AboutAbout the lab
Creating the future with intelligent systems that assist people
The Katashi Lab studies intelligent systems that assist people, using natural language processing, robotics, and other technologies.
It also studies information technology that makes real-world activities such as meetings more efficient, including search and summarization that use information attached to content.
On an introductory page written about ten years after the lab was founded, the lab says it values students taking part in research of their own will and deciding their themes through thorough discussion.
The same page says the lab also makes a point of going beyond simply presenting papers in the lab seminar, and of discussing at length what students have thought about their own themes.
Key terms
- Natural language processing
- Technology that enables computers to understand and generate the language humans use. Examples include automatic summarization and spoken dialogue systems.
- Augmented reality
- A mechanism that integrates information content into real objects and environments. Also called AR.
- Annotation
- Meta-information that describes the content of material such as videos and web documents, attached to that material.
- Building-scale VR
- Technology that converts the entire indoor space of a real building into a virtual space, so that everyday environments can be extended and used.
ResearchResearch themes
The Katashi Lab studies intelligent systems that assist people, using natural language processing, robotics, and other technologies. Research is carried out project by project, and covers VR and AR, personal mobility vehicles, meeting records, and search and summarization of web content.
*Illustrative imageVirtual and Augmented Reality Research
The lab studies building-scale VR, which uses VR and AR technologies to convert the entire indoor space of a real building into a virtual space. For example, various disaster situations can be generated inside a building for emergency training, and the lab also studies applications to education, such as remote lectures.
*Illustrative imagePersonal Intelligent Mobility
The lab researches and develops the foundations and applied technologies, including the surrounding environment, for personal intelligent mobility vehicles as a means of getting around in barrier-free urban living environments. It also aims to build foundations that link physical objects with information, and to support social activities among riders.
*Illustrative imageDiscussion Mining
The aim is to semi-automatically create semantically structured meeting minutes that include audio and video, and to use them for knowledge discovery.
*Illustrative imageContent Annotation
The lab studies authoring support systems that attach meta-information (annotations) to web content, including multimedia. It also studies search, summarization, and reuse of content using the attached information.
