受賞理由

(楽天プレスリリースより引用)

AnyTech株式会社は、AIテクノロジーのスタートアップ企業であり、水質を分析するディープラーニングテクノロジー「DeepLiquid」(ディープリキッド)を開発しました。

「DeepLiquid」は、水面の映像と画像を処理することにより、水質の監視および分析を可能にする技術で、創業者の島本 佳紀氏は、10年前から研究を開始しました。従来、水質と廃水処理は、水処理施設において水質監視員を雇い、手動で化学センサーを使って行うことが主流でしたが、その精度は低く、結果が不安定であることが課題でした。「DeepLiquid」の開発により、「Liquid Texture Mining」と呼ばれるコアテクノロジーが、人では3日間を要する作業を、わずか1秒間で99%の精度で実施することを可能としました。人による監視の代替となり、膨大なコストの削減にも繋がっています。このコアテクノロジーは今後、微生物分析など、より多くの分野に適用できる可能性を秘めています。­

島本氏は、「DeepLiquid」のようなテクノロジーの活用が、環境問題への関心を高めるとともに、地球環境の保全へと繋がっていくといいます。革新的なテクノロジーをもたらすだけでなく、環境問題への関心をもたらした功績を称え、AnyTech株式会社に本賞を贈ります。

表彰式は今月9日に楽天が開催するテクノロジーイベント「楽天テクノロジーカンファレンス2019」にておこなわれました。

DeepLiquidとは

AnyTechは「AI×流体力学」の知見や技術を活用した世界初の水質判定AI『DeepLiquid』を開発運営し、水処理施設・バイオ医薬品・化粧品・飲料製造工場、自動車関連企業といった様々な企業に提供している。従来、カメラでの流動体の分析は困難を極める事から高額なセンサーが主であった液体の監視・異常検知において、画像による異常検知の実用化に成功している。
