  • Chapter 8 Taxation
    A Guide to Living in Saitama Chapter 8 Taxation 1 Income Tax Saitama’s Prefectural Mascot Kobaton 2 Inhabitant Tax 3 Other Major Taxes All residents of Japan, regardless of nationality, are obligated to pay taxes. Taxes are an important resource used to promote a happy and stable environment for everyone. Taxes support various projects across a wide range of fields such as education, welfare, civil engineering, medical treatment, culture, environment, and industry. The two main taxes are income tax, which is levied by the national government, and inhabitant tax (prefectural and municipal tax), which is levied by both the prefectural and municipal governments. You may be exempt from paying income tax and inhabitant tax because of a taxation treaty between your country and Japan. To avoid double taxation, special exemptions have been established through bilateral taxation treaties between Japan and various countries. To check if these exemptions apply to you, please contact your country's embassy in Japan for further information. Payment of taxes must be done by the due date. If payment is overdue, an overdue fee will be incurred every day from the day after the due date until the payment is made. If your taxes remain unpaid for an extended period of time, your taxable assets will be seized. We encourage you to pay these taxes by the due date.

  • 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]).
