Presentation of the research by Masafumi Iwanaga at IEEE BigData 2024

Recipe data consists of a sequence of descriptions for each cooking step. As a result, the image for each step often contains ingredients that also appeared in previous steps. However, because recipes can include branching and merging steps, ingredients do not always…

Presentation by Hirotaka Nagashima at WWW Conference 2024
Hirotaka Nagashima from our group gave a presentation at The Web Conference 2024. The presentation was about identification of descriptions that indicate the “expiration time of information value.” For example, suppose a text includes phrases like those below. “Please submit application by 17:00 tomorrow. “Live streaming starting 19:00 tonight!” The informational value of such a text must largely decrease after the time described in these descriptions. Therefore, if we can…
