Experimental Lab for Human-Centered AI

Knowledge, Creativity, and Artificial Minds.

iwai.ai explores learning systems, knowledge representation, creative media, and artificial agents 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.

Learning

Support understanding

Systems for annotated learning materials, simplified learning analytics, and learner-created maps of concepts and relations.

Knowledge

Represent and connect

Knowledge graphs, semantic sketches, reasoning support, and visual exploration of conceptual structures.

Creativity

Generate and resonate

Creative systems that transform words, images, colors, and musical tendencies into expressive media experiences.

Systems

A constellation of experimental systems for education, knowledge engineering, generative media, and agent-based assistance.

ARISA
Artificial reasoning companion

An interactive assistant concept for semantic support, reflection, and human-centered reasoning.

NOESIS
Lightweight knowledge graph management

A lightweight knowledge graph management system based on a simple triple-store architecture for knowledge representation, exploration, and human–AI knowledge creation.

SOPHIA
Rule-based reasoning

A lightweight reasoning layer for facts, rules, derived knowledge, and explainable inference.

LOGOSPHERE
Conceptual universe

A meta-framework for connecting systems, ideas, invocations, and creative knowledge spaces.

SiLA
Learning analytics

A simplified learning analytics environment for collecting, visualizing, and responding to student feedback.

ToMAS
Topic map aggregation

A system for aggregating and visualizing learner-created links between topics and concepts.

VISIA
Abstract visual expression

A generative visual system that maps vocabulary structures to color, shape, layout, and explanation.

MUSICA
Music and melody support

A family of tools for melody analysis, phrase generation, musical cards, and creative composition support.

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 Agents

Artificial agents that support thinking, care, decision making, explanation, and long-term creative collaboration.

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.”

About

iwai.ai is curated by Kenichi Iwai, an educator and researcher exploring the intersections of educational technology, knowledge engineering, creative systems, and artificial intelligence.

For academic profile, publications, and contact information, a personal website will be linked here in the future.
