Natural Language Processing Lab
Machine-translated · View original
The lab studies natural language processing, which makes computers handle human language.
AboutAbout the lab
Exploring AI that handles language through large language models.
The Natural Language Processing Lab studies how to make computers handle human language using artificial intelligence technology.
Examples of its research include machine translation, automatic aggregation of free-response survey answers, and generation of game AI and quizzes, using large language models and deep learning.
Research themes are narrowed down after students join the lab, in consultation about their interests, mainly from the topics the lab presents.
The lab accepts fourth-year students of the College of Engineering Systems for graduation research; to join from graduate school, applicants must pass the entrance exams of programs such as the Degree Program in Intelligent and Mechanical Interaction Systems.
Key terms
- Natural language processing
- The field of technology for handling human language with computers. It includes machine translation, search engines, and question answering
- Large language model
- A large-scale model that handles language, including ChatGPT. Its performance is drawn out by devising how detailed instructions are given
