The lab interprets language and voice through data and develops technologies for dialogue.
AboutAbout the lab
Research that designs the future
The Kikuchi Lab studies communication through language and voice based on data.
Its subjects are the language media that support human life, ranging from conversation and social media to conversational robots and dialogue interfaces.
The lab works on both language science and artificial intelligence, without being bound by the divide between the humanities and the sciences.
The lab also works on using virtual reality to support the training of communication skills.

*Illustrative imageExpressive Language and Voice
The lab clarifies what characteristics words and voices have and what impressions and effects they have on listeners. It deals with everyday conversation, emotional speech, and ways of speaking.
*Illustrative imageText-Based Communication
The lab takes up communication exchanged in writing, such as on social media and chat, and investigates how language functions there.
*Illustrative imageInteraction Between People and Artifacts
The lab studies the interaction that occurs between people and artifacts such as conversational robots and dialogue systems. This field is called human-agent interaction.
*Illustrative imageAI That Supports Dialogue
This research advances the technologies behind dialogue interfaces, using machine learning methods including deep learning.
