Local LLMs Are All You Need
• Developed offline (Local) LLM using Python
• Adopted Japanese-specific LLM (Mistral & NVIDIA)
due to hardware constraints (CyberAgent model unusable)
• Hybrid system (Rule-based + LLM) developed
to compensate for standalone LLM limitations

AI Readiness Gaps: Skills & Education
• Shortage of AI-Literate Personnel
• Few pros can evaluate and utilize AI.
• Education:
Avoid blind dependence or distrust.
• Lack of Established Training Systems
• Rapid tech evolution outpaces
safety standards and guidelines.
• Urgent need to establish
a framework defining
who, what, and how to teach.

Neologisms from LLM Misreading
• LLMs generated non-existent words due to data reading errors,
and the phenomenon where this was cited in actual papers was confirmed.
• The non-existent term "vegetative electron microscopy" was accidentally
created5) by a layout error during digitization.
It was incorporated into AI training data and cited in subsequent papers6).
• Recognized as a new challenge for ensuring information
reliability as AI-assisted research and writing grows.

• In the arXiv paper shown here,
a message addressed to an LLM
was visible near the abstract in version 3,
although it was removed in the latest version, v4.
