Integrated Intelligent Media Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that investigates whether AI truly understands the meaning of images and videos.

AboutAbout the lab
Does AI truly understand the meaning of videos and images?
The Integrated Intelligent Media Lab (Nakashima Lab) conducts research to clarify whether artificial intelligence truly understands the meaning of images and videos.
Believing that understanding the meaning of images and videos is deeply tied to their correspondence with natural language, the lab also works broadly on Vision and Language research that combines the two.
The lab also conducts applied research that makes advanced use of images and videos by leveraging large language models and similar tools.
Key terms
- Computer vision
- Technology and a research field in which computers read images and videos and understand their contents
- Vision and Language
- A research field that handles images and videos together with natural language
- Large language model
- An AI model that learns from large amounts of text and can understand and generate text

ResearchResearch themes
The lab's research centers on clarifying whether AI truly understands the meaning of images and videos. The research page introduces image and video generation, 3D reconstruction, applications to animals and plants, and AI bias.
Image and video generation and editing
The lab studies generating and editing images and videos using diffusion models and other methods. The field is already very actively researched, but the lab considers that there is still more to be done.
*Illustrative imageReconstructing 3D shape, structure, and appearance
The lab works on reconstructing the 3D shape, structure, and photorealistic appearance of target objects from images.
*Illustrative imageComputer vision for animals and plants
The lab studies computer vision technologies for animals and plants that are useful for smart agriculture, life sciences, and more.
*Illustrative imageAI bias and its mitigation
Neural networks sometimes achieve high accuracy on a target task by relying on superficial correlations, which leads to bias. The lab studies this bias and how to reduce it.
