Yamana Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that researches technologies for making use of the data around us, such as big data and AI.
AboutAbout the lab
Putting the data around us to work for society.
Yamana Lab researches how to turn the abundant data around us, such as social media posts and images, into technologies that benefit society.
User-created content (UCC) is growing explosively, and there are high expectations for personalized services that make use of it.
The lab covers a wide range of areas, from high-speed data processing, mining algorithms, and user interfaces to the security needed when handling data.
It also researches ways to use data while protecting privacy, such as technology for computing on data while it remains encrypted.
Key terms
- UCC (User-Created Content)
- Information that individuals create and share themselves, such as social media posts
- Secure computation
- Technology that can compute on data while it remains encrypted, without seeing its contents
- Recommendation
- Technology that suggests products or information tailored to each user

ResearchResearch themes
We are surrounded by a wide variety of data, such as social media posts, images, and location data. Yamana Lab researches technologies for processing this data at high speed, as well as mining technologies for extracting useful information from it.
*Illustrative imageData Mining
Research on data processing and mining technologies, organized into three groups: big data, recommendation, and trustworthiness.
*Illustrative imageIntelligent User Interfaces
Research on interfaces that connect people and data, including handwriting-based computing, image processing, and interfaces for information retrieval and recommendation.
*Illustrative imageSecure Computation and Cryptographic Application Technologies
Work on cryptographic application technologies, such as secure computation that computes on data while it remains encrypted, and on making them faster. This research aims to use data while protecting privacy.
