Akinori Okada is a Professor Emeritus of Rikkyo University, and holds a Ph.D. in Engineering from Keio University. Okada obtained his undergraduate degree of engineering from Keio Universality in 1966. After studied at the graduate school of Keio Universality, he became a research assistant at Chiba University in 1971. He moved to the School of Social Relations of Rikkyo University in 1972, and was appointed a Professor in 1981. From 2007 to 2014, he was a Professor of Tama University. His research interests are the areas in dealing with asymmetric relationships by multidimensional scaling and cluster analysis. He published a book titled 'Methods for the Analysis of Asymmetric Proximity Data' with Giuseppe Bove and Donatella Vicari in 2021. He is a series editor of the book series 'Behaviormetrics: Quantitative Approaches to Human Behavior', a founding editor of the journal 'Advance in Data Analysis and Classification', and a coordinating editor of the journal 'Behaviormetrika'. Okada assumed the position of the president of the International Federation of Classification Societies: IFCS (2016-2017), the president of the Behaviormetric Society (2012-2015), and the president of the Japanese Classification Society: JCS (2005-2009). He is a Fellow Member of the Operations Research Society of Japan and the JCS. He launched the first International Meeting of Psychometric Society (IMPS) with Yutaka Kano, Jacqueline Meulman, Kazuo Shigemasu, and Haruo Yanai in 2000, and started the Japanese-German (German-Japanese) Symposium on Classification with Wolfgung Gaul, Hans Hermann Bock, and Keiji Yajima in 2005.

Kazuo Shigemasu is Professor Emeritus of the University of Tokyo and currently the visiting professor at Keio University. He earned his B.A. in Educational Psychology in 1968 from Tokyo University and his Ph.D. in 1974 in Psychometrics from University of Iowa. His specialization is psychometrics and data analysis in psychology. He hastaught Bayesian Statistics
