Do Railway Commuters Exhibit Consistent Route Choice Rationality Across Different Contexts and Time? Evidence from Tokyo metropolitan Commutes
Recent advances in data collection and technology enable a deeper understanding of complex urban commuting, yet few studies have rigorously analyzed the temporal stability and Origin-Destination (OD) heterogeneity of route choice. To address this, we analyze one year of smartphone position data from over one million users in the Tokyo metropolitan area to extract high-resolution commuting trajectories. Our methodology is twofold: First, we develop algorithms to process raw position data, accura…

For railway enthusiasts and ruin hunters alike,
these so-called "phantom stations" that have ceased service
offer a glimpse into Tokyo’s past.
Hidden from daily view and often closed to the public, they mark moments of transition in the capital’s transit history
— from the early years of railway and subway construction to the rapid postwar rebuild.
More than curiosities, they stand as weathered industrial records of how Tokyo has expanded, reconfigur…

Inside Tokyo's 'phantom' stations — and the stories they tell
A sealed 1930s subway platform beneath Shimbashi Station still holds traces of what the capital looked like before the war.

GRNND: A GPU-Parallel Relative NN-Descent Algorithm for Efficient Approximate Nearest Neighbor Graph Construction
Relative Nearest Neighbor Descent (RNN-Descent) is a state-of-the-art algorithm for constructing sparse approximate nearest neighbor (ANN) graphs by combining the iterative refinement of NN-Descent with the edge-pruning rules of the Relative Neighborhood Graph (RNG). It has demonstrated strong effectiveness in large-scale search tasks such as information retrieval and related tasks.

Two years ago, I was in South Korea—definitely the highlight of that year. The food was amazing, the winter vibes were perfect, and everything was so affordable.
But for a long time, I’d had Japan on my list. I’ve been checking plane tickets now and then, only to watch the prices climb higher by the minute. Even though flying to Tokyo is just an hour or two longer than flying to Seoul, it’s nearly twice as expensive. So, I decided to go back to South Korea instead.

In this paper we present our results on the decay of 64Se.

The beta decays of 64Se and its descendants were studied at the RIKEN Nishina Center (Tokyo, Japan) following their production in the fragmentation of 78Kr on a beryllium target. Beta-delayed gamma-ray and particle radiation was identified for each of the nuclei in the decay chain …
