Shoichi Hasegawa, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Hasegawa Lab studies virtual reality, augmented reality, and human interfaces. It aims to contribute to creating information environments in which people can live naturally, enjoyably, and creatively. The goal is not to simulate reality as it is, but to modify reality to create better environments. The lab specializes in building computational simulation models of humans and the real world, and in interfaces that take force and tactile sensation into account.
Yasuharu Koike, Professor
0 student voices
Koike Lab studies human motor control, sensory integration, measurement of brain activity, and data analysis that links medicine and engineering. The lab aims to understand the functions of the human brain and to reproduce them on computers by imitating the methods the brain uses. From an early stage, the lab has developed musculoskeletal models that can estimate muscle tension, joint angles, and more from electromyograms, and has applied them to controlling robots such as prosthetic hands. Research topics include VR and pseudo-haptics, electromyography and muscle synergies, analysis of electroencephalograms and brain activity, and analysis of medical and nursing care data.
Takahiro Shinozaki, Professor
0 student voices
Shinozaki Lab studies speech information processing and machine learning, with a focus on speech recognition. From an engineering perspective, the lab aims to uncover how humans recognize, understand, and learn speech, and to realize those abilities on computers. Rather than relying only on speech data with correct labels, the lab works on technologies that learn on their own through unsupervised learning and reinforcement learning. The basic knowledge mainly needed for the research is mathematics and programming.
Masahiro Yamaguchi, Professor
0 student voices
The Yamaguchi Lab builds on light and image processing technology to study spectral imaging, color reproduction, medical imaging, holography, and more. Its themes are imaging systems that faithfully reproduce the color and texture of real objects, and image analysis technology for quantitative pathological diagnosis. The lab is also advancing research on 3D displays that use holography to project three-dimensional images into space. The lab is run jointly by Professor Yamaguchi and Assistant Professor Takeyama.
Katsunori Yamaoka, Professor
0 student voices
The Yamaoka-Kitaguchi Lab studies control technologies for information and communication networks such as the Internet, and multimedia processing technologies for communication. From both theory and implementation, the lab works on new communication protocols, communication quality control, network operations, and more. There are many opportunities to present and learn from one another in the lab, including the spring lab seminar in April, the winter lab seminar in December, and textbook reading sessions (rinko) in which members read textbooks together. Anyone who wishes to take the entrance exam must meet with Prof. Yamaoka beforehand, regardless of program and whether they are from inside or outside the university.
Yuko Hara, Program-Specific Professor
0 student voices
Hara Lab studies embedded systems from both the hardware and software sides. The lab works broadly on highly efficient, highly reliable automated design techniques for the many kinds of embedded systems found in home appliances, automobiles, mobile phones, and more.
Hirohiko Kaneko, Professor
0 student voices
Kaneko Lab studies how humans process information that enters through the eyes. The lab aims to clarify the processes of human perception and cognition, centered on the visual system, and in particular the mechanisms for perceiving space.
Kenta Kasai, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Kasai Lab studies codes that correct errors occurring in quantum computer calculations. In particular, it explores how to construct quantum LDPC codes, whose parity-check equations are sparse, and how to decode them. The challenge is to satisfy several properties that are hard to achieve together: a practical code rate, a large girth, and low decoding complexity. The lab aims to regain the design freedom of classical LDPC codes under the constraint of quantum commutativity.
Manabu Okumura, Professor
0 student voices
The Okumura-Funakoshi Lab focuses on natural language processing, which deals with language using computers. It also puts effort into multimodal dialogue systems, knowledge processing, and the construction and evaluation of language resources, covering a wide range from basic to applied research. Using machine learning extensively, the lab studies summarization, text generation from data, opinion and sentiment analysis, social media analysis, dialogue, and more. Students find their own research topics based on their interests, and can receive supervision on anything related to natural language processing, dialogue systems, or human-machine interaction.
Hiroki Nakahara, Program-Specific Professor
0 student voices
The Nakahara Lab studies reconfigurable systems, which are LSIs that can be rewritten. Focusing on FPGAs in particular, it works on how to implement and apply AI, as well as high-performance computing. A distinctive feature is that it covers a wide range, from LSI design and verification to applications and theoretical architectures. Besides publishing its results in papers, the lab also links them to business use through a venture company.
