The Human-Computer Interaction Lab studies the design of interaction between people and computers. Its work includes research on conversational robots, xR research covering VR, AR, and MR, and the development of user interfaces that apply artificial intelligence. The lab's scope is broad, extending to user experience design and interaction design, both essential to building products. Students can set their own research topics with freedom, or work on themes the lab has been pursuing.

The Large-Scale Knowledge Processing Lab studies foundational technologies for handling large-scale data at extremely high speed, based on cutting-edge algorithm theory. At the base of information science lies mathematical theory, and above it lie practical techniques for solving individual problems. The lab's goal is to build a general-purpose technological foundation that connects these two layers. For this reason, the lab values not only conceptual and theoretical results but also implementing algorithms that hold up in practical use. While pursuing fundamental principles, the lab also sharpens its members' craft as engineers, aiming to solve real-world problems with solid grounding.

The Knowledge Base Lab studies methods for finding useful knowledge and information in vast amounts of data. It also aims to combine the extracted information with existing knowledge, organize and systematize it, and turn it into knowledge that can be used again and again. The lab approaches this process of discovering, organizing, and reusing knowledge from the viewpoint of information similarity and abstraction, and studies it through both theory and experiments. It also works on ways to link the results of machine learning, such as deep learning, with existing knowledge, and to solve problems in collaboration with people.

The Information Knowledge Network Lab studies algorithms and artificial intelligence, with knowledge discovery and information retrieval as its themes. Based on algorithms, the lab tackles head-on the ultra-fast processing of large-scale, unstructured spatiotemporal data from the real world. Its core is basic research on discrete algorithms, and it also covers applications to artificial intelligence and big data. The lab suits people who enjoy thinking about mathematics and how systems work, and people who like writing programs are also welcome.

The Algorithms Lab studies algorithms in machine learning and data mining from both theoretical and applied perspectives. On the theory side, it covers online learning, in which the next action is decided while receiving the results of past actions, and active learning, which reaches an answer with few queries. On the applied side, it works on learning from information obtained on the Web, learners that run on limited hardware, and applications to biology and medicine. The lab aims to formulate real-world problems and build algorithms with performance guarantees.

The Mathematical Informatics Lab uses mathematics as a tool to study a variety of phenomena from an information perspective. It treats image and audio or acoustic signals as functions and analyzes them using Hilbert space theory and operator theory. It also studies fuzzy theory and many-valued logic, which bring the subjective vagueness that people have into information processing. There is also research that expresses biological phenomena with mathematical models and analyzes them, so the range of subjects is broad.

The Structured Intelligence Lab develops new AI technologies centered on deep learning, drawing on mathematics such as analytical mechanics and differential geometry. A distinctive feature of deep learning is that mathematical structure can be built in when the network is designed. Taking advantage of this property, the lab works on AI simulators that enable fast computer simulation, and on generative AI that creates images matching a given text. The lab holds research presentations, reading groups, and study sessions, and welcomes participation in its study sessions and projects.

The Intelligent Informatics Lab conducts research on human-computer interaction, artificial intelligence, and sensing. Aiming for technology that intelligently supports people and creates a safe society, the lab advances research on both the software and hardware sides. Currently, various projects are underway, including mobile technology, high-precision positioning and ranging, 3D imaging, and ubiquitous computing. The lab is open not only to students of information science and engineering but also to those interested in cognition, education, and design.

The Information Analysis Lab aims to build new fields by combining information science, applied mathematics, and physics. Using mathematical methods, the lab investigates learning methods for quantum computation, collective motion such as the flocking of living organisms, and chemical reaction networks. A weekly seminar is the core of the lab's activities, and third-year undergraduates begin with a reading group on statistics to build the foundation for moving on to research. Research topics may be decided in consultation with the faculty, or students may find and propose their own.

The High Performance Computing Lab studies high-performance computing (HPC). The lab researches parallel processing algorithms and programming techniques for making effective use of large-scale parallel computing environments such as supercomputers, as well as the latest processors such as GPUs. The lab also develops numerical computing libraries for matrix computations and numerical schemes for scientific and technical computing. The lab belongs to the Information Initiative Center and also manages and operates Hokkaido University's supercomputers.
