[Speaker] Ministry of Defense, Maintenance Planning Bureau, Cyber Maintenance Division, Director Shinpei Ara [Key Lecture Content] From peacetime to emergencies, information and communication infrastructure is the foundation for both the lives of citizens and the activities of the Self-Defense Forces. The Ministry of Defense and the Self-Defense Forces are advancing the construction of a "New Defense Information and Communication Infrastructure (tentative name)" utilizing next-generation information and communication technologies, based on the "Ministry of Defense Next-Generation Information and Communication Strategy," to respond to "new ways of fighting" backed by advanced technologies. Additionally, ensuring cybersecurity for this information and communication infrastructure is essential for the activities of the Self-Defense Forces. The Ministry of Defense and the Self-Defense Forces are working to improve their own cybersecurity while also contributing to the overall strengthening of the country's cybersecurity. In this lecture, I will explain the outline of these initiatives and the direction for the future. [Lecture Items] 1. Security Environment (New Ways of Fighting) 2. Information and Communication 3. Cyber 4. Q&A / Business Card Exchange *The program may change according to the latest situation.

Our company will be exhibiting at the "39th Okinawa Prefectural Pharmacists Association Academic Conference." We sincerely look forward to your visit.

This session is aimed at engineers in the manufacturing industry, focusing on data utilization, and will explain practical approaches to factor exploration and predictive model building using JMP products. Analysis does not yield optimal results in one go; it is important to enhance accuracy through repeated trial and error in data preparation and model building. In particular, the quality of data preparation, such as preprocessing and feature creation, significantly influences the results, and JMP allows for efficient progress while visualizing the process. Using publicly available data for model building, we will introduce a series of processes from preparation, including visualization, preprocessing, and feature creation, to factor exploration through correlation and regression analysis, predictive model building (such as neural networks and random forests), and extraction of important factors, all through trial and error. Program: 1) What to do before the model: Key points of data preparation and trial & error using JMP 2) How to proceed with factor exploration and predictive model building without making it a black box ▼Details & Registration https://www.jmp.com/ja/events/live-webinars/non-series/2026/12-15-factor-exploration
