Research Summary
Integrating the Simulation Science (3rd science) and Data Science (4th science), our long-term goal is to establish the new “Science of Prediction” as the 5th scientific paradigm. Prediction and control have long been studied, but it is still a challenge to apply the traditional methods to large-scale, complex problems. Here we aim to establish the science for prediction and control for large and complex real-world problems. Human society is facing difficult problems such as environmental change, natural resources, population, medicine and health, at the individual level to the global scale. The “Prediction Science” will be a hub connecting a wide range of human knowledge, providing an objective, scientific approach based on prediction to the sustainable development of human society.
