Professor Shun-ichi Amari at the Kyoto Prize Award Ceremony Press Conference
Professor Shun-ichi Amari has been selected as the 2025 Kyoto Prize laureate in Advanced Technology (Information Science) for his pioneering contributions to establishing the theoretical foundations of artificial intelligence and for his achievements in establishing information geometry. This award marks exactly forty years since Claude Shannon —known as the ‘Father of Information Theory’ and an American electrical engineer and mathematician — received the 1st Kyoto Prize in 1985.
At the award ceremony held on Monday, November 10, 2025, at the Kyoto International Conference Center, Her Imperial Highness Princess Takamado graced the occasion, joined by ambassadors, consuls general, and numerous distinguished guests from Japan and abroad to celebrate the laureates’ achievements. Each laureate was presented with a diploma, the Kyoto Prize medal, and a monetary award of 100 million yen.
We extend our heartfelt congratulations to Professor Shun-ichi Amari on receiving the Kyoto Prize. Below is a list of his works — 30 references published in journals including a research survey article, along with selected book chapters — published by P站视频 over the past 50 years. These materials are available for free viewing and download until December 14, 2025.

List of Kyoto Prize Laureates in Mathematical Sciences (Basic Sciences) and Information Science (Advanced Technology)
The Kyoto Prize consists of three categories (Advanced Technology / Basic Sciences / Arts and Philosophy.), each of which has four prize fields. In each category, the turn to receive an award comes around only once per field, so every field is considered once in a four-year cycle.
Focusing only on the fields of Mathematical Sciences and Information Sciences, there have been exactly ten laureates in each field, as shown below.
