Title ： Applications of Bayesian/Sparse inferences for spatiotemporal pattern understanding
Abstract ： Recent frameworks of deep learning, typified by a 3D convolution neural network (3D-CCN) model, have been succeeded in representing motions features. They have led to growing interest in supervised machine learning approaches for spatiotemporal pattern recognition tasks, including motion predictions and action recognitions. In and around the fields of earth science and biology, vast numbers of observation data have been stored as sequential multimodal images. A successful use of these big imaging data for driving scientific discovery is one of key roles of data science. The representation learning frameworks might be a powerful tool for classifying phenomena of interest into several meaningful groups. However, supervised techniques for machine learning require a large amount of training data, and it consequently poses unrealistic workloads for human experts. A Bayesian approach is expected to be a most promising approach to understand the spatiotemporal patterns. In past five years, we have been developing unsupervised or semi-supervised techniques for analyzing the sequential images based on Bayesian inferences and sparse estimations motivated by some collaborative researches. In this seminar, we introduce recent applications on neuroscience. We will talk about the project scope and discuss some technological issues towards spatiotemporal pattern understanding.　（The talk will be given in Japanese.)

Title ： Numerical Calculation of PDE using Neural Networks
Abstract ： More and more application areas of deep neural networks are explored after remarkable achievements in the field of image recognition.  There are many fascinating features in neural networks: network weights are automatically determined by supervised learning with a huge number of labeled training data; only small computing resources are necessary in the applied phase with trained weights of networks.  Because of these attractive points, several trials have been done even in numerical computing areas.  In this talk, after introducing these studies, possible methods to compute partial differential equations are considered. (The talk will be given in Japanese.)
