Founding Philosophy of Magellan Technology Research Institute K.K.

In an era of rapidly evolving technology, Magellan Technology Research Institute K.K. was established on a profound belief: that the true value of technology lies not merely in improving efficiency or productivity but in advancing human well-being and fostering harmony and goodwill in society. Rooted in the spirit of Eastern philosophy, the Institute draws inspiration from the teachings of Japanese management thinker Kazuo Inamori—particularly his principles of “Respect for Heaven and Love for People” and the “Altruistic Heart”—as well as from Laozi’s Tao Te Ching, with its wisdom of “following the way of nature” and “effortless action.” The Institute serves not only as a center for innovation but as a space to explore how technology can become a force for good, enabling a more ethical and humane coexistence between people and progress.

Magellan Technology Research Institute K.K. believes that technology and ethics are not in opposition but are inherently interconnected. Guided by human-centered values and an altruistic spirit, the Institute places its public-interest mission at the heart of its structure. Rather than focusing solely on commercial outcomes, the Institute chooses a path that harmonizes application with meaning and innovation with social responsibility. Its research spans areas such as legal technology, education evaluation, science and technology policy, and business process innovation—all grounded in empirical rigor, ethical awareness, and humanistic care.

“As the highest goodness is like water, benefiting all things and contending with none,” wrote Laozi. This spirit of quiet strength and selfless service is precisely what Magellan Technology Research Institute K.K. aspires to embody. In every research initiative and applied project, the Institute not only pursues outcomes but also considers the understanding, respect, and harmony those outcomes bring to society. When technology is rooted in such belief, it becomes more than a tool for efficiency—it becomes a lasting and gentle energy that nourishes both the world and the human spirit. With Eastern wisdom as its guide and a vision for future society at its core, the Institute continues to explore new possibilities where technology and values live and grow together in balance.

Our Goal

Publishing Groundbreaking Researches

Our goal is to publish our research at four major international conferences: ICML, ICLR, NeurIPS, and EMNLP.

Below is a brief explanation of each conference:

  • ICML (International Conference on Machine Learning):
    • Recognized as one of the most prestigious venues for machine learning research, ICML covers a wide range of topics from supervised and unsupervised learning to reinforcement learning. Its rigorous review process ensures that only the most impactful and innovative work is presented.
  • ICLR (International Conference on Learning Representations):
    • ICLR focuses on advancements in representation learning and deep learning. It encourages innovative approaches that improve our understanding of how models learn and represent complex data, often pushing the boundaries of current AI capabilities.
  • NeurIPS (Conference on Neural Information Processing Systems):
    • Formerly known as NIPS, NeurIPS is a premier conference that brings together research in neural computation, machine learning, and related fields. Its interdisciplinary nature spans topics from cognitive science to optimization, making it a hub for cutting-edge discoveries.
  • EMNLP (Conference on Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing):
    • EMNLP is the leading conference dedicated to natural language processing. It emphasizes empirical approaches in computational linguistics and the practical application of NLP techniques to solve real-world challenges.
