02 Jun 2017 Job Opportunity: Cogent Labs
We are Cogent Labs (cogent.co.jp), a Tokyo based artificial intelligence startup company. Cogent Labs bridges the gap between newly published academic research and real-world business solutions by leveraging expertise across many domains, including time series forecasting, information extraction, natural language and speech processing, image classification, and reinforcement learning.
Our mission is to create accessible and intuitive AI solutions which solve real problems. Exploring and implementing new academic research is only one piece of the equation - it is critical to understand the actual needs and potential for AI in the consumer and enterprise market, and to develop scalable application infrastructure to transform that research into tools for everyday use.
Having recently raised our Series A (https://s3-ap-northeast-1.amazonaws.com/cogentlab/CogentLabs_PressReleaseNews_20170228.pdf) we are aiming to double our team from currently 25 to about 50 people within the next year and are looking for skilled researchers to join our team. The official job description and link to apply can be found here: https://cogentlabs.breezy.hr/p/c1d2371b679a
Currently our research team consists of a wide mix of people from physics, statistics, neuroscience and deep learning, and we are also planning to keep hiring people from a broad range of backgrounds. So while experience with AI and deep learning is definitely a plus, it’s absolutely not necessary.
The working environment is very casual and extremely international (more than 10 different nationalities), and our office is in a great location in Daikanyama (just one stop from Shibuya).

17 Mar 2015 Recent academic accomplishments posted by Dr. Basil Athanasiadis
In collaboration with the Greek-Japanese Association and under the auspices of the Embassy of Japan in Greece, organised two music performances in Greece with the title ‘Antitheseis - Voices’.
The performances took place on 6 and 10 December 2014, at the Parnassos Concert Hall (Athens) and Thessaloniki Concert Hall (Thessaloniki)
The ensemble Shonorities presented works for female voice, violin and piano by Japanese, British and Greek composers: Jo Kondo, Sadao Bekku, Aya Okajima*, Jonathan Harvey, George Leotsakos, Emilios Riadis and Basil Athanasiadis*. (*world premier)
The programme featured a wide variety of musical styles. The contrasts in music colours, language, intensity and instrumental combinations, allude to certain aspects of oriental aesthetics, reminiscent of the imagery of a Japanese garden amidst the snow of winter
