データベースな皆様「情報爆発時代の知的財産保護　〜産学連携の推進に向けて〜」なる特許庁からのご講演をご案内申し上げます。知的財産推進計画２００８も　ご紹介頂けます。喜連川優 ------------------------- 開催日 H20年08月06日開催場所東京大学本郷キャンパス工学部新2号館10階電気系会議室5 活動主体全体共通活動内容日時:2008年08月06日(水)13:30〜15:00 講演者: 特許庁知的財産活用企画調整官瀧内健夫氏 Title : 情報爆発時代の知的財産保護　〜産学連携の推進に向けて〜 Abstract: 資源に乏しい我が国が、今後も国際競争力を維持していくためには、知的財産を創造し、保護し、活用することが必要不可欠である。そのため、2002年2月の小泉総理大臣の施政方針演説を受けて、 "知的財産立国"の実現を国家戦略と位置づけ、様々な施策が展開されている。しかしながら、そもそも知的財産とは何であり、なぜ日本の国家戦略の鍵を握っているのか？本講演では、まずそのような素朴な疑問に答えることから始めたい。続けて、政府がどのような知財戦略を立て、どのような施策を展開しているかを説明することとする。さらには、"知的財産立国"の実現のために、大学の知財活動や産学連携がいかに重要であるか、そして、これらに関してどのような取組が行われているかをお話ししたい。一方、身近な話題として、研究者が留意すべき事項や研究者の知財環境改善のための取組についてもカバーする。

The purpose of DMSS2008 is to bring together researchers from statistical science and machine learning and have extensive discussions on diverse aspects of statistical data mining. We solicit papers addressing theoretical and methodological aspects of machine learning, statistical science, and their relevant fields, which contribute to understanding and development of data mining. We have dealt with various disciplines of data mining in Japanese Society of Artificial Intelligence (JSAI) Special Interest Groups such as Knowledge-Based Systems (SIG-KBS) and Fundamental Problem of AI (SIG-FPAI). On the other hand, there are strong requests from data mining researches for more extensive and structured discussions on statistical science and machine learning. In response to such movement, we newly started the workshop on data mining and statistical mathematics (SIG-DMSM). This workshop deals with statistical and machine learning aspects of data mining, and aims at creating new data mining paradigms. DMSS is an annual international workshop within the framework of SIG-DMSM. Topics of interest include, but not limited to, the following areas: Statistical and Bayesian modeling, Data Mining, Machine Learning, Probabilistic and Statistical Reasoning, Data Visualization, Algorithmic Search and Reasoning for Data Mining, Algebraic Approach to Data Mining, Data Base Architecture and Processing for Data Mining, Applications of Data Mining and Statistical Sciences to Real World Tasks, e.g., Bioinformatics and Marketing.

However, there are various barriers which stand in our way to using these systems freely and flexibly. In order to discuss how to overcome these barriers and create a more human-centered communication environment, in 2007 the first International Symposium on Universal Communication was held in Kyoto, Japan featuring discussions with well-known researchers from around the world. Following its success, the second International Symposium on Universal Communication will be held in Osaka, Japan. Topics of interest are as follows, but not limited to 　- Information retrieval and information analysis 　- Information credibility 　- Knowledge processing 　- Language resources 　- Speech recognition and synthesis 　- Machine translation and speech translation 　- Natural language processing 　- Spoken language processing 　- Multilingual information processing 　- Super high-resolution image technology 　- 3D visualization, imaging and display technologies 　- 3D sound processing 　- Virtual reality, mixed reality and augmented reality 　- Multisensory (visual, acoustic, haptic, olfactory, etc) interaction 　- Human factors 　- Human interface and interaction technologies 　- Real-world sensing technologies General Chair Yuichi Matsushima, National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT), Japan General Vice Chairs Kazumasa Enami, NICT, Japan Hiromitsu Wakana, NICT, Japan Technical Program Committee Chair: Satoshi Nakamura, NICT/ATR, Japan Vice Chair: Naomi Inoue, NICT/ATR, Japan - Akio Ando, NHK Science & Technical Research Laboratories, Japan - Martin S.
