([fronteo.com](https://www.fronteo.com/news/pr/20251215?hsLang=ja)) The event will highlight how combining international input–output tables, firm‑level transaction networks and large language models can expose hidden dependencies and vulnerabilities in global value chains—an increasingly hot topic in economic‑security policy. ([fronteo.com](https://www.fronteo.com/news/pr/20251215?hsLang=ja)) Speakers include government‑linked economists and FRONTEO researchers who will discuss reinforcement‑learning‑style approaches and LLM applications for mapping critical suppliers and simulating shocks.
