AboutAbout the lab
Designing and applying AI through optimization and machine learning
The Harada Lab studies the design and application of artificial intelligence algorithms from two sides: optimization and machine learning.
In optimization, it works with algorithms based on evolutionary computation, which imitates the evolution and behavior of living organisms, including genetic algorithms and particle swarm optimization.
In machine learning, it targets a wide range of models, including deep learning and reinforcement learning.
Its main application areas are healthcare and social systems.
Key terms
- Evolutionary computation
- Evolutionary computation: a framework that imitates the evolution and behavior of living organisms. It includes genetic algorithms and particle swarm optimization.
- Optimization
- Optimization: finding optimal solutions to problems and using them for useful planning and design.
- Agent
- Agent: something equipped with machine learning capabilities. It is applied to concrete systems, and its characteristics are analyzed and controlled through simulation.
