[Exhibition Report] We exhibited at the 4th AI/Artificial Intelligence EXPO [Autumn]!



NEXTech Week 2023 [Autumn] was held at Makuhari Messe for three days from October 25th to 27th, 2023.
The event brought together the latest technologies that have become a hot topic these days, such as AI, blockchain, quantum computers, and digital human resource development services, and exhibitions specialized in each were held in parallel.

In this article, we will introduce the exhibits and events at Macnica 's booth at the 4th AI/Artificial Intelligence EXPO [Autumn].


▲This time, the booth has an open feel. During the exhibition period, a large number of customers visited us!
▲ Macnica held unique exhibits, demonstrations, and presentations with the keywords of "AI" and "brain waves."

There are always crowds of people! `` Even if it's your first time, you can understand! “Brain Wave AI” Presentation”

What attracted a lot of attention at Macnica booth was the presentation of"Brain Wave AI" by a professional exhibition presentation MC.
This event was held multiple times every day during the exhibition period, and each time it was a huge response, with crowds of people forming as shown in the photo below.
Not only did the professional exhibition presentation MC provide easy-to-understand explanations, but we also got a glimpse of the customers' high level of interest in the latest technologies such as "brain waves and AI."



From here, we have condensed and concisely summarized the content of the presentation that attracted attention.


[Status of the domestic AI market]
■ As of 2021, market size is approximately 1.1​ ​trillion yen (based on actual results)
■ As of 2027, market size will be approximately 2 trillion yen (doubling in approximately 6 years) (forecast basis)

[Main industries where AI is utilized]
■ Until 2023 …The financial industry had a large share (loan decisions, stock price predictions, etc.)
■ From 2024 onwards… The manufacturing industry will be the driving force (production process support, etc.)

[Specific examples of production process support]
■Device abnormality detection (abnormal motor noise, etc.)
■Appearance inspection solution (product shape, dirt, etc.)
→ However, there are currently challenges in introducing AI for visual inspection solutions.

[Current visual inspection solution× A.I. Issue]
■It is not compatible with things that cause variations in judgment, A.I. It is difficult to progress in learning
(Example: It is difficult to judge the maturity of tomatoes unless you are an expert.)

→ To solve this problem, A.I. It is necessary to review the learning method of

[AI learning method (labeling of training data)]
■Hard labeling method (e.g., sweet or bitter tomato color is labeled with 1 or 0)
■Soft label method (example: Detailed labeling of sweet and bitter levels with a numerical value called "confidence score")

→The latter has high accuracy, but requires a considerable amount of time to learn because it assigns numerical values finely...
Therefore, in reality, the former is often used, but there are issues with accuracy...
  Therefore, "Brain Wave AI" has emerged as a breakthrough to further improve the accuracy of AI!


[”Brain waves A.I. “Activities”
■Used for "baggage inspection" at airports, etc., and performs labeling based on brain wave movements.
(Example: Experts judge the presence or absence of dangerous objects by looking at images that are displayed one after another and collect data.)

Even for delicate items that are difficult to judge, accuracy can be improved by overwriting the learning data.



[Various use cases]
■“Brain wave AI” is expected to be used in various industries

This concludes the introduction of the presentation.
In a survey conducted at the venue, the majority of people said, "This is the first time I've heard the term'brainwave AI'!", but there is no doubt that it will become more widely known as technology advances.

Two types of “brainwave AI” demos that you can experience for yourself

At Macnica booth, we had two types of EEG measurement demos available for customers to try out.

① “SenseI” automates inspection work based on tacit knowledge using “brain waves x AI”

The first one, InnerEye Software developed by SenseI This is a demo using.
participant is"EEG(electroencephalograph)Wearing a headgear called ``, the content was ``to determine whether the lemons are good or not by looking at the condition of the lemons displayed one after another on the screen.''

SenseI Now, we will obtain the "confidence level" of professional craftsmen and engineers when making visual judgments from their brain waves, 1 in seconds 3 Label the images in pages.
that label A.I. Highly accurate judgment inherited from experts. A.I. It is possible to build models and is currently being used in inspection processes in the manufacturing industry and baggage inspection at airports.
It is also expected to occur in the future A.I. In addition, there is a shortage of development personnel and technology, aging of veterans and lack of resources, and elimination of individualized judgment criteria. SenseI is helpful.

▲In addition to the SenseI exhibition, staff members also demonstrated it on stage. Many customers were also looking at this with great interest.
▲Graph output after looking at images of lemons in various states. When a damaged lemon is displayed, the red line is moving a lot.

② “Sense Plus” “Brain wave x emotional analysis” that connects people and cars

▲ “Brain wave x emotional analysis” demo using a driving simulator

The second was a demonstration using a driving simulator and InnerEye 's software, SensePlus . First, we put on an EEG (electroencephalograph) and measured brain waves with our eyes closed for 2 minutes. Next, the participants were asked to perform virtual driving using a simulator, and their ``overall concentration,'' ``concentration toward driving,'' and ``fatigue level'' were measured. The fun-looking demo equipment that let you "drive a car!" caught the attention of customers, and at the time of our interview, the event was already fully booked and was a success.

SensePlus uses ``brain waves'' to analyze the ``emotions'' and ``cognitive states'' of drivers and passengers, and visualizes them as ``numeric data.'' The collected data can then be used for a variety of development purposes, such as developing risk assessment systems, improving brakes, and assisting autonomous driving.

Center graph: Concentration while driving

Lower graph: Fatigue level

▲A monitor that displays measured data. The line graph going up and down on the left side shows the movement of brain waves (from top to bottom: overall concentration, concentration while driving, and fatigue level).
The graph allows you to see the differences in brain waves depending on the situation, such as when the subject closes their eyes or when they are driving.


In this demo, we also conducted an experiment asking, ``What happens to your brain waves when you drive while looking at your smartphone?''
A small mountain on the right side of the graph indicates that the driver's attention has been disrupted (be careful when crossing the Low Attention Alert red dotted line).

Solve your problems with Small Win & Quick Win!

From here, we would like to introduce another pillar of this exhibition that was on display at Macnica booth: "Solutions that utilize AI and other technologies" that help customers solve their problems.

Easily create documents using just voice input with “Omatome Ninja”

"I always create minutes and daily reports, but it takes a lot of time..." In order to solve your problems, Macnica has developed a system that allows you to easily create and summarize documents using just voice input. I am a summary ninja who can do it.

There are two types of Omote Ninja: "Normal mode" and "Meeting mode". The former is a text that is transcribed (automatically by Omatome Ninja) from face-to-face conversations or the voice you spoke, and the latter is a text that is output by the transcription function attached to various MTG tools (copied to Omatome Ninja). & Paste), the AI will neatly summarize and proofread the content.

Also, when summarizing the meeting, it numbers each item of the meeting and indicates the next action, making it very easy to read and convenient.
Many customers expressed interest in the powerful benefit of ``Using Omatome Ninja, you can create documents that used to take several hours in just 20 seconds!''

Brighter Redact solves problems when implementing AI

At Macnica booth, A.I. They also exhibited multiple solutions to solve problems during implementation.

Among them 1 But, brighter AI Video anonymization processing solution developed by Brighter Redact is.
These days A.I. Image and video data are increasingly being used for learning, but from the perspective of protecting personal information, it is sometimes necessary to perform mosaic processing on images such as human faces. However, depending on the degree of mosaic, A.I. There was an issue in which humans were recognized as different creatures or objects.

What has changed this situation is the ability to create synthetic data that does not lead to individual identification while preserving as much information as possible in images and videos (such as gender and facial expressions). Brighter Redact That's why. brighter AI The company's technology is widely used by companies in Germany and other countries, and in a wide variety of industries including automobiles, medical care, public services, mobility, and research and development. From now on A.I. With the expected further development of technology, these technologies will likely receive more attention.

▲Explanation of brighter Redact seen at the exhibition.
▲In addition to the above, we also exhibited solutions that can be used to anonymize personal information via text, secure data sharing between companies, and strengthen edge AI.

Summary

This time, we have brought you the exhibit report for the 4th​ ​AI /Artificial Intelligence EXPO [Autumn].
Macnica booth received a large number of visitors, perhaps because many people were interested in the keyword "brain waves," even though they are not used to hearing about it.
I would like to take this opportunity to once again express my gratitude.

At Macnica we work closely with our customers to help them solve their various problems, including providing information on the solutions introduced in this article.
We also plan to exhibit at various exhibitions in the future, so please stop by if you see Macnica logo.

Guidance of the demonstration

Would you like to actually measure brain waves?
What is the "skill transfer of experts" based on brain waves? What is AI that learns human consciousness and judgment?

I think there are a lot of unknown things, so why not try measuring your brain waves first and experience what it's like?
After the actual measurement, we will provide support from proposals to implementation and operation so that we can use AI using EEG at the customer's site while including examples of AI utilization in our activities so far. increase.
