Furuzuki Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab applying computational intelligence inspired by the brain and evolution to prediction and optimization.

AboutAbout the lab
Computation learned from living things, to predict and discriminate.
The Furuzuki Lab studies computational intelligence, which imitates the mechanisms of living things, and its applications.
It works with neural networks, fuzzy systems, genetic algorithms, and more, and in recent years has put particular effort into deep learning.
Its central interest is how to apply these techniques to tasks such as prediction, classification, clustering, and optimization.
Applications are wide-ranging, including pattern recognition, system identification and control, data mining, and financial analysis.
Key terms
- Computational intelligence
- A general term for techniques that imitate the mechanisms of living things, such as neural networks, fuzzy systems, and genetic algorithms
- Genetic algorithm
- A computational method that imitates biological evolution, searching for good solutions by selecting and recombining candidates
- System identification
- Building a mathematical model that describes the behavior of a target system from observed data
ResearchResearch themes
The Furuzuki Lab studies computational intelligence techniques such as neural networks, fuzzy systems, and genetic algorithms from an application standpoint. It aims to create new methods suited to each target field, based on information extracted automatically from that field.
*Illustrative imageQuasi-linear ARX neural networks
This is a model that represents a nonlinear system as a black box. Because it can also be identified in a form that is linear in the input, it can be designed in the same way as a linear controller. The lab studies modeling, parameter estimation, and control system design.
*Illustrative imageClassification with quasi-linear SVMs
This is a classifier that uses a kernel adapted to the data. It is built in two stages: first, local linear models are connected to roughly approximate the decision boundary, and then this rough model is optimized within the SVM framework.
*Illustrative imageHuman keypoint detection
This research aims to find the positions of all visible skeletal points, such as human joints, from a single image. It requires dense prediction that makes a decision for every pixel, and the lab is developing neural network architectures suited to this task.
