Japan developed robots to know Todai university math problems

Japanese scientists have just announced a breakthrough in the field of research when they release a robot that can solve math problems that can pass the prestigious entrance exam of Tokyo University (Todai).

This robot belongs to the "artificial brain" project , also known as ' Can robots pass the Tokyo University entrance exam?' (Todai robot) conducted by Fujitsu Laboratory (Fujitsu Lab) and Japan Institute of Technology (NII).

Fujitsu Lab said that its robots have taken part in a survey conducted by Yoyogi Institute of Advanced Education, a leading Japanese university preparatory school.

In the project, Fujitsu Lab conducted joint research and participated as core members of the math team. The project is under the direction of Professor Noriko Arai of NII.

The project has been implemented since 2011 with the goal of creating an artificial brain capable of scoring high scores in the university entrance examination organized by the National Center for University Admissions (Center Test) in in 2016, thereby meeting the necessary requirements to be able to enroll at Tokyo University in 2021.

Based on the results obtained, this year the project decided to participate in the competition organized by Yoyogi. The math team in charge of the exam content can be found on the Center Test (Tokyo Mathematics, IIB Math) and the University of Tokyo pre-examination tests for humanities and science sciences. Of course.

Concerning the language processing activities in exam questions, people are interfered to a certain extent. As a result, Todai Robot's artificial brain automatically handled 2/4 Tokyo University math exam questions for candidates of humanities, 2/6 math exam questions for science candidates. nature.

Summarized in all the tests that Todai Robot performed (including math), the results showed that it showed a deviation of approximately 60.

The new trial aims to evaluate the process of artificial brain research, to determine the technical issues that need to be handled through future research and development activities.

Tokyo Shoseki and JC Educational Institute provided problems related to mathematics, as part of mathematical research activities for the Todai Robot project.

The purpose of the Fujitsu Lab to pursue this project is to develop the necessary technologies, thereby realizing Fujitsu's vision of intelligent society with people at the center.

The goal is to help computing technology become stronger, to solve many mathematical problems accurately, such as mathematical analysis and optimization technology. A more powerful computing technology also helps automate high-level mathematical analysis, serving to handle real-life problems.
