Generating a Map of Well-being Regions using Multiscale Moving Direction Entropy on Mobile Sensors

The well-being of individuals in a crowd is interpreted as a product of the crossover of individuals from heterogeneous communities, which may occur via interactions with other crowds. The index moving-direction entropy corresponding to the diversity of the moving directions of individuals is introduced to represent such an inter-community crossover. Multi-scale moving direction entropies, composed of various geographical mesh sizes to compute the index values, are used to capture the information flow owing to human movements from/to various crowds. The generated map of high values of multiscale moving direction entropy is shown to coincide significantly with the preference of people to live in each region.

Data Leaves: Scenario-oriented Metadata for Data Federative Innovation

A method for representing the digest information of each dataset is proposed, oriented to the aid of innovative thoughts and the communication of data users who attempt to create valuable products, services, and business models using or combining datasets. Compared with methods for connecting datasets via shared attributes (i.e., variables), this method connects datasets via events, situations, or actions in a scenario that is supposed to be active in the real world. This method reflects the consideration of the fitness of each metadata to the feature concept, which is an abstract of the information or knowledge expected to be acquired from data; thus, the users of the data acquire practical knowledge that fits the requirements of real businesses and real life, as well as grounds for realistic application of AI technologies to data.

Feature Concepts for Data Federative Innovations

A feature concept, the essence of the data-federative innovation process, is presented as a model of the concept to be acquired from data. A feature concept may be a simple feature, such as a single variable, but is more likely to be a conceptual illustration of the abstract information to be obtained from the data. For example, trees and clusters are feature concepts for decision tree learning and clustering, respectively. Useful feature concepts for satis-fying the requirements of users of data have been elicited so far via creative communication among stakeholders in the market of data. In this short paper, such a creative communication is reviewed, showing a couple of appli-cations, for example, change explanation in markets and earthquakes, and highlight the feature concepts elicited in these cases.

Effects of Interregional Travels and Vaccination in Infection Spreads Simulated by Lattice of SEIRS Circuits

The SEIRS model, an extension of the SEIR model for analyzing and predicting the spread of virus infection, was further extended to consider the movement of people across regions. In contrast to previous models that con-sider the risk of travelers from/to other regions, we consider two factors. First, we consider the movements of susceptible (S), exposed (E), and recovered (R) individuals who may get infected and infect others in the destination region, as well as infected (I) individuals. Second, people living in a region and moving from other regions are dealt as separate but interacting groups with respect to their states, S, E, R, or I. This enables us to consider the potential influence of movements before individuals become infected, difficult to detect by testing at the time of immigration, on the spread of infection. In this paper, we show the results of the simulation where individuals travel across regions, which means prefectures here, and the government chooses regions to vaccinate with priority. We found a general law that a quantity of vaccines can be used efficiently by maximizing an index value, the conditional entropy Hc, when we distribute vaccines to regions. The efficiency of this strategy, which maximizes Hc, was found to outperform that of vaccinating regions with a larger effective re-generation number. This law also explains the surprising result that travel activities across regional borders may suppress the spread if vaccination is processed at a sufficiently high pace, introducing the concept of social muddling.
