FRONTEO Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo, Chairman: Masahiro Morimoto, hereinafter FRONTEO) develops the AI ​​engine “Concept Encoder (brand: conceptencoder, reading: concept encoder) in the field of science AI We announce that we will expand the scope of “” and develop it for the business intelligence enterprise that collects and analyzes the huge amount of business data accumulated in business information systems. company, etc., and aims to start providing it in the spring of 2022.

Since 2012, FRONTEO provides AI solutions through the internally developed AI engine “KIBIT” specialized in natural language analysis. KIBIT is an AI engine that learns tacit knowledge from experts and discovers the answer you want to find based on a small amount of teacher data from a huge amount of sentences, and enables analysis very precise in a short time. Taking advantage of this characteristic, it has contributed to the efficiency and sophistication of operations in the areas of fraud investigation, legal/intellectual property management, skills transfer, hazard prediction, etc. ., and has been introduced by more than 200 companies to date.

“Concept Encoder” was developed in 2018 as the second AI after KIBIT. AI expresses similarities and relationships between documents and words through vectorization, and in order to capture document features in a more multifaceted way, it is good at achieving results that could not be achieved by simply tracing words. ..So far, the “Coroban” AI system that reads nursing records and predicts a patient’s risk of falling/falling, and the “Amanogawa” paper research AI that scans and analyzes a huge amount of medical information on paper in an overwhelmingly short time compared to humans. Has been released and has been well received as an AI that can be widely used in the field of life science.

In the spring of 2022, FRONTEO will expand the application area of ​​Concept Encoder based on the know-how acquired through product development and service provision, and develop new products for various business areas such as manufacturing, construction and finance. ..Introducing Concept Encoder products in addition to KIBIT products which have been used and proven successful for many years in the field of business intelligence, we aim to provide AI solutions that do not neglect the risks and opportunities buried in the archives of the domain.

[Example of using Concept Encoder]

Visualize the analysis results of the target document in a map using Concept Encoder. The user can intuitively input the search target and incidental information around it without reading each document. The figure shows an example of visualization of an accident report in the construction industry. Each point represents a past accident.

FRONTEO will develop products for the field of business intelligence using Concept Encoder at the NeuroLanguage Science Institute, which was established in October 2021. The institute was created to dig deeper into the effects of language on humans and to gain a deeper understanding of human behavior and perceptions. As an expert in natural language processing AI, FRONTEO will use the two research functions of the Institute of Behavioral Information Sciences and the Institute of Neuro-Language Sciences, which developed KIBIT, to develop and provide solutions that solve social and business problems. I will work there.

[Comment by Hiroyoshi Toyoshiba, Director, CTO, Institute of Neuro-Language Science]

In the past, finding and understanding documents was done by searching for keywords and reading phrases. Concept Encoder was developed with a focus on completeness, bird’s eye view and visualization, with the aim of streamlining work and working using natural language with a different approach from KIBIT. Optimal methods and means using Concept Encoder, which has proven record in highly specialized fields such as medical information and medical literature, in the field of business intelligence, which is abstract and includes various behaviors, perceptions and human problems. I am convinced that we can achieve this.
