Sho Okazaki

Researcher in Causal and Neuro-Symbolic AI for Intelligent Asset Management

I am a researcher developing AI methods for understanding, predicting, and managing failures in complex cyber-physical systems. My research integrates neuro-symbolic AI, causal reasoning, machine learning, and multimodal sensing to support anomaly detection, root-cause analysis, risk assessment, and maintenance decision-making. Working across domains including manufacturing systems and railway infrastructure, I aim to bridge data-driven intelligence and engineering knowledge to improve the resilience, reliability, and sustainability of critical assets.
