About CRIS
About CRISCRIS is an NII division for joint researches established jointly by NII and LINE Corporation in April 2018. Focusing on "robust intelligent bases" and "technologies solving social problems," we work on research and development of information technology (IT) that can solve social issues, with intellectual ability that has the strength to cope with constantly changing and diverse real-world environments. In order to realize nation-wide collaboration, CRIS enlarges commitments of researchers belonging to universities and research institutes of Japan by operating several commissioned researches as follows.
About CRISRobust Intelligence
Robust intelligence covers all aspects of computational understanding and modeling of intelligence in complex and realistic situations, and is a higher-level concept that comprehensively deals with artificial intelligence (AI) and big data. Robust Intelligence is the knowledge base for realizing "integrated-progress" in researches on AI, computer vision, natural language processing, machine learning, computational neuro-science, cognitive science, and related areas. CRIS organizes individual researches for developing elementary technologies of the related areas, and inter disciplinary researches for constructing Robust Intelligence.
Social Technology
Outcomes of the researches will be applied to solve various social problems, to which Japan is now facing, such as low birth rate and aging, widened gaps on education, information, lives, etc.: attempts will be done for seeking ways to solve these problems by using Robust Intelligence and related elemental technologies.
