Support understanding
Systems for annotated learning materials, simplified learning analytics, and learner-created maps of concepts and relations.
Experimental Lab for Human-Centered AI
Knowledge, Creativity, and Artificial Minds.
iwai.ai explores the intersection of knowledge, creativity, and artificial minds — designing human-centered systems that help people think, learn, create, and flourish.
A small universe for knowledge and creation.
The projects gathered here are not only tools. They are attempts to design environments where knowledge can be structured, learning can be supported, creativity can be amplified, and artificial intelligence can become a thoughtful companion rather than a mere mechanism.
Represent and connect
Knowledge graphs, semantic sketches, reasoning support, and visual exploration of conceptual structures.
Generate and resonate
Creative systems that transform words, images, colors, and musical tendencies into expressive media experiences.
Systems
A focused collection of public-facing and presentation-ready systems for education, knowledge engineering, visualization, and creative media.
SiLA
A lightweight learning analytics environment for collecting, visualizing, and responding to student feedback in everyday classes.
AETM
A design approach for teaching materials that support understanding through carefully structured explanations, annotations, and learning cues.
NOESIS
A visual environment for exploring concepts, resources, and relations through semantic networks and knowledge structures.
ToMAS
A system for aggregating and visualizing learner-created links between topics, concepts, and relations in educational activities.
VISIA Abstract
A generative visual system that maps vocabulary structures to color, shape, composition, and explainable abstract expression.
MUSCAT Re:Bloom
A creative media system that transforms photographic color features into ambient music, abstract visuals, and calm exhibition experiences.
Research Themes
Educational Technology
Annotated materials, classroom feedback, learner reflection, concept mapping, and practical systems for teaching and learning.
Knowledge Engineering
Knowledge graphs, semantic relations, lightweight reasoning, case-based thinking, and tools that make conceptual structures visible.
Creative AI
Generative media systems for visual expression, environmental music, melody exploration, and interactive creative experiences.
Human-Centered AI
Design principles for systems that support thinking, learning, explanation, creativity, and long-term human development.
Demos and Notes
Public demos, project notes, papers, and presentations will be added gradually. This site begins as a quiet gateway and will grow as the systems mature.
Live Demos
Interactive prototypes and browser-based systems will be linked here.
Project Notes
Short design notes, concepts, and development logs for ongoing systems.
Publications
Selected papers, presentations, and academic outputs related to the systems.
“To enrich oneself, to enrich others, and to let knowledge bloom between human minds and artificial minds.”
