AboutAbout the lab
Learning from the intelligence of living things to explore new algorithms
The Sato Lab studies computer algorithms related to computational intelligence.
Inspired by the mechanisms of intelligence that living organisms have acquired through evolution and learning, the lab works on evolutionary computation and on computational models based on how humans process information and learn.
Starting from a deep understanding of the principles behind algorithms and improving them, the lab explores algorithms that create value not seen before.
The lab also advances applications to real-world problems.
Key terms
- Evolutionary computation
- Computer algorithms that imitate heredity and evolution in living organisms
- Neocortex
- The part of the brain that governs advanced brain functions. This lab studies algorithms that imitate its workings
- Hierarchical Temporal Memory
- The name under which the lab website's top page lists the item on algorithms that imitate the neocortex
