Jun Kurihara, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Kurihara Lab studies the building-block technologies and protocols for security and privacy that will be essential to future network infrastructure. The lab approaches the problem from both theory and implementation. In fundamental areas, it builds protocols based on coding theory. In applied areas, it studies new network architectures and their anonymization and authentication protocols.

Yuta Itoh, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Yuta Itoh Lab (Augmented Vision Lab) studies technologies that compute the interaction between people and the real world and intervene in it. The lab aims to augment the way people exist in the computing society of the future. Its themes are wide-ranging, from new display technologies for augmented reality (AR), to applications that augment vision, to AR and physical interaction. A distinctive feature of the lab is that it works on both hardware, such as optical design and electronic circuits, and software, such as computer vision and graphics.

Kenji Kenji Tei, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Kenji Tei Lab aims to realize autonomous software systems that can evolve and adapt flexibly to changes at runtime. As software becomes closely tied to the physical world and social infrastructure, there is growing demand for "flexible, resilient software" that can self-heal, self-optimize, and self-protect in response to change. The lab targets a range of domains, including cloud-native systems, robots, federated learning, and human interfaces. Centered on four areas (self-adaptation techniques, formal synthesis methods, generative AI, and human–autonomous system interaction), the lab works from theory to application.

Yang Yang Cao, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Yang Cao Lab studies privacy protection and security technologies for using AI safely. Focusing on large language models, autonomous agents, federated learning, and data infrastructure, the lab investigates what the dangers are and how to protect against them. The lab builds theoretical foundations such as differential privacy and secure computation, and goes on to develop algorithms and systems that actually work. In an international environment where Japanese and English are both spoken, the lab pursues research with the goal of presenting at international conferences.

Yuki Arase Yuki, Professor
0 student voices
The Yuki Arase Lab conducts research aiming to realize artificial intelligence that understands and generates language like humans. The lab seeks to uncover how people build up the meaning of language in order to understand it. As applications useful to society, the lab develops systems that support language learners and technologies for intelligently processing medical text. It also works on evaluation techniques that examine whether large language models behave in ways that are unacceptable to people and society.

Koichiro Yoshino, Program-Specific Professor
0 student voices
The Yoshino Lab studies spoken dialogue systems that talk and interact with people. The lab covers technologies for understanding spoken language, for deciding how a dialogue proceeds, and for generating response sentences, all as one system. It also works on applications such as dialogue systems that guide users to the information they want and dialogue systems that support the daily lives of older adults. Dialogue with robots is also a subject of study, and Project Professor Yoshino leads a team in RIKEN's Guardian Robot Project.

Shogo Shogo Hamada, Assistant Professor
0 student voices
The Shogo Hamada Lab studies how to combine biomolecules such as DNA to build new systems. The lab designs "molecular robots," which are not living organisms but have the characteristics of life, starting from the molecular level. It is extending the technologies developed there to functional materials that can "think" and to diagnostic devices that test nucleic acids on the spot. This is a new research area that emerged from the convergence of various fields, including information science, control engineering, chemistry, and biophysics.

Jun Sakuma, Professor
0 student voices
The Sakuma Lab studies the trustworthiness of machine learning and artificial intelligence. It works on AI security and privacy, explainable AI that shows the reasons behind AI decisions, and AI-driven discrimination and fabrication. The research covers a wide range of AI models, including language models, reinforcement learning, and models that link images and language. Together with universities outside the lab's own, it also works on the pathological diagnosis of malignant lymphoma and on attacks against autonomous driving systems and countermeasures to them.

Natsue Yoshimura, Professor
0 student voices
The Yoshimura Lab studies how to read information from brain activity signals that can be measured without harming the body, such as EEG and fMRI. Based on the information it reads, the lab builds brain–machine interfaces (BMIs) that connect the brain to machines. The lab decodes motor control, hearing and speech, and emotion, using machine learning to extract information from the signals. As an international collaboration, it is also developing BMIs for people who cannot move their bodies because of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).

Suguru Saito, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Saito Lab studies the act of drawing using methods from information science. It investigates how people express what they see, and the processing that people carry out when they do so. The lab aims to apply its findings to image processing and computer graphics. Its work includes analysis of cel animation footage and animation production tools, image editing and color conversion, and line drawing generation.
