AboutAbout the lab
Finding the chances hidden beneath the data
The Ohsawa Lab studies how to design the whole of a business that uses data.
Data is merely the result of observing events in the world from the surface, so the lab places importance on understanding the events, situations, and human behavior behind it.
The lab has created methods of "chance discovery," which find from data the events and situations that matter when people decide how to act.
Together with companies, the lab runs a Social Cooperation Program, and engages in research and education that develop the ability to put data to use in business.
Key terms
- Chance discovery
- An approach that finds and explains, from data, the events and situations that are important when people decide how to act
- Data coupling
- An approach that does not simply combine data, but understands the nature of the events behind it and multiplies it together to create new value
- POS
- A system at store registers that records what sold and when. The data is used to analyze how products sell
ResearchResearch themes
The lab works on the overall design of businesses that make use of data. Centered on the data marketplace, it designs supermarkets, financial markets, and more through "data coupling."
*Illustrative imageData Marketplace and Data Coupling
This research creates places that turn data into value by showing who holds what data and who needs what. Working with companies, the lab pursues chance discovery from a wide range of data, including finance, POS, earthquakes, and sports.
*Illustrative imageExplaining Market Changes
For stock markets, the lab is developing "Topological AI," a new framework that explains changes in the whole market and in an individual stock at the same time, and captures signs of upcoming price movements.
*Illustrative imageA Workshop Method for Data Marketplace
The lab researches and develops "Innovators' Marketplace on Data Jackets," a game-style workshop method that links data needs with data seeds.
*Illustrative imageThinking About Infection Through the Distribution of People
Using social simulation, the lab showed the principle "Stay with Your Community": what is essential to the spread of infection is not the flow of people but their distribution, in particular "contact with people one does not know."
