Talk "異分野連携ヒッチハイクガイド", 日本数学会 2019年度秋季総合分科会数学連携ワークショップ Society 5.0と数学4 - AIやビッグデータが注目される現代における数学への期待から-, Kanazawa University, 19 Sep. 2019
- 講演者は学生の時からトポロジー・代数的位相幾何学を専攻し、数年前までは産学連携など全く考えもしていませんでした。いくつかのきっかけで異分野との共同研究に関わるようになり、慣れない土地でときどき大怪我をしながらも、現在それなりに楽しく過ごしています。基本的には個人で行動する数学者が、言語も文化も異なる異国へ出かけて行くとどんな経験をするか、「よくある」エピソードを通してお話ししたいと思います。数学者が産業や諸科学とどう関わってゆけるか、モデルケースというにはあまり参考にならないかもしれませんが、ごく個人的な体験からひとつの例を紹介します。
Lecture "Modelling the world with Mathematics", special lecture at Science Education Center for Gidted Student, Ajou University, 24 Aug 2019.
- (1) What can we tell from data? (i)showcase of various applications of A.I. (ii) a classical example of Kepler and Newton: find scientific facts from data (iii) a social example: Markov chain (Hamburger share, Google's PageRank) (2) Can A.I. be creative? -- beyond just prediction -- (3) Danger of A.I. -- privacy, adversarial examples, and explainability --

Lecture "不思議な“数”の演算と図形の関係" at 数学キャラバン2017 拡がりゆく数学, 北海道大学, 12 Nov. 2017.
- (高校生向け) 自然数，小数，有理数，実数，複素数…と多くの種類の数がありますが，一体その正体は何でしょう．様々な“数”に共通する一つの性質として，足し算や掛け算といった演算ができることが挙げられます．そしてこの性質こそが，数を便利な概念に，コンピューターを強力な道具に仕立て上げていると言えます．今回は，複素数やそれを拡張した数の演算を使って，図形を回転させたり変形させたりすることができるのを見ます．
Lecture at JST研究成果展開事業・リサーチコンプレックス推進プログラム「画像科学の最前線－基礎数理から医療応用まで」, KISTEC, 7-8 Oct. 2017
- "大学での微分積分・線形代数再訪～画像と形状を扱うための基礎として": 画像と形状を扱う上で、実は大学初年級で学ぶ数学が活躍します。この講義では、画像を扱うという視点から、微分積分学と線形代数学を再訪します。
- "形状の平均とは？～変形を扱うための数学": 「数」についての平均が考えられるように、「形状」についても平均を考えることができます。平均を中心に画像と形状を扱うための手法を紹介します。.
