Mission: Discover the gradients, Towards the future
NABLAS Inc., a startup from the University of Tokyo, is an AI research institute. We offer a wide range of services, including human resource development, research and development, and consulting. Our company name, "NABLAS," comes from the mathematical symbol ∇ (nabla), which represents the gradient in the fundamental learning principle called "(stochastic) gradient descent."
This name reflects our stance to exploring the world as a single, super-multivariate space and creating technologies and services that help shape a better future. At a time when societal uncertainty is increasing and the future is becoming more challenging to predict, we are more committed than ever to our mission: "Discover the gradients, towards the future."
Vision: Be a good ancestor
As the global trend of pursuing short-term profits, “courageous long-term thinking” has become more important than ever.
AI technology is indeed powerful and which is why it could bring serious negative effects on our society if it is used selfishly or with
a short-term focus. Therefore, as a company working with AI, we believe it is crucial to leave a legacy that contributes to the future.
At NABLAS, our vision is to “Be a Good Ancestor,” and we are committed to working on initiatives that will bring true and lasting value to the future.
