Kyushu University Mass For Industry Research Institute Fujitsu Social Mathematical Joint Research Division, Fujitsu Laboratories Ltd., and Fujitsu Laboratories Ltd. automatically perform complicated daycare admission selection, which has been carried out manually over several days, in just a few seconds. We have developed an AI technology that calculates the optimal admission allocation.

 In the selection work for admission to a nursery school, the optimal allocation is made based on complicated conditions such as the priority of applicants decided by each local government and the desire to enter the same nursery school of siblings. , Adjusting the wishes of all applicants.However, it is difficult to ensure that all applicants can enter as desired.

 The technology developed this time depends on complicated desired conditions such as "I want you to give priority to having your siblings in the same nursery school" and "You can have different nursery schools, but if you can only enter one of your siblings, you will decline." Finding allocations that give everyone the highest possible hope in line with priorities by modeling relationships with a mathematical technique called game theory that rationally resolves relationships between people with disagreements. Is now possible.

 Using this technology, we verified the anonymized data of about 8,000 applicants in Saitama City, and found that there were a large number of 20 to 30 staff members so far regarding the complicated and detailed allocation according to Saitama City's own rules. I was able to calculate the optimal allocation in just a few seconds, instead of spending the number of days.If this technology is put into practical use, not only will the selection work load of local government employees be significantly improved, but it will also be possible to send decision notifications to admission applicants at an early stage, and improvement of resident services can be expected. It will be possible to operate with more detailed rules, and it is expected that the satisfaction level of admission applicants will improve.

 Fujitsu will provide this technology as an optional service for the childcare business support system "MICJET MISALIO" for local governments during FY2017, as well as Fujitsu's AI technology "FUJITSU Human Centric AI Zinrai". ) ”, Aiming to apply to various matching problems.
