Data Generation Engineering Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that simulates human behavior using a digital twin of real society.
AboutAbout the lab
From a “Future by Chance” to a “Dreamed-of Future”
The Data Generation Engineering Lab (Murata Lab) develops real-scale social simulation technology, which models a virtual version of real society that includes human elements.
Within a digital twin of real society built in cyberspace, the lab simulates people's decision-making, such as their movement and purchasing behavior.
The lab's website says it works on developing the component technologies needed to realize real-world-scale simulations safely.
The lab advances research on data generation in the fields of social simulation and drug discovery.
Key terms
- Real-Scale Social Simulation
- Technology for simulating a virtual version of real society, including human elements, at real-world scale
- Digital Twin
- A replica of real society built in cyberspace. Individuals' decisions on movement and purchasing behavior are run within it to study them
- Synthetic Population Data
- Population data created from statistics. It is used in real-scale social simulation and similar applications
