Tetsuya Sakai, Professor
1 student voices
The Sakai Lab mainly studies information retrieval and information access, as well as natural language processing. The lab also works on how search engines operate and on the interaction between people and computers. The lab also places importance on the perspective of social good, applying research results to benefit society.
Kazue Sako, Professor
1 student voices
Sako Lab researches security and privacy technologies to build a safe and secure IT society. Using technologies such as cryptographic protocols and blockchain, the lab explores how to design systems that are easy to use and trustworthy. The lab also works on self-sovereign identity infrastructure, which lets people use their own data for their own benefit.
Kana Shimizu, Professor
1 student voices
Shimizu Lab conducts research that uses computers to analyze biological information such as genomes and to clarify how life works. In recent years, the performance of DNA sequencers, the devices that read DNA sequences, has improved, and the volume of biological data keeps growing explosively. The lab develops new information science techniques for handling this enormous amount of data. The lab also works on privacy-protection technologies for securely analyzing genomes, which are themselves personal information.
Kumiko Tanaka-Ishii-Ishii, Professor
1 student voices
The Tanaka-Ishii Lab uses complex systems theory to study the mathematical properties of natural language. From the perspectives of fractals and chaos, the lab examines the relationship between linguistic structures such as words and grammar and the large-scale regularities seen across language as a whole. The lab builds mathematical models of language that reproduce these findings, and also applies them to natural language processing. Language shares properties with other large-scale social systems such as finance, law, and communication networks, and the lab is also exploring new ways to understand these systems using text and computation.
Tatsuo Nakajima, Professor
1 student voices
Nakajima Lab (DCL) explores unprecedented ways of using computers and researches information technology that enriches people's lives. The lab develops new ways for people to interact with the real world through computers, using augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR). It also conducts research on "happiness technology," which uses methods such as gamification to improve quality of life and satisfaction. The lab also works on dependable software and scalable distributed systems.
Hayato Yamana, Professor
1 student voices
Yamana Lab researches how to turn the abundant data around us, such as social media posts and images, into technologies that benefit society. User-created content (UCC) is growing explosively, and there are high expectations for personalized services that make use of it. The lab covers a wide range of areas, from high-speed data processing, mining algorithms, and user interfaces to the security needed when handling data. It also researches ways to use data while protecting privacy, such as technology for computing on data while it remains encrypted.
Hiroshi Ishikawa, Professor
0 student voices
The Ishikawa Lab studies computer vision and pattern analysis. It develops algorithms that allow computers to recognize and understand scenes from images. Using methods such as probabilistic models and graph-based optimization, the lab approaches the mechanisms of recognition mathematically. The lab also works on applications to medical image processing.
Masato Uchida, Professor
0 student voices
The Uchida Lab studies the theory and applications of machine learning. Moving back and forth between theory and applications, the lab aims to clarify the principles and properties of machine learning mathematically. It also conducts empirical research using real-world data.
Naoyasu Ubayashi, Professor
0 student voices
The Ubayashi Lab studies software engineering. Using AI and machine learning, as well as "collective intelligence" that gathers the knowledge of many people, the lab aims to build high-quality software. It works on research on automatically finding and fixing bugs in programs, and on formal methods, which verify software specifications mathematically. Beyond publishing its results as papers, the lab releases practical development support tools as open-source software.
Hironori Kasahara, Professor
0 student voices
The Kasahara Lab studies parallelizing compilers and multicore processors. The lab develops an automatic parallelizing compiler called the "OSCAR compiler" and works on technology that automatically distributes a program across multiple cores so that it runs fast. The lab also conducts research on low power consumption and green computing, including compiler technology that automatically reduces power consumption. The lab also has applications in familiar devices in view, such as medical image processing and driver-assistance systems.
