FRONTEO Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo, President: Masahiro Morimoto, hereafter FRONTEO) is developing the AI ​​engine "Concept Encoder (trademark: conceptencoder, reading: concept encoder) in the life science AI business. We are announcing that we will expand the application area of ​​"" and develop it for the business intelligence business that collects and analyzes the huge amount of business data accumulated in corporate information systems, etc., and aims to start providing it in the spring of 2022.

Since 2012, FRONTEO has been providing AI solutions through the in-house developed AI engine "KIBIT" that specializes in natural language analysis. KIBIT is an AI engine that learns the tacit knowledge of 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 highly accurate analysis in a short time.Taking advantage of this characteristic, it has contributed to the efficiency and sophistication of operations in the fields of fraud investigation, legal / intellectual property management, skill transfer, danger prediction, etc., and has been introduced by more than 200 companies so far.

"Concept Encoder" was developed in 2018 as the second AI after KIBIT.The AI ​​expresses similarities and relationships between documents and words by vectorization, and in order to capture the characteristics of documents in a more multifaceted manner, it is good at reaching results that could not be derived by simply tracing words. ..So far, the AI ​​system "Coroban" that reads nursing records and predicts the risk of a patient's fall / fall, and the paper search AI "Amanogawa" that analyzes and analyzes a huge amount of medical paper information 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 life science field.

In the spring of 2022, FRONTEO will expand the application area of ​​Concept Encoder based on the know-how gained through product development and service provision, and develop new products for various business areas such as manufacturing, construction and finance. ..By introducing Concept Encoder products in addition to KIBIT products that have been used and achieved results for many years in the business intelligence area, we aim to provide AI solutions that do not overlook the risks and opportunities buried in the records in the area.

[Example of using Concept Encoder]

Visualize the analysis results of the target document in a map using the Concept Encoder.The user can intuitively grasp the search target and incidental information located 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 business intelligence field using Concept Encoder at the NeuroLanguage Science Institute, which was newly established in October 2021.The institute was established to delve 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 utilize the two research functions of the Institute of Behavioral Information Science and the Institute of Neuro-Language Science, which developed KIBIT, to further develop and provide solutions that solve social and corporate issues. I will work on it.

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

In the past, searching and understanding documents has been done by searching by keywords and reading sentences. Concept Encoder was developed with an emphasis on comprehensiveness, bird's-eye view, and visualization, with the aim of streamlining work and work using natural language with a different approach from KIBIT.Optimal methods and means by utilizing Concept Encoder, which has a proven track record in highly specialized fields such as medical information and medical literature, in the business intelligence field, which is abstract and includes various human behaviors, perceptions, and problems. I am confident that we can achieve this.
