The lab studies evolutionary computation, in which a system finds answers through trial and error.
AboutAbout the lab
Toward computers that can invent and discover like humans.
The Shunsuke Ono Lab studies evolutionary computation, a form of artificial intelligence based on the principles of evolution.
The lab aims to create artificial intelligence that, given only a problem and no instructions on how to solve it, can find excellent design solutions and models through its own trial and error.
In its basic research, the lab develops evolutionary computation algorithms for numerical optimization, combinatorial optimization, and multi-objective optimization.
The lab also conducts applied research, using the algorithms it develops on design and modeling problems.
Key terms
- Evolutionary computation
- A computational approach that imitates the mechanisms of biological evolution to move gradually toward better solutions
- Genetic algorithm
- A representative evolutionary computation method that searches for good solutions by recombining and mutating candidate solutions
- Combinatorial optimization
- The problem of selecting the best option from among combinations of arrangements or selections

To realize on computers the most advanced human intellectual work, such as invention and discovery, the lab aims to build powerful search engines. It pursues both basic research developing new genetic algorithms and research applying them to a variety of real-world problems.
Developing new genetic algorithms
The lab develops new genetic algorithms to solve function optimization problems with complex landscapes and combinatorial optimization problems. It also develops PC cluster and grid technologies for running genetic algorithms at high speed.
*Illustrative imageApplication to real-world problems
To demonstrate the usefulness of the algorithms it develops, the lab applies them to a variety of real-world problems. These include lens system design, three-dimensional protein structure analysis by NMR, inference of gene interaction networks, and the design of futures market systems.
