On September 5th and 12th, Associate Professor Hamada and D1 student Yonekura gave presentations at the lunch seminars organized by the Osaka University Graduate School of Information Science and Technology.
The titles and contents of the respective seminars are as follows:
September 5th (Thursday) (168th Seminar)
Presenter: Associate Professor Hamada Rizk
Title: Redefining Positioning Systems with One Model for Every Space, Anywhere
Abstract: In the rapidly evolving landscape of positioning systems, the ability to seamlessly adapt to diverse environments is critical for unlocking new possibilities in tracking and localization. This talk introduces an AI-driven approach that redefines traditional positioning systems by enabling a single model to operate effectively across multiple spaces, regardless of their structural differences or network configurations. Unlike conventional methods that require extensive retraining for each new environment, this technique simplifies deployment while drastically reducing the time and resources needed to configure and maintain positioning systems in dynamic environments. By integrating a robust and adaptable model, we pave the way for scalable and universal tracking solutions that can meet the demands of modern applications, from smart buildings to industrial automation.
September 12th (Thursday) (169th Seminar)
Presenter: Haruki Yonekura
Title: Large language models for Geographic Information and Time-series data analysis
Abstract: This seminar will examine the use of pre-trained large language models and their architectures in domains outside of natural language processing, including geospatial information and time-series data analysis. In addition, I will explore methods for broadening their potential applications. Recent studies have primarily focused on leveraging these models for tasks like data labeling and imputation, capitalizing on the human-like knowledge that language models are believed to inherently possess. However, this seminar will shift the focus to examining the new possibilities for directly harnessing these models themselves, assessing both their utility and limitations.
