Hishiyama Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that designs information network spaces where people and computers coexist.
AboutAbout the lab
Designing spaces where people and computers coexist.
The Hishiyama Lab studies how to understand the interactions among people, computers, and agents.
Its central theme is to capture the structure of knowledge communities through empirical approaches and to redesign how people and machines relate to each other.
The lab places importance on connections with theories from the social sciences and management science, and approaches understanding through actually observed data and simulations.
In the course of this work, the lab uses computer science techniques to develop research systems that serve as new tools for analysis.
Key terms
- Agent
- An autonomous computer program that makes decisions or carries out tasks on behalf of a person
- Participatory simulation
- A simulated experiment in which people actually take part and operate it, so that the responses of both people and machines can be observed together
- Knowledge community
- A group of people who carry out activities while exchanging knowledge and information, including organizations, local communities, and groups on networks
ResearchResearch themes
The Hishiyama Lab studies participatory simulations that capture people's living and activity spaces across time and space, and mechanisms that lead to problem solving using information from environments where people and things are connected. Drawing on theories from psychology and sociology, the lab also analyzes phenomena through gaming simulation.
*Illustrative imageGuiding people to latent tourism and cultural resources
Cities and regions have scattered spots that receive little attention but are well worth visiting. The lab aims to clarify effective ways to guide people to them, and to apply the findings to the design of local exploration, town walks, and experiential learning.
*Illustrative imageSmart environments for mental health
The lab aims to find people showing early signs of declining mental health at an early stage and to reduce the risk of their condition becoming severe. It extracts models of the situations that signal the onset of problems, and proposes minimal mechanisms for obtaining clues.
MembersFaculty
The members of the Hishiyama Lab consist of faculty, secretaries, and doctoral, master's, and undergraduate students.
