Editor's Note (Toru Nakagawa, Dec. 28, 2018)

This page shows the presentation slides of the Keynote Lecture presented by Dr. Valeri Tsourikov 4 years ago at the TRIZfest2014 Conference held by MATRIZ.  Proceedings of the conference was openly published in MATRIZ web site soon after the conference, but it does not include Keynote lectures.   I eagerly wanted to learn about Dr. Tsourikov's Keynote lecture and asked him for his file of presentation slides.  He replied me that he would provide the file after revising/omitting some slides in relation to his company's secrecy; but four years have passed.   At ETRIA TFC2018, Dr. Tsourikov gave a Keynote Lecture "Creative A.I. as an Equal Partner of Inventors", with surprising contents.   He talked me "I have not forgotten my promise with you", and in a week he kindly sent me files of his two Keynote Lectures, given at TRIZfest2014 and TFC2018, as his contributions to "TRIZ Home Page in Japan".  I have chosen to post here his slides of TRIZfest2014 (rather than TFC2018) because the former is more basic and easier for us to understand the author's much advanced thoughts.

Dr. Tsourikov's profile is introduuced in his second slide shown below.   In mid 1980s he raised 'Invention Machine Project' in Minsk, Belarus, for installing TRIZ' knowledge bases and tools into PC software.   At the beginning of 1990s, he and his group (i.e., Invention Machine Inc.) moved to Boston and completed the software in the name of TechOptimizer. In the latter half of 1990s, it played the predominant role in the proliferation of TRIZ into USA, Europe, Japan, etc.   His specialty is Artificial Intelligence (AI). He has developed semantic analysis methods of natural language on the basis of SVO (or SAO) structures, and implemented it in the software to analyze huge information of patent databases and scientific/technical documents and to accumulate such information in structred and ready-to-use knowledge bases.  He also developed a prototype software 'IM Phenomenon' as an extension of TechOptimizer, which demonstrates his original idea of 'software which supports inventing'.  However, in 2001, we were surprised with a news that Dr. Tsourikov left IMC.   We heard that there were some conflicts in the choice of future directions and that Dr. Tsourikov left IMC under the condition of his not using the contents he developed in IMC.

Since then till 2014, Dr. Tsourikov had never appeared publicly in the TRIZ community.  Thus we were much interested in his Keynote presentation in TRIZfest 2014 at Prague; but I learned his talk only at TFC2018.  In inviting Dr. Tsourikov to the stage for his Keynote Lecture, Professor Denis Cavallucci, the program chairperson of TFC2018, mentioned briefly such an background history and welcome him back in the TRIZ community. The audience apploaded heartily.

In the two Keynote Lectures, Dr. Tsourikov states the ability of AI is going to superceed that of human brains, necessarily/inevitablly, to a much higher level soon.   Not only in practical/ordinary/formalizable areas but also in creative/inventive areas, AI methods are now developed at the level superceeding the human brains, he says. "As the results of my research for these 20 years, I have already developed such a prototype", he says.  His thoughts and methods may be easier for you to follow with the Keynote in 2014 rather than the one in 2018, I suppose.  Anyway please read the slides of his TRIZfest2014 Keynote shown below.

Note: Some introductory articles written by Nakagawa in this Web site (mostly in Japanese):
History of TRIZ promotion in early days in Russia (Feb. 2006), in USA and Europe (Mar. 2006), and in Japan and Korea (Apr. 2006).
Dr. Tsourikov's approaches: In the structure and usage of TechOptimizer (Nov. 1998) (Feb. 1999), and in the 'IM Phenomena' (Dec. 1998)
