Cache AIWorld's first ultra-lightweight, ultra-fast, ultra-inexpensive AI

To make Artificial Intelligence(AI) practical, a processing speed close to humans is required. Therefore, AI chips with a processing speed about 30 times faster than GPUs and CPUs are required. But ... too expensive! Cache AI is an excellent AI that runs on small devices without expensive GPUs or AI chips. Cache AI significantly reduces the operating cost of AI. It is an AI that can be installed in small smart terminals such as smartphones and smartwatches.

Our Project

Kyoto Pharmacy Project

In the good old days of the Showa era, when you had a stomach ache, it was common to consult a pharmacist at a nearby pharmacy and get medicine. It was a pharmacy that doubled as Health care room.

Currently, pharmacies in front of hospitals and drugstores are the mainstream. The pharmacists are busy with dispensing work, and out of consideration for the patient's waiting time, it seems that they are doing their best to convey the minimum necessary information. We feel like we want to reduce the work of the pharmacist.

In Kyoto, there are many pharmacies that are 40 or 90 years old, and still have the goodness of the town pharmacies. Such pharmacies are in a period of change, with succession problems, financial difficulties due to intensifying competition, the spread of the coronavirus, and the needs of online pharmacies.

As a patient, I want a convenient system and an online purchase system, but on the other hand, I sincerely hope that the goodness of the old-fashioned town pharmacy will be preserved, and I want to reduce the burden on pharmacists with a convenient system. It's been three years since I started the "Kyoto Pharmacy Project".

We are tackling the difficult problem of "blending digitalization and face-to-face goodness".

SmallTrain Open Source ProjectThe project adopted for Kyoto Economic Gardening Program

Our self-developed AI engine "SmallTrain" has been released as an open source project.

SmallTrain is a deep learning framework for AI development, and it's a pre-trained model on all kinds of datasets. You can develop an AI for 1/10th the price in just a few weeks.

  • SmallLess data with less developing cost
  • TrainTrain of machine learning

SmallTrain AI-OCR

OCR stands for Optical Character Recognition/Reader. A technology that reads handwritten or printed characters with a scanner or digital camera and converts them into digital character codes for computers. AI-OCR is an OCR technology that utilizes AI technology. It is sometimes called ICR (Intelligent Character Recognition) overseas. Machine learning and deep learning are used to learn the results of character corrections, improving the character recognition rate.

In order to use AI-OCR in the office scene, it is necessary to ensure sufficient recognition accuracy and recognition speed. In general, you should use expensive GPU servers. However, if the processing cost (server cost) of 100 yen or more is required to recognize one document, it is not worth it. Our AI-OCR is capable of high-speed processing with a character recognition accuracy of 90% or higher, making it the optimal AI-OCR for actual operation at a unit price of 10 yen or less per page. We are working on research and development to lower the unit price per sheet.

Our AI-OCR is used in pharmaceuticals. It is used for highly accurate prescription recognition AI-OCR and pharmaceutical audit applications that can handle various prescription formats.
We provide AI-OCR API service. Please see our serivce page.

Research and Development of Basic AI Technology to minimize "the use of large amounts of data"
and "computing power"

SmallTrain does not need "the large amounts of data"

  1. No need to build environment
  2. No code (may require a few lines in the input layer)
  3. Just perform a simple transfer learning

AI Model Compression Techniques

A deep learning AI model has a hierarchical structure of about 100 layers of neural networks. By reducing the hierarchy, AI can be faster and lighter, delivering results without the GPUs traditionally required.Miniaturized AI can be used on smartphones, which are less powerful devices.

A high-spec server is required to develop and operate a deep learning AI model, and the cost of the server accounts for more than half of the cost of commercialization. Due to the miniaturization of AI, the cost of product services can be lowered, and the price of product services can be lowered.

In order to provide high-quality AI products and services at an affordable price, we researched and developed AI miniaturization technology and succeeded in reducing the size to about 1/10.
