  • Relation Between the Tokyo Olympics and Real Estate Industry
    Relation Between the Tokyo Olympics and Real Estate Industry Report 2015 On the Occasion of Publication Hiromasa Nakamura Director General All Japan Real Estate Association, Tokyo Head Office Real Estate Guarantee Association, Tokyo Head Office In September 2013, Tokyo was selected as the host city for the 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games (hereinafter referred to as the Olympics) at the meeting of the International Olympic Committee. It is still fresh in our memories that not only the citizens of Tokyo but also people throughout Japan were thrilled with joy. The All Japan Real Estate Association, Tokyo head office, has been making survey studies related to condominium policy, regional disaster prevention, and city planning, as well as proposals based on such studies through the research institute it established, Zennichi Tokyo Academy, headed by Professor Yasushi Aoyama of Meiji University Graduate School and the former vice governor of the Tokyo metropolitan government. The Zennichi Tokyo Academy has been studying the topic of the relation between the Tokyo Olympics and the real estate industry over two years since the decision came that the Olympics will be held in Tokyo. While it is expected that there will be even more real estate transactions by foreigners ahead of the Olympics, on the other hand, we are seeing more and more vacant dwellings due to the declining birthrate and depopulation and this is becoming a social problem. At the Zennichi Tokyo Academy, discussions have been advanced under the recognition that in addition to making Tokyo a city that will prosper in terms of business, it is important to maintain and expand Tokyo as a city that is safe, secure, and easy to live in even as it internationalizes.

  • Deep Two-Way Matrix Reordering for Relational Data Analysis
    Deep Two-Way Matrix Reordering for Relational Data Analysis Chihiro Watanabe∗1 and Taiji Suzuki†1,2 1Graduate School of Information Science Technology, The University of Tokyo, Tokyo, Japan 2Center for Advanced Intelligence Project (AIP), RIKEN, Tokyo, Japan Abstract Matrix reordering is a task to permute the rows and columns of a given observed matrix such that the resulting reordered matrix shows meaningful or interpretable structural patterns. Most existing matrix reordering techniques share the common processes of extracting some feature representations from an observed matrix in a predefined manner, and applying matrix reordering based on it. However, in some practical cases, we do not always have prior knowledge about the structural pattern of an observed matrix. To address this problem, we propose a new matrix reordering method, called deep two-way matrix reordering (DeepTMR), using a neural network model. The trained network can automatically extract nonlinear row/column features from an observed matrix, which can then be used for matrix reordering. Moreover, the proposed DeepTMR provides the denoised mean matrix of a given observed matrix as an output of the trained network. This denoised mean matrix can be used to visualize the global structure of the reordered observed matrix. We demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed DeepTMR by applying it to both synthetic and practical datasets. Keywords: matrix reordering, relational data analysis, neural network, visualization 1 Introduction Matrix reordering or seriation is a task to permute the rows and columns of a given observed ma- trix such that the resulting matrix shows meaningful or interpretable structural patterns [4, 22]. Such reordering-based matrix visualization techniques provide an overview of the various practical data ma- trices, including gene expression data [8, 12], document-term relationship data [5], and archaeological data [18] (e.g., the relationships between tombs and objects in Egypt [26]).

  • Appendix 3 Calculation of the Weights for the Imputed Rent
    Appendix 3 Calculation of the weights for the imputed rent (1) Imputed rent used for the weight The imputed rent estimated in the National Survey of Family Income and Expenditure (NSFIE), which is conducted every five years (one year before the base period, 2014 NSFIE for the 2015-base) is used.46 The correspondence of surveyed municipalities between the Family Income and Expenditure Survey (FIES) and NSFIE is as follows. a) Released figures of corresponding cities are used for cities with prefectural governments and middle and major cities in the city group classification. b) As for municipalities other than those in a), considering the sample size, figures of the municipality groups within prefectures47 to which the municipalities belong are used. (2) Deduction of rents for land and costs of repairs and maintenance conceptually paid by landlords The imputed rent in the NSFIE conceptually includes rents for land and costs of repairs and maintenance for facilities paid by landlords, but these expenses, which overlap with rents for land, etc. paid by households owning houses, are deducted. The expenses to be deducted are calculated by districts as follows using the result of the NSFIE: Imputed rent after deduction = Imputed rent of households owning houses estimated by NSFIE – (1) “Rents for land” paid by households owning houses in NSFIE – (2) “Repairs & maintenance” of households owning houses in NSFIE + (3) “Repairs & maintenance” of households renting privately owned houses in NSFIE48 Expenditures paid by households renting privately
