Class1－Class7： Lectures
Course schedule/Objectives
| Course schedule | Objectives | |
|---|---|---|
| Class 1 | Introduction to Ambient Computing - Development of Ambient Computing | This lecture will outline the development of XR/IoT/AI and other component technologies of ambient computing, which is a technology for use in an era when computers are integrated into all environments. |
| Class 2 | アンビニエントコンピューティング概論－アンビエントコンピューティングと Introduction to Ambient Computing - Ambient Computing and People | Understanding human behavior is important for ambient computing. This lecture will provide an overview of techniques for understanding human behavior and explain various issues, including the ethical aspects of using human subjects. |
| Class 3 | The Use of Data Science in Life Insurance Companies | The role of data science in the life insurance business and its applications will be introduced, using the analysis of medical data in the development of life insurance products as a case study. |
| Class 4 | Financial Data Analytics in Practice | Machine learning and statistical science are increasingly being used in banks and other financial institutions. This lecture will explain the characteristics and approaches of data analytics in the financial domain. Challenges and issues to be addressed in the future will also be explained, focusing on the technical aspects. |
