　This technology compresses the dimensions of feature vectors generated from target information, generates two-dimensional latitude and longitude information, and generates a two-dimensional map by plotting them on a plane. By displaying target information with a high degree of similarity in close proximity to each other, it is possible to visually and intuitively understand the composition of clusters with common features, their sizes, relationships, etc. In FRONTEO's existing products, the discovery-type concept search AI system"KIBIT Amanogawa", an AI solution that analyzes voice of the customer (VOC) and derives insights."KIBIT WordSonar for VoiceView", an AI system that helps discover and predict accident risks and prevent occupational accidents."KIBIT WordSonar for AccidentView"It is used for such things.

　Hiroyoshi Toyoshiba, Executive Officer and CTO, who developed this technology, commented as follows.
“Traditionally, AI applications used for information searches have generally displayed search and analysis results in a list.Using this technology, by displaying search and analysis results in a map format, users can It is possible to visually and intuitively understand the overall picture of information, its structure and characteristics, and the similarities and relationships of the included information.This allows for a more accurate understanding of the target information and the potential for new discoveries and It will be possible to obtain hints for awareness. We are pleased that this technology has been recognized in the United States."

　FRONTEO will continue to support the advanced judgments of experts, develop and improve the efficiency of corporate business and academics, solve social issues and provide information through the research and development and social implementation of unique AI technology, and the improvement of product functionality and usability.
