The project "Open Source Database" APLLO "from Japan" from the University of Tokyo is Japan's only comprehensive crowdfunding service "Sora Tobu Penguin" that can do all of investment type, purchase type and donation type. Achieved the highest domestic amount of 276,000,000 yen in the history of funding.
The "APLLO" project is a project to develop the "next generation database for the AI era" by Darwin Education Co., Ltd., whose representative director is Kenya Tamura, a geographer enrolled in the doctoral program at the Graduate School of Interdisciplinary Information Studies, the University of Tokyo.Mr. Tamura's research theme is "preservation and re-expression of space in a database", and as part of that research result, he developed a knowledge base "knowledge neuron" that focuses on the fact that meaning changes depending on the combination of words. ing.
In the conventional knowledge base "Knowledge Graph", the relevance of data is expressed by the combination of subject, predicate, and object called RDF.However, the newly developed knowledge neuron can structurally store not only relationships but also meanings and interpretations, and will be able to "capture the context".The knowledge neurons created by this research result will be utilized in a wide range of fields such as "intelligent information retrieval", "help desk", "data mining tools" for analyzing large amounts of data, and "property of personal and corporate data". Possible.By implementing these research results as a business, new products / services and social systems can be created, and many benefits can be achieved for the economy and society.
Mr. Tamura founded Darwin Education Co., Ltd. and developed a new database management system "APLLO" as a technology to store knowledge neurons so that he can take the initiative in implementing it in society.In the future, we will develop an interpretation algorithm (AI) suitable for "APLLO" and aim to release a search engine as open source.
This "APLLO" project is an investment-type, student support project for "Sora Tobu Penguin," raising funds of 2019 yen per unit from March 3, 29 to April 2019, 04.At the target amount of 30 yen, 1 yen was collected.The distribution ratio of the project is "sales subject to distribution (tax excluded) x 1,000,000% ÷ 200,000,000 x 276,000,000 unit" from the first calculation period to the 4th year, and "sales subject to distribution" from the 80th year onward. Etc. (excluding tax) x 300% ÷ 1 x 5 unit ".
