The Future Environment Lab, established by Kyoto Computer Guraduate Institute of Informatics (KCGI) and Kyoto Computer Gakuin (KCG) in collaboration with the General Technology Research Institute of Nihon Unisys, Ltd. of major IT services, held a study session on cutting-edge AI technology on Friday, November 30, 2018 at the KCGI Kyoto Ekimae Satellite and KCG Kyoto Ekimae School New Building.In addition to KCG and KCGI students and faculty, software engineers from general companies participated to deepen their knowledge of AI technology using Google Colaboratory, a machine learning service provided by Google Inc.
Associate Professor Nakaguchi of KCGI took the stage and gave an overview of the Google Colaboratory, followed by an explanation and hands-on session on machine translation and object recognition, two of the AI technologies.After executing the commands described in the slides, the results of the English-Japanese translation of the Wikipedia article and the recognition results of the objects in the pictures were displayed on the PC operated by the participants.During the Q&A session, there was a lively discussion with questions not only from students but also from software engineers and faculty members.
In February 2017, the KCG Group opened the "Future Environment Lab," a creative project jointly with the Integrated Technology Research Institute of Nihon Unisys, Ltd. on campus to foster the next generation of IT professionals through collaboration between industry and academia.Students who will be active in the IT industry in the future use their flexible ideas and creativity in a variety of research and academic collaborations with researchers from IT companies.
