Preface

Abstract

Society for Science on Form, Japan, was founded in March 1985. The Society has been aiming to establish an interdisciplinary science centering on the concept of “form” (KATACHI) beyond the framework of conventional science classified by the subject of research.

In recent years, artificial intelligence (AI) has made remarkable progress. Clearly, the Society for Science on Form should also aim to develop the interdisciplinary science using AI as a tool. This special issue contains four interesting papers that serve as examples. They include deep neural network (DNN) to classify 3D structures, which can be used in engineering in general, and the use of biological signals, which is becoming indispensable in modern mobile terminals and is expected to develop in the future.

We hope that these four papers will contribute to the future developments of the Society for Science on Form, Japan.
