RIKEN Center for Advanced Intelligence Project Imperfect Information Learning Team
Team Leader: Masashi Sugiyama (D.Eng.)
Research Summary
Recently, machine learning technology with big data has been actively investigated and its effectiveness has been demonstrated. However, depending on application domains, it is difficult or even it is not possible to collect a large amount of data. In the Imperfect Information Learning Team, for various machine learning tasks including supervised learning, unsupervised learning, and reinforcement learning, we develop novel algorithms that allow accurate learning from limited information. We also elucidate their theoretical properties and apply them to various real-world applications ranging from fundamental science to business.
