- Background of the recruitment and description of the project
The RIKEN Center for Advanced Intelligence Project has been launched since April 2016 with the subsidy for “Advanced Integrated Intelligence Platform Project-Artificial Intelligence/ Big Data/ Internet of Things/ Cybersecurity-.” from the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology. Our center aims to achieve scientific breakthrough and to contribute to the welfare of society and humanity through developing innovative technologies. We also conduct research on ethical, legal and social issues caused by the spread of AI technology and develop human resources.
Based on the methodology of statistical physics, our team seeks to develop a fundamental understanding of various processes in modern machine learning, including learning, inference, and generation. In particular, we are working to establish novel theories and algorithms that enhance the efficiency of approximate inference and sampling, grounded in both equilibrium statistical mechanics and dynamical perspectives. These efforts are expected to deepen and extend the mathematical foundations that underpin machine learning.
Furthermore, by organizing and integrating knowledge in the interdisciplinary domain between physics and machine learning, we aim to promote cross-disciplinary collaboration and contribute to a more universal understanding of learning systems.
