AboutAbout the lab
Exploring the potential of data through probability and statistics
The Murata Lab conducts research that explores the potential of data using probability, statistics, and machine learning methods.
Drawing on rapidly advancing computer technology and enormous amounts of data, the lab seeks to uncover the essential nature of data.
The lab aims to turn these findings into insights that benefit society.
Key terms
- Machine learning
- A technology that lets computers themselves learn rules and patterns from large amounts of data.
- Probability distribution
- A representation, using formulas or graphs, of how likely an event is to occur.
- Cluster analysis
- An unsupervised machine learning method that divides similar data into groups.
