FRONTEO Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo, President: Masahiro Morimoto, hereafter FRONTEO) is a function of the in-house developed AI engine "Concept Encoder (trademark: conceptencoder, reading: concept encoder)" "Concept Encoder Optimizer". (Reading: Concept Encoder Optimizer) ”has obtained a patent in Japan.

Patent registration number: Patent No. 7010267

Registration date: January 2022, 1

Figure 1: Example of use in "Word Sonar for Accident View".The risk factors for occupational accidents that are expected to occur and their improvement / preventive measures are shown.

Concept Encoder was developed in 2 as FRONTEO's second AI engine.The patented Concept Encoder Optimizer is a function that clearly shows improvements and preventive measures to reduce the probability of occurrence of risk factors found by Concept Encoder, and was announced on February 2018 at the construction and manufacturing sites. It is installed and used in the AI ​​system "Word Sonar for Accident View" that discovers and predicts risks in Japan.

"Word Sonar for Accident View" reads a huge amount of text data such as daily reports, work reports, accident reports, etc. owned by construction and manufacturing companies, and vectorizes and analyzes sentences and words to perform conventional text mining. It is an AI system that can detect risk factors at work sites where it was difficult to identify the timing of occurrence by image analysis and predict accidents several days before the occurrence. The Concept Encoder Optimizer has the function of finding and presenting actions and words that are effective as preventive measures in the data against a predicted accident (Fig. 1).For example, if you enter "crane work in the rain" for the work to be done on that day and request measures against the risk of occupational accidents that may occur, "condensation" (recommendation for caution regarding the risk of slipping your feet) will be given. Safety measures are clarified by clearly indicating the causes of risks that should be noted, words and phrases that indicate specific measures to be taken, such as "organization" (reducing accident factors by organizing) and "confirmation" (reconfirmation of work procedures). You can clearly understand the actions required to carry out.

FRONTEO promotes DX (digital transformation) in the field of business intelligence through research and development of highly original AI systems and functions such as Concept Encoder Optimizer, and provides highly effective products and solutions that are useful in the field. We will work on it.

FRONTEO uses the in-house developed AI engines "KIBIT", "Concept Encoder", and "Looca Cross" that specialize in natural language processing to extract meaningful and important information from a huge amount of text data, and is a company. It is a data analysis company that supports the business of. Since its establishment in August 2003, it has been expanding globally to Japan, the United States, South Korea, and Taiwan, focusing on legal tech businesses such as "e-discovery (electronic discovery)" and "digital forensic investigation" that support corporate international litigation. Has been deployed.Based on the AI ​​technology cultivated in this business, we will expand the business field to the life science field, business intelligence field, and economic security from 8, and by using AI to "turn text data into knowledge", We contribute to solving various corporate issues such as drug discovery support, dementia diagnosis support, financial, personnel, and sales support.
