The 27th In Silico Megabank Research Seminar will be held on Friday, April 26.
This Time, we will be welcoming Mr. Katsumi Takahashi, NTT Secure Platform Laboratories as our lecturer, and he will be speaking on “Trend of Privacy Protection Data Mining Technology and its Application to Medical Statistics.”

Privacy Protection Data Mining is a secret calculation technology that conducts data analysis keeping data secret. When analyzing highly confidential data, the analysis can be done without revealing data. NTT Secure Platform Laboratories has demonstrated the secret calculation technology developed with an aim to safely and securely utilize data that need to be handled under strictly controlled conditions including clinical research data for the first time in the world in collaboration with Japan Adult Leukemia Study Group (JALSG). This accomplishment has enabled the statistical analysis with research data being coded, and the performance of which achieved a speed that meets the demand for the practical application.

・Date/Time: April 26(Fri.) 17:00‐19:00
・Venue: Conference Room 1(2nd Floor), Tohoku Medical Megabank Organization http://www.megabank.tohoku.ac.jp/english/info/access.html
・Title: Trend of Privacy Protection Data Mining Technology and its Application to Medical Statistics
・Lecturer: Katsumi Takahashi (NTT Secure Platform Laboratories)

・Abstract: In this study we will overview the technology to conduct information processing of sensitive data as well as Privacy Protection Data Mining (PPDM) and introduce a research under study in NTT currently. Processing technology taking care of privacy of data is required when utilizing sensitive data. PPDM is the generic name for all these technologies, chief among of them being anonymization and coding. We will give an explanation of these trends and illustrate the applications into medical statistics (secret calculation) that are conducted as a collaborative study by NTT Laboratories.
