The papers are carried at Gifu University journal, "Gidai no Ibuki No.31."

On March 1 and 2, 2017, the Faculty of Engineering of Gifu University co-hosted an "Advanced IT Seminar - from Basics to Implementation of Deep Learning" with Gifu Prefectural Institute of Information Technology and IoT Acceleration Local Lab (also prefectural facility) targeting company employees.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is considered a major driving force to significantly transform business practices and society today. Participants of the seminar received training for the basics and implementation of "deep learning," a core technology of AI. The major themes were "image sortation" and "machine learning," both of which are anticipated to address issues like "scratch detection" and "abnormality detection and prediction" at manufacturing sites.

The Faculty of Engineering will open the new Research Center for Intelligence Science in April, 2017 and it is expected to play a pivotal role in advancing deep learning research and development.
