Syllabus

Course overview and goals

The purpose of this class course is to understand the current status and state-of-the-art of social implementation of AI and data science technologies, and to examine the applicability and challenges of these technologies. In each class, lecturers from companies in various fields such as architecture, IT, finance, and materials will introduce case studies of technology and product development using data science and AI.
The goal is for students to gain a broad perspective of the real world by acquiring knowledge about the application of data science and AI technologies in a wide range of fields, and by explaining their considerations about social applications in their assigned reports.
This course emphasizes dialogue with corporate lecturers. In addition to the seven class sessions, students shall, in principle, attend the DS&AI Forum to be held on the afternoon of November 28, 2025 at the Oookayama Campus. (Added on September 8, 2025)

Course schedule/Objectives

	Course schedule	Objectives
Class 1	Science-Based Thinking Required of Financial Institutions for Solving Social Issues	Learn about financial trends while examining real-world examples of financial support incorporating scientific insights.
Class 2	Discussion of the applicability of data science in life science	This lecture will discuss how data science can contribute to the development of life sciences.
Class 3	Applications of Data Analysis and AI in the Railway Industry	In recent years, railway companies can collect large volumes and diverse types of data, such as operational performance data and passenger congestion data. Consequently, research applying machine learning and AI to this data to mitigate congestion and prevent delays has become increasingly active. This lecture will cover the background, methodologies, and application examples of such research.
Class 4	Practical use of DS in Nippon Steel Engineering	The lecture introduces examples of how data is used in Nippon Steel Engineering. Also, we will introduce how data scientists develop their career in our company.
Class 5	TOPPAN's Utilization of Data Science and AI in DX	This lecture aims to understand and acquire knowledge of data utilization in manufacturing. It will explore how academic research is introduced into industry, drawing from examples of image/document-related R&D and data analysis/solution development within the printing business.
Class 6	Manufacturing and AI – Machine Tools and AI Applications	Understand the challenges facing manufacturing, the necessity of AI, and the real-world issues and solutions for AI implementation in production environments through concrete application examples. Focusing primarily on machine tools.
Class 7	Manufacturing and AI – Industrial Robots and AI Applications	Understand the challenges facing manufacturing, the necessity of AI, and the real-world issues and solutions for AI implementation in production environments through concrete application examples. Focusing primarily on industrial robots.
