Our AI contributes to the realization of a sustainable society

MISSION

The challenges of a super-aging society

smalltrain_logo

Research and development of AI technology to solve challenges


The challenges of a super-aging society are serious.
While the elderly population is increasing, illnesses and age-related problems are also increasing, and labor shortages due to the declining birthrate are becoming issues.
One effective means to solve these issues is digital transformation.

We resolve this issue by advancing research and development of AI technology that generates innovation.

VISION

Improving quality of life

smalltrain_logo

We provide AI that is useful for people's health and life.


In order to provide high-quality AI services at an easy-to-implement price, we research and develop AI miniaturization technology to reduce server costs for AI development and operation.

Utilizing this technology, we develop and provide AI technologies and apps that contribute to improving the quality of people's lives and implementing them effectively.

Furthermore, in the hope that people can live happily, we promote the use of data that is useful for health and daily life, and aim to improve the efficiency of society as a whole.

VALUE

Miniaturization of AI models and countermeasures against wrong answers (hallucination)

smalltrain_logo

Reduce server costs and provide economical, high-quality AI


The cost of AI development is personnel costs and server fees. In particular, server fees account for 58% of the cost. (In-house research) Therefore, the ability to provide AI services is limited to large companies that own data centers.

For example, ChatGPT is a LLM (Large Language Model), which is a large AI model trained on a large amount of data.

Developing and operating LLM requires high server costs.

Therefore, it is important to reduce server costs by making the AI model smaller.


Development of AI that does not give wrong answers (hallucinations)


Hallucination, in the field of generative AI, refers to AI generating information that is not based on facts or information that does not actually exist.

For example, if you ask ChatGPT, which is one of the generation AIs, about health-related matters and the answer is not based on facts, there is a possibility of health damage.

Our technology helps prevent this.

In some fields, countermeasures against hallucinations are extremely important.

Artificial general intelligenceHARMONIC AI

What is Harmonic AI?

  

The concept is that the neural networks of each AI are connected, making use of each functional characteristic, and harmoniously working as one large AI.

Harmonic AI acts as a conductor so that each neural network moves in an organized manner.

1. Development purpose:
Leading to an optimized and sustainable society

AI and robots will reduce the cost of social activities and greatly improve the global energy balance. We increase the productivity of the entire society and ecosystem, including humans and the global environment.

Specifically, we improve the efficiency of computing, improve energy productivity, mechanize AI and robot manufacturing, mechanize labor (optimize labor costs), reduce food, clothing, and shelter costs, and mechanize transportation and logistics (self-actualization).


2.Development of elemental technology

In proceeding with harmonic AI research and development, we develop the following elemental technologies.

Trend recognition

Capture changes in indicators.

Image recognition, sensor recognition (multidimensional information)

Advanced cognitive abilities are accumulated in the middle layer of multi-layered AI accumulated through image recognition, which can be used for non-image data analysis.

Predict future changes in evaluation indicators

Appropriately set social indicators and understand their relationships with past related data.

Control technology

We uggest actions to improve evaluation indicators.
