Machine Learning in/for Wireless Networks: From Basics to Applications
Machine Learning (ML) is gathering much attention in a community of wireless communications. In the era of Internet of Things (IoT), the combination of edge computing technology and sensor networks brings rich ML applications. This talk introduces a basics of ML, ML techniques with using data and computation resources in wireless networks, and new wireless communication technologies based on ML.

System, Prototype, and Demonstration of TV White-space Communication based on Spectrum Sharing Technology
In the wireless communication field, we have always faced the frequency resource shortage problem behind the innovation of communication technologies. In recent years, spectrum sharing technologies have attracted attentions again. The spectrum sharing technology allows different systems to secondarily use the spectrums allocated to primary systems with conditions. Its pioneering work is the TV white-space communication system which has been specifically investigated as a spectrum sharing cognitive radio technology since around 2010 and is being put to practical use in some areas. This talk overviews TV white-space communication systems and their real problems with particular cases such as field experiments.

Save From Future Japan Social Crises!
“Mothership” Project
Many developed countries are going to suffer from Energy & Environment issues, Social Debt Increase and Loss of Rural Culture Diversities introducing smart city in near future. Japan is “top runner” of such social crises. I am focusing on “Westerly Jet Stream” above Japan. In other words, just 10km above the ground, we have eternal and high density energy vein happens to be made due to heat transfer from tropical to pole inducing air convection (physics) and earth shape, size and rotation (Occasional luck). “Mothership” Project aims to mine energy, to make “Sky Crane” to carry heavy payload from ground and to settle satellite optical communication relay station above clouds by staying big tethered kites in such high altitude with technology. “Mothership” has potentials to induce many kinds of new industries and ventures by using such three functions and then to save from future social crises. This project vision and proposal has been approved from Toyota top managements and now on the way of actual engineering developing.

Static Analysis for Modern Software
Static analyses can provide guarantees of program correctness without relying on manual programmer effort or exhaustive testing. Static analysis is a valuable tool for the construction of correct software, and is backed up by decades of rigorous formal research and practical experience. Despite this promise and the increasing need for correct software, it remains difficult to use static analysis techniques in today’s software development cycle. This difficulty arises from the immense complexity of today’s software ecosystem, which can confound even state-of-the-art static analyses.
In this talk, I will present my research on Concerto, a hybrid analysis technique for analyzing modern software. Concerto exploits the structure of modern software applications to gain significant precision and performance improvements compared to other analysis approaches. As I will argue, the most complex portions of modern applications are encapsulated in frameworks, which are amenable to a specialized form of analysis. No prior knowledge of static analysis is required and relevant background information will be introduced where necessary.

Resource Allocation in Network Virtualization
Network virtualization plays a key role in the next-generation networking paradigm with enabling multiple tenants to share the same physical infrastructure. By leveraging the technologies of software-defined networking and network function virtualization, a platform with network virtualization provides virtualized resources of networking, computing, and functionality to users in a cost-effective and dynamic manner. While network virtualization brings a more flexible and efficient network, it makes network management more challenging. This talk addresses challenges of resource allocation in network virtualization, including basics and ongoing research topics.

Distinguishing cats from dogs or winning a million dollars
In complexity theory, the VP vs VNP question is a mathematically simple-to-express relative of the famous P vs NP question (whose answer is worth a million dollars). One way of solving it is to show that certain polynomials need a huge number of arithmetic operations to be computed: this is called proving lower bounds. I will present an intuitive view of an efficient computation of partial derivatives often called “reverse mode”, which is at the heart of the best-known lower bound, a result from 35 years ago. Surprisingly, this technique is also basically what is called backpropagation when training neural networks, which have recently become famous for their performance, for example in image recognition (doing much more than simply distinguishing cats from dogs). I will conclude with a short presentation of recent lower bounds.

Games and Procedural Technology: The AI of Nobunaga’s Ambition: Taishi
In order to realize virtual worlds and content created from imagination with a high degree of interactivity, game development on the ground level requires a hybrid sensibility of a flexible engineering mindset with an artistic sense, to optimize technological development to bring our imaginations to life. The purpose of the lecture is to focus on explaining how procedural technology was employed in real world examples, and techniques utilized. Using the development of the AI of Nobunaga’s Ambition: Taishi as case in point, it is possible to enable engineers to work as creators in a new era of game development.
