FRONTEO Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo, President: Masahiro Morimoto) has developed its own natural language AI (artificial intelligence) engine "KIBIT".^®(Kibit) ”, a demonstration aimed at supporting early detection of child abuse (serious cases) with AI in collaboration with Nerima Ward, Tokyo (Mayor: Akio Maekawa, hereinafter referred to as Nerima Ward) We will announce the results of the experiment.

■ Background

In Nerima Ward, the Child and Family Support Center responds to and coordinates various consultations regarding children and child-rearing families.In recent years, the number of consultations with the Child and Family Support Center has been increasing year by year, and the number reached a record high of 2019 in the first year of Reiwa (FY6,589).Of these, 714 cases were abused, which is a small percentage of the total, but is on the rise.Currently, in child guidance, it is required to detect serious cases that are life-threatening for children at an early stage and to provide appropriate and prompt support.Therefore, this joint demonstration experiment is provided by FRONTEO so that the staff of the Child and Family Support Center can make quick decisions for early detection and early response in cases that may become serious.^®Was carried out for the purpose of supporting.

■ Outline of demonstration experiment

Objective: Support for early detection and early response to child abuse (cases that may become serious)

Implementation period: May 2020-September 5

Target data: Recorded contents of "Children's Home Counseling System" managed by Nerima Ward Children's Home Support Center (excluding contents that identify individuals)

experimental method:

(XNUMX) Have KIBIT learn records of cases that have become serious in the past.

(XNUMX) Have KIBIT analyze the records of past cases other than the cases used for learning and give them a score.

(XNUMX) Confirm whether the record that KIBIT gave a high score was actually a serious case.

■ Results of demonstration experiment

As a result of verification of the demonstration experiment, it was found that more than 6% of the data of serious cases such as temporary protection by the child guidance center are included in the upper band of the data scored by KIBIT.This suggests that KIBIT is scoring with sufficient accuracy to contribute to the discovery of potentially critical data.From this result, FRONTEO and Nerima Ward considered that KIBIT is effective as a support for early detection and early response to child abuse (cases that may become serious).

■ Future development

　Since FRONTEO and Nerima Ward were able to confirm the possibility of KIBIT from the results of this demonstration experiment, we will continue to consider how to utilize KIBIT to detect signs of child abuse at an early stage and respond promptly.

■KIBIT^®about

"KIBIT^®"I want to find a document selected based on" tacit knowledge "such as past examples and the intuition and feelings of experienced people as" teacher data "and learn the characteristics of the document along the judgment axis. It is an AI engine that efficiently extracts documents. "KIBIT^®"" Is characterized by analyzing and sorting a large amount of data in a short time with a lightweight operation even if the amount of teacher data is small.
