Eriko spoke as a panelist at the 20th Harvard Social Enterprise Conference (SECON) Panel : “Innovators Everywhere: Pathways to Progress through “Unlikely” Problem Solvers” This panel was themed around Open Innovation2.0; one of the solutions to “complex social problems”. The collaborations seen these days – the public x private sectors, old large companies x startups, and also talent pools of individual contributors around the world. Our panel consisted of people with a mix of backgrounds – federal government, international development, civic hacking, and community-based incubation. I was part of this panel as a practitioner of cross culture community-based open innovation. Multi-cultural collaboration is always difficult as it requires people with totally different backgrounds and thought processes to work together – the outcome people expect is called “disruptive innovation”. But it is not easy. What then is the solution? I was really curious to hear about this from other panelists. I always thought “Entrepreneurial mindset” in individuals is the key. Innovation, collaboration, all of these come from individuals. This is the reason Binnovative exists. And the interesting thing is — my peer panelists also thought that mindset is key. Regardless of their background. Everyone who experienced successful collaboration (maybe after failures) seem to come to the same conclusion. I really liked interacting with peer panelists having similar goals. Appreciated being part of this amazing panel, learned a lot, and made great friends. (Special thanks to the moderator Matt Scott, the global lead of NASA ISAC which we organize Boston event every year) Being part of this panel also reconfirmed what I am in the process of achieving as a socially minded entrepreneur. Finally, I really appreciate my Binnovative team members and the Binnovative community. I was a representative of Binnovative at this panel; this happened because of everyone.One more thing — I respect the dedication of the many people I met, who flew in from Japan, India, or the Middle East, down to Boston especially for this event. There is a wealth of learning about the subject of Social Enterprise in this conference. (According to Mr. Yutaka Tanabe who is attending this event every year since 2003 all the way from Japan, I am the first Japanese female panelist). （日本語） 3/2, ハーバード社会起業大会でパネル登壇してきました。（毎年開催されるこの大会、今年が20回目とのことです。） パネルのタイトルは、“Innovators Everywhere: Pathways to Progress through “Unlikely” Problem Solvers” 複雑な社会問題（complex social problems）を解決する為の、いわゆるOpen Innovation2.0*についての議題です。 Open Innovation1.0*は、問題提供、問題解決を一対一の関係性で行うものであるのに対して、Open Innovation2.0は、社会解決の課題を解決する新しいタイプのオープンイノベーション、共創型の課題解決法です。（”コレクティブインパクト”のコンセプトとも言えるかと思います）今回のSECONのメインテーマも、Unlikely Allies, とあるように、様々なコラボレーションから、社会課題にも破壊的なイノベーションが求められていることがよく映しだされています。 *Open Innovation1.0, Open Innovation2.0 について：Open Innovationについてのレクチャーと、Binnovativeの活動でどのようにOpen Innovationアクティビティを実施しているか、については去年(2018年）の1月にニューヨークのMBAの会でレクチャーさせていただいたので、その時に使ったスライドをこちらにシェアしました ↓（日本語）。よろしければご参照くださいオープンイノベーション講義スライド 私たちのパネルは、政府の関係者、政府とスタートアップを連携させる取り組みをしている人、国際開発の人など様々なバックグラウンドの人が混じっており、その様々なバックグランドに同じ「コラボレーション」という軸を刺して何が出てくるかというとても興味深いセッションでした。 NASA International Space Apps Challenge (ISAC) のグローバルオーガナイザーであるMatt Scott氏がパネルモデレーター、数年前までグローバルオーガナイザーを担当していたBlake Garcia氏もパネリストとして登壇。私は、５年間ISAC Bostonを主催しているBinnovativeを代表して、国や文化、バックグラウンドが激しく違う人たちのコラボレーションでオープンイノベーションプロジェクトをやっている立場で参加しました。 コラボレーションから破壊的イノベーションが生まれるのを切望して、様々な切り口からのコラボレーションを行う潮流が出てきているここ最近、何が難しい点で何が成功のポイントなのか。 私は、Binnovativeを立ち上げた理由も、活動を続けている理由も、「個々のアントレプレナーシップマインドセット」が全てのキーだと思っています。何故なら、コラボレーションだってイノベーションだって、人がやるんだから。企業の中のオープンイノベーション担当、政府のイノベーション担当。スタートアップのCEO。日本人。アメリカ人。 で、他のパネリストも、結局は「マインドセットが大事」と、人レベルに落ちてきているところで、すごく共感しました。 素敵なピアパネリストの皆さんと楽しい時間が過ごせたことを感謝。この素晴らしいパネリストチームを選りすぐって招集してくれたMatt Scottに感謝。 そして、この場に私はBinnovativeの代表で出たわけですが、一緒にイベントを作って実行してくれている、そしてパネルにも応援に来てくれた仲間に感謝。 また、この大会のために国外（日本やインド）からわざわざ飛んできている方にお目にかかりました。Social entreprise に対する真剣さには頭が下がります。大会でお目にかかった田辺さんは2003年から毎年来られているということで脱帽です。この大会にはそれだけの価値があるのだということです。（2003年から毎年この大会に参加されている！ 田辺さんによると、日本人女性がこの大会で登壇するのは大会で初めてだそうです） 本記事の内容に関して、詳しく記載したNoteのリンク↓を記載します。是非こちらもご参照ください（日本語）ハーバード社会起業大会(Harvard Social Enterprise Conference)でパネル登壇しました。 -Eriko
NASA ISAC 2018 Survey Results: How Did We Do?
Every year, we collect survey from participants after NASA International Space Apps Challenge. As organizer of the event, we want to make sure that participants’ expectations for the event are matched and that the event’s outcome align with our mission. So how did we do? Let’s take a look at 2018 NASA Hackathon’s feedbacks. [日本語] NASA International Space Apps Challengeではイベント開催後、参加者アンケートを集めています。これは、主催者として参加者の期待に応えると共に、私たちがミッションに沿う体験やスキルを皆様に提供できているか、評価する指標になります。さて、結果は？2018年NASAハッカソンにおける参加者の評価を見ていきましょう。 Participation: Participants by Team Type: Binnovative ISAC is a truly international event, with almost two thirds of our participants taking part in an international team. Our international teams provide opportunities for collaboration between participants in Tokyo, Boston and elsewhere in the world, allowing international team members to gain valuable experience working with people with different skills and backgrounds. 本年の大会(Binnovative ISAC)では2/3近くの参加者がインターナショナルチームに参加し、その名の通り国際的な大会となりました。インターナショナルチームではボストン、東京、その他地域の間にコラボレーションの機会を提供し、異なるバックグラウンドやスキルを持つ参加者が互いに協働する体験を可能にしています。 Participants by Venue Location:. Although the majority of our participants did so from the ISAC Boston venue, the number of participants taking part at the Tokyo Venue has increased since previous years. One of the advantages of this is a greater opportunity for even more of our participants to take part in international teams, with all of the challenges and rewards that come with it. 参加者の大部分がボストンからの参加を占めましたが、東京会場からの参加者は昨年に比べ増えたようです。それに伴い、インターナショナルチームの数が増え、インターナショナルチームに参加できる機会が増えました。 Demographics: Participants by Field: Although the majority of our participants come from an academic background, they come from a wide variety of different fields including engineering, computer science, software development and more. This diversity is one of the keys to success in hacking, as it provides participants with exposure to different perspectives and ideas. 参加者のほとんどが学術機関からの参加でしたが、その分野は工学、コンピュータサイエンス、ソフトウェア開発など多岐に渡りました。こういった多様性は参加者に様々な視点やアイディアに触れる機会をもたらし、ハッカソン成功への鍵となります。 Participants by Occupation: The majority of our participants are students from the Boston or Tokyo areas. Keeping in line with the results of the survey regarding age, more than half of the participants are undergraduate college students, with many of our older participants being either graduate students or working professionals. ボストンか東京エリアからの学生の参加がほとんどを占めました。半分以上が学部生の参加だったことは年齢層のデータにも現れていますが、更に上の世代を見ると、大学院生や社会人の参加者がが多くを占めました。 Participants by Age: The majority of our participants were of college age, with about two thirds of respondents indicating that they were below twenty-six years old. Members of this age group are some of the most highly involved in the hacking community, however as the data indicates, there is plenty of room for participation older than this. 大学生の年齢層が大半を占め、アンケートに答えた参加者の2/3は26歳以下でした。ハッカソンのコミュニティへの貢献度はこの年齢層が高いですが、データから見て分かるように、それより上の世代の方々に参加していただける余地はまだありそうです。 Hackathon Experience The majority of participants indicated that they found the hackathon to be adequate or better in helping them to think outside the box and come up with new and innovative ideas. ほとんどの参加者が本大会は独創的に新しい、または革新的なアイディアを考える上で役立ったと答えました。 The majority of participants indicated that they found their progress over the course of the hackathon to be adequate or better. One of the biggest challenges in participating in a hackathon is the time and resource constraint. Ultimately, it is a great accomplishment being able to meet the goals that are set during the planning phase of the hacking process. ほとんどの参加者がハッカソンで十分な、またはそれ以上の結果を残せたようです。本大会における一番のチャレンジに時間とリソースの制限があります。プロジェクトの企画で立てた計画案を遂行しゴール達成できることは素晴らしいことです。 One of the advantages and challenges of Binnovative ISAC is our strong emphasis on international collaboration. In addition to the challenges of hacking, our participants (particularly those involved in international teams) face the challenge of communicating across language and cultural barriers. We provide our participants with resources to help them overcome this challenge, and we’re pleased that our participants found doing so to be an educational experience. 本大会の利点でありチャレンジでもあるのが、国際交流がとても強調されている点です。参加者は、ハッキングのみならず、言語や文化の壁を超えてコミュニケーションを図るというチャレンジに向き合います。それに対し私たちはサポートを提供しますが、このチャレンジが参加者の大事な学習機会になったことを嬉しく思います。 We’re pleased to note that the overwhelming majority of respondents indicated that they agreed or strongly agreed that they would recommend our event to a friend. This suggests a likelihood of strong participation in our future events, and we’re very much looking forward to continuing to host Binnovative ISAC. 参加者の大半に、本大会を友達に勧めることに賛成、または強く賛成すると答えていただき、私たちは嬉しく思います。将来私たちが主催するイベントに参加する可能性も強く示すもので、引き続きBinnovative ISACを主催できることを楽しみにしています。 We are pleased to see these results, as we plan to improve the participants experience every year. We look forward to seeing you at the next event! 毎年参加者に提供できる体験を改善する中で、上記の結果を受けて嬉しく思います。また次のイベントで皆様と会えることを楽しみにしています！
We made it! 5th NASA Hachathon IN BOSTON (2018NASA ISACを開催しました)
We are pleased to announce the conclusion of this year’s NASA International Space Apps Challenge – Boston (ISAC-Boston). With the support of sponsors and community members, we were once again able to host a successful event providing participants in Boston and Tokyo with an opportunity to participate in this year’s Space Apps hackathon. On behalf of the organizers, participants, and the program coordinators at NASA, we thank you and your organization for your kindness and and generosity in supporting this endeavor. On the weekend of October 20th, the teams came together to implement and demonstrate their ideas during the 27 hour hackathon event. Ten teams submitted projects, and among these teams, our panel of judges selected two winning teams to go on to global judging by NASA: one local team and one international team. These two teams submitted innovative solutions to the “Looking GLOBE-ally” challenge. We are extremely pleased at the collaborative spirit exhibited by our teams, and the power of global collaboration they leveraged in working towards a common goal. This year, the Space Apps challenge returned with resounding popularity around the world. ISAC-Boston joined similar events held in over 200 locations across 75 countries in hosting the challenge, with thousands of coders, scientists, designers, storytellers, makers, builders, and others coming together for a weekend of brainstorming, collaboration and engagement with important, real world problems. The ISAC-Boston event, co-organized by Binnovative.org, featured 10 teams and over 47 participants from the United States, Japan, Saudi Arabia and Singapore, including several return attendees from previous years. These participants formed teams comprised of either local (local teams) or local and international members (international teams), and worked diligently over the two weeks leading up to the event to come up with solutions to a number of different challenges provided by NASA including “Polar Quest,” “Looking GLOBE-ally,” and “Virtual Space Exploration” among others. This year’s challenges were fairly open ended, which allowed our participants to tackle problems with significant impact in a wide array of applications, and we are extremely pleased with the result of their efforts. This event would not have been the resounding success it was without the generous support. We deeply appreciate the willingness with which you have sponsored/attended/helped the NASA International Space Apps Challenge – Boston and we hope that you will support us again next year. (日本語) 2018年 ISAC Boston が今年も無事盛況に終わったことをここにご報告します。今年もスポンサー様、また多くの協力者のみなさまのご厚意により、ボストン・東京の方々にハッカソンに参加する機会を提供することが可能となりました。イベント企画チーム、参加者、プログラム責任者一同、ご協力いただきました方々のご尽力とご厚意に感謝申し上げます。 今年度のSpace Apps の大会も世界各地において盛況でした。200の会場、75か国において開催された本大会には幾千ものプログラマー、科学者、デザイナー、スローリーテラー、技術者が集まり、重要な現実の問題について、週末に渡りブレインストーミングやコラボレーション、議論の機会を得ました。今年度もBinnovative.orgが共主催者となって開催されたISAC Boston では、過去のISAC Bostonへ参加したリピーターを含む４７人がアメリカ、日本、サウジアラビア、シンガポールから参加し10チームを構成しました。参加者たちは「ローカルチーム」と「インターナショナルチーム」を編成し、大会本番に至るまでの２週において、NASAが提示した ”Polar Quest” “Looking GLOBE-ally”,”Virtual Space Exploration”などのチャレンジに取り組みました。今年度のチャレンジの内容は比較的抽象度が高く、幅広いフィールドに影響を及ぼすことができるもので、参加者達が出した結果を私たちは誇りに思います。 大会が行われた週末、27時間にわたったイベントの中で、自分たちのアイディアを形にすべく、チームは一丸となってプロジェクトに取り組みました。計10チームがプロジェクトを提出し、うち2チーム（ローカルとインターナショナル各1チーム）が会場の審査員によって、NASAが審査を務めるグローバル審査に進むことが決定しました。両チームとも”Looking GLOBE-ally”というチャレンジに対し、革新的なソリューションを提示しました。私たちは先述の2チームが発揮したコラボレーション、国際異文化交流の力、またチーム一丸となって目標に向かう強さを、とても嬉しく受け止めています。 本大会の成功は皆様による厚いサポートの賜物です。本大会のサポートを快く受け入れていただいたスポンサーの皆様、参加者の皆さんまたサポートメンバー、応援していただいたコミュニティーメンバーに多大な感謝の念をお伝えするとともに、来年度の大会においてもご厚意頂くことを願っております。 ISAC Official Location Page https://2018.spaceappschallenge.org/locations/boston/ Award projects 1st: PLANET POLLUTER ( Team Husky ) 2nd: GLOBE CLOUD SEARCH (iteam5) Sponsor (Boston Venue) CIC – VENUE SPONSOR POLAR SELZER – GOLD SPONSOR OGAWA COFFEE USA – GOLD SPONSOR TOYOTA – SILVER SPONSOR KINTONE – SILVER SPONSOR BRAZA GRILL – GOLD SPONSOR CONSULATE GENERAL OF JAPAN IN BOSTON – SUPPORT Sponsor (International team Tokyo venue) ABEJA
Hacking from Binnovative Boston to Mars (by Delson)
My name is Delson Faria Dasilva and I am a mechanical engineering student at Wentworth Institute of Technology. I currently work for MIT on the NASA funded, Search for Extra-Terrestrial Genomes project (SETG), at MGH’s molecular biology laboratory. This is my story of how I hacked my way into this amazing opportunity, from Binnovative’s NASA international space apps (ISAC) challenge in Boston. The year is 2014 Binnovative is hosting Boston’s first ISAC Boston. When Founder and CEO of Binnovative Eriko Nishimoto invited me, I remember thinking this should be interesting “a whole weekend dedicated to hacking solutions for challenges proposed by NASA”. When I arrived I was blown away, Binnovative had created an environment full of mentors fostering collaboration between students, professionals, artist, engineers and everything in between. On top of that Binnovative’s Boston ISAC, would be the first chapter to support and facilitate a cross cultural collaboration between Boston and Tokyo, Japan! I was completely in awe of the projects these international teams had come up with, in simply 48 hours. From that moment on it was clear that just being involved with Binnovative wouldn’t be enough for me, I had to compete in the NASA ISAC. At first the idea of competing was scary. I had competed successfully all through high school in various competitions, but I had no experience programming and I didn’t know anything about space. But I would soon find out, that this is the beauty of Binnovative’s ISAC. The focus of the boston event has always been on collaboration not competition. The goal is to just dive into the challenges, explore unknown territory and learn as you go. That’s why this event is unlike anything else in the world. The more diverse a team is, the easier it becomes to develop real innovative and original ideas. 2015 was my first hackathon ever and I needed a team so I convinced my friend Josh who was a electrician apprentice to join me. We attended Binnovatives Ideathon pre-hacking event. This is where newcomers and veterans come together to pitch their project ideas for tackling the various challenges. It’s a great time just to meet people, make friends, and build a team for the main event. That’s where Josh and I met John Hrovat a medical programmer, and Nick Gonzales a history teacher/yoga instructor. That almost sounds like a bad joke “an engineer, electrician, programmer and yoga instructor walk into a bar….” Josh and I were there to meet new people, learn new skills, and just have fun. Josh was there to make friends and practice his japanese, Nick wanted to learn more about coding. This was my team, together we decided to tackle the wearable technology challenge! We started by getting to know each other by taking inventory of our skills and experiences to see how we could learn from each other and leverage each other’s strengths to become a better team. We all agreed that to get the full experience of everything Binnovative had to offer, so we decided to participate in the Mixed teams initiative. This is when a USA team is partnered with Japan based team. This added such a unique element to the event. A real opportunity to make friends in another country, work with amazing people on the other side of the planet. It was really interesting to practice translating ideas from english into japanese and vice versa. An opportunity to seeing how different cultural perspectives allowed for different approaches to problem solving. It was an unforgettable experience. I still talk to Katsuhiro Morishita, one of our japan teammate! Binnovative attracts some of the most extraordinary people from all fields and industries, how could it not. At the hackathon there are various designers, scientists, engineers, artists, and entrepreneurs that provide incredible mentorship for all kinds of projects. At the 2015 ISAC Boston I met Dr. Christopher Carr, a research scientist that works on Martian life detections systems. Excuse me, WHAT NOW‽ It turns out that Dr. Carr had also worked on a wearable computer for the NASA EVA space suit and referred us to some of his work for possible directions for our project. This is just what our team needed. We reviewed Dr. Carr’s paper and pitched him some ideas and he helped us refine them into a solid feasible concept to develop and prototype. Dr. Carr’s feedback along with various other mentors circling around the event were all an immense help to our project. The feedback, tips, techniques for presenting have proven powerful tools helping me through classes as well as jobs over the years. I think it’s very important to one’s personal growth to be a part of a supportive community and to give back to that community. You never know where your professional relationships can take you, thats why it’s so important to be engaged. I was very fortunate to learn of Binnovative when I did, and I still consider myself fortunate to be a part of this wonderful community. blog: projects.djd.im Instagram: @delthedesigner Twitter: @DDashiruba
AI 及び機械学習イベント@東京を開催しました(Hosted AI and machine learning event in Tokyo)
(Japanese follows. 日本語は英語の後にあります。) Hi, Strategy Manager Tomo Masuda here! On June 21st 2018, Venture Cafe Tokyo held a casual lecture event focusing on artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning as part of their Thursday Gathering series at Toranomon Hills. UNBOX THE BLACKBOX! was a session conducted by Binnovative, that provides answers to the needs of those who may not be experts on AI but wish to accurately capture the boundary between what can and cannot be done by this new tool. The event provided an opportunity to absorb, digest, interact, and deepen the understanding of cutting-edge technology and trends through primary sources that come from global community, all without using buzzwords or exaggerations as is commonly seen in AI literature. Several years have passed since artificial Intelligence (AI) and deep learning became hot topics with the media even talking about “singularity” and that ”AI will replace human’s jobs”. What can the new technology really bring to people today, one year, and five years from now? You may have difficulty imagining the big picture as you hear various people’s arguments on different things in the media at different times. At the same time, there is a big barrier in learning the theories and mathematical formulas from scratch on your own. You may have tried to learn hands-on, but only to realize the lack of sources except on typical topics such as handwritten number recognition and image classification. Though the newly published articles are available through open-source, they do not seem practical due to both technicality and language barrier. Many people get stuck, as the required knowledge is vast from device to cloud. In order to help overcome such problems, this session aimed to provide: Understanding on what can and cannot be done by the AI/data analysis available today, as of June 2018 Something that the audience can work on from tomorrow for those who wish to jump-start Registration through Connpass opened up two weeks before the event, and we saw a great turnout with registration of more than 100 people and 80-90 participants at the event (sorry we didn’t have enough chairs for everyone). At the event, we held the following two sessions, 30 min each; Masuda, Binnovative: Weak Artificial Intelligence/Data Analysis Overview As of June 2018 Mr.Nakatsuka, Pegara Inc. CTO: Deep Learning 11.5 for IT Engineers Detailed notes/briefings for the first session is summarized in the post below (Japanese only). Please take a look if you are interested. https://note.mu/tomo_makes/n/na7676fa64380 Notes for the second session are unfortunately not available for public, but Mr. Nakatsuka will be hosting study sessions “Deep Learning for IT Engineers” again in the coming days (https://connpass.com/event/90575/). Please feel free to follow the page! We had great positive feedback from the participants about the event, including the following: Participants were able to understand the overview of current AI in a short time Not only did participants learned the newest research progress on video processing, they were also introduced with data collection methods. Various demonstrations gave excitement to the audience We heard the following requests for the next event: I’d like to know more about application of deep learning on topics besides image recognition I’d like to know newest trend within academia I’d like to see the event take a deeper focus on examples of applications in business and competitions such as Kaggle I’d like to see the event focus on how-to tutorial of tools that let me apply in practice. We are currently planning the second event (and even after); watch out for notifications from us. To get introduced to the event, please register in Binnovative’s email list (please send a request to info@binnovative.org) or subscribe to connpass’s group (https://unboxtheblackbox.connpass.com/). Lastly, we would like to send huge thanks to Mr. Nakatsuka from Pegara Inc, who joined us in planning this event, members of Venture Cafe Tokyo, and all of those who showed up!! (Japanese) Binnovative Strategy Manager 増田です。 2018年6月21日に、Venture Cafe Tokyo – Thursday gathering@虎ノ門ヒルズにて、AI/機械学習に関するカジュアルなレクチャーイベントを開催しました。 Binnovativeでは、今回試験的にUNBOX THE BLACK BOX! というイベントシリーズを立ち上げました。その第1回開催です。 専門家でなくても、新しいものの「できること」と「できないこと」の境界線を冷静に捉え、うまく活用したい。UNBOX THE BLACKBOX! は、そんなニーズに応え、最先端のテクノロジーやトレンドを、バズワードやポジショントーク少なく、国境・言語の壁なく一次情報を取り入れ、かみくだき、さわって理解する場を提供するBinnovative主催のセッションシリーズです。 人工知能(AI)、Deep learningが盛んに取り上げられ、はや数年。「シンギュラリティ」「AIが仕事を奪う」と賑やかだけど、今日、一年後、五年後何がどこまでできるのか、色々な人、メディアで語る時間軸も異なり、今ひとつ全体像を掴みづらい。しかし自分で「理論や数式からを一から学ぶ」のはハードルも高い。ハンズオンで試すも手書き数字認識、画像分類とお決まりのものは多いが、その先となると情報がない。最先端の論文がオープンアクセスとはいえ、技術、英語両面で現実的でない。また、デバイスからクラウドまで求められる知識は広く挫折する。 そんな課題に応え、本セッションは、 – 2018年6月の人工知能/ データ分析にできること、できないことを、自分なりに理解する – 求める人には明日からできることをお持ち帰りいただく ことを目的に据えました。 Connpassにて参加募集をかけたのが開催2週間前。フタを開けると100人以上の登録、当日も80-90名にご参加いただき、立ち見も出る盛況でした。当日は、30分ずつ、下記のセッションを行いました。 ・Binnovative 増田: 2018年6月時点の”弱い”人工知能/データ分析概観 ・Pegara Inc. CTO 中塚さん: ITエンジニアのためのDeep Learning 11.5 前半詳細はこちらのポストにまとめております。ご興味をもった方はご覧ください。 https://note.mu/tomo_makes/n/na7676fa64380 後半資料については残念ながら非公開ですが、中塚さんの主催される勉強会「ITエンジニアのためのDeepLearning」 https://connpass.com/event/90575/ が今後も開催予定です！ぜひフォローください。 参加者アンケートからは、 ・AIの現状について、大枠を短時間で理解できた ・映像関連の最新の研究動向だけでなく、情報収集方法まで紹介されていたので参考になった ・さまざまなデモからワクワク感が得られた などの声に加えて、 次回へ向けては、 ・画像認識以外のディープラーニングの応用についてもっと知りたい ・学術界の最新動向が知りたい ・Kaggleなどのコンペ、実ビジネスで活用した事例をより深く取り上げて欲しい ・具体的なツールの使い方などを、実務で応用できるよう、取り上げて欲しい などの具体的な要望をいただきました。 第2回（&それ以降・・・）も開催する方向で検討中です。ご期待ください！ Binnovativeから配信されるメーリングリストにご登録いただくか(info@binnovative.org にご連絡ください)、connpassのグループ(https://unboxtheblackbox.connpass.com/)をsubscribeいただければ、ご案内いたします。 末筆ながら、今回共にイベントを組み立ててくれたPegara Inc. 中塚さん、 ご協力いただきました、Venture Cafe Tokyoのみなさま、お越し下さったみなさま、誠にありがとうございました。
