    “Pursuing infinite possibilities with the power of ideas” since 1896 The198 th Fiscal Year Interim Business Report April 1, 2017 September 30, 2017 INTERIM BUSINESS REPORT Securities code: 3202 010_7046302832912.indd 2 2017/12/20 17:06:41 Management’s message <Introduction> During the first half of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2018, the Japanese economy remained in a moderate recovery trend overall. Although the domestic income and employment environment continued to improve as a result of various government policies, concerns remained in issues such as the ongoing uncertainty of overseas economies. Under these circumstances, the Group continued to work diligently on managerial initiatives based on the “Bridge to the Future” Mid-term Management Plan in each of its business sections. <Business results for the first half> Net sales decreased to ¥2,133 million (down 7.2% year on year) due to the absence of extraordinary income in the commercial property business seen in the same period of the previous fiscal year, as well as sluggish growth among some OEM customers in the health-related and apparel-related sectors. However, operating income increased to ¥227 million (up 14.9% year on year) as a result of a reduction in general and administrative expenses, and ordinary income increased to ¥169 million (up 81.7% year on year) due to the absence of one-time non-operating expenses incurred in the same period of the previous fiscal year. As a result of this, combined with the absence of extraordinary income and extraordinary losses recorded in the same period of the previous fiscal year and income taxes, profit attributable to owners of parent increased around two-fold year on year to ¥130 million (up 105.7% year on year).

    Anchoring Events to the Time Axis toward Storyline Title Construction( Dissertation_全文 ) Author(s) Sakaguchi, Tomohiro Citation 京都大学 Issue Date 2019-03-25 URL https://doi.org/10.14989/doctor.k21912 Right 許諾条件により本文は2019-10-01に公開 Type Thesis or Dissertation Textversion ETD Kyoto University Anchoring Events to the Time Axis toward Storyline Construction Tomohiro Sakaguchi March 2019 Abstract To understand the present situations and predict the future, it is essential to look at the past. Since social situations and people’s sense of values are constantly changing, most facts are not true eternally. In order to overview a transition of interpretations about events and things, it is necessary to read texts in a chronological order and organize information along the time axis as a storyline. However, there is a large amount of text on the Web, and since it is no longer impossible to read all the related text manually, a new tool is required. Natural language processing (NLP) is a technology to analyze text using comput- ers and is used in various applications such as information retrieval, opinion analysis, summarization, question answering, and machine translation. A text includes event in- formation in the past, present, and future, so there have been many studies analyzing temporal information in a document. However, they mainly focus on relative local rela- tions between events and between event and time, and there are few studies anchoring events to the time axis with the consideration of global information. In this thesis, we present (i) temporal expressions analysis, (ii) temporal corpus con- struction, and (iii) temporal information analysis and timeline generation, toward story- line generation.

In the past, chess, Go, and Shogi players have played matches against computers, and it’s clearly shown the history of the evolution of computers. Lately, AI technologies such as “machine learning” and “deep learning” have drawn much attention, but the most difficult thing for these interactions between computers and humans is that the thinking process of an AI is done in a black box. People don’t know how the process leads from the question to the answer – people don’t know the way of thinking an advanced AI has followed. From now on, it is expected that AI will be leveraged in many situations in society, but for humans the way of thinking and the process are important as well. Unless there are convincing explanations and consensus, it might be difficult to be incorporated in the society even if the technologies are highly advanced. Additionally, AI is not 100% versatile. For example, in Shogi there is a term “horizon effect”. It means to procrastinate on solving major problems and disadvantages and cover them up, and eliminate them from the assessment of predictions.
