a new
approach to design as astonishingly simple in its logic as it is
sophisticated in its psychology. For example: * a staircase painted
like piano keys prompts people to exercise * a symbol of a shrine
placed in a public square discourages vandalism Combining
traditional Japanese aesthetics with the lessons of behavioural
economics, Matsumura presents a tool kit for literally anyone who
wants to create their own mindful designs-and reveals how shikakes
can help us address big challenges, including even climate change.
Mind-bending yet elegant, Shikake will inspire readers to
appreciate-and transform-the analogue world around them.
This book contains expanded versions of research papers presented
at the international sessions of Annual Conference of the Japanese
Society for Artificial Intelligence (JSAI), which was held online
in June 2020. The JSAI annual conferences are considered key events
for our organization, and the international sessions held at these
conferences play a key role for the society in its efforts to share
Japan's research on artificial intelligence with other countries.
In recent years, AI research has proved of great interest to
business people. The event draws both more and more presenters and
attendees every year, including people of diverse backgrounds such
as law and the social sciences, in additional to artificial
intelligence. We are extremely pleased to publish this collection
of papers as the research results of our international sessions.
This book presents selected and extended papers from the largest
conference on artificial intelligence in Japan, which was expanded
into an internationalized event for the first time in 2019: the
33rd Annual Conference of the Japanese Society for Artificial
Intelligence (JSAI 2019), held on June 4-June 7, 2019 at TOKI MESSE
in Niigata, Japan. The book's content has been divided into six
major sections, on (I) knowledge engineering, (II) agents, (III)
education and culture, (IV) natural language processing, (V)
machine learning and data mining, and (VI) cyber physics. Given its
scope, the book offers a valuable reference guide for
professionals, undergraduate and graduate students engaged in
disciplines, fields, technologies, or philosophies relevant to AI,
e.g., computer/data science, robotics, linguistics, and physics,
introducing them to recent advances in this area and discussing the
human society of tomorrow.
This book contains extended versions of research papers presented
at the international sessions at the 35th Annual Conference of the
Japanese Society for Artificial Intelligence (JSAI2021), which was
held online from June 8-11, 2021. The JSAI annual conferences are
considered key events for our organization, and the international
sessions held at these conferences play a key role for the society
in its efforts to share Japan's research on artificial intelligence
with other countries. The topics of the international sessions in
JSAI2021 cover five categories: knowledge engineering, machine
learning, agents, robots and real worlds, and human interface and
education aid. From the papers submitted to those categories,
papers of high quality were selected through the strict reviewing
procedure. As a result, 19 papers are included in this book. From
this book, readers can get an overview of recent Japan's research
on artificial intelligence.
