The lab of Assistant Professor Shinji Tateishi studies how the systems of universities and schools relate to people's learning and career paths. From the perspectives of higher education, career education, and sociology of education, the lab examines the relationship between institutions and individuals. Past subjects include transfer admission systems, the career development of university faculty, and career education and career guidance in elementary, junior high, and high schools. The lab places importance on understanding people's choices and experiences not only as individual matters, but also in relation to the institutions, information, and social structures that shape them.

The Visual Media Lab (Minako Terachi) studies the relationship between society and visual media, beginning with television. Through fieldwork, the lab has clarified how television was received in regional areas in the 1950s, when it emerged as a new visual medium. Currently, the lab also takes into account visual media such as smartphones, tablets, large screens, and projection, and explores the future of media and of how people acquire information. It examines from multiple angles the technologies and legal systems that support content and viewing.
Ryusei Matsunaga, Project Assistant Professor
0 student voices
The lab of History of Publishing Culture (Ryusei Matsunaga) studies how people in early modern and modern Japan obtained and read books. Few historical sources directly show how people read. However, by examining the publication and circulation of books, signs of how they were received sometimes emerge. Alongside the publication, circulation, and reception of books, the lab also studies book-rental culture.
Norihiko Uda, Professor
0 student voices
Prof. Uda's lab studies how knowledge is transmitted and shared. Using the perspective of information resource management, the lab examines how records preserved in libraries, archives, and museums relate to knowledge. The lab's goal is to create smart libraries, a new form of library. It also works on digital humanities and on book recommendation and reading analysis.
Nobutaka Suzuki, Professor
0 student voices
Prof. Suzuki's lab conducts algorithm research on structured documents such as XML and HTML. XML and HTML are widely used as de facto standard formats on the Web, but schema languages (such as DTD and W3C XML Schema) and query languages (such as XPath) involve many complex problems that cannot be solved within practical time. The lab develops methods for solving such problems efficiently.
Yohei Seki, Professor
0 student voices
The Communication Understanding Lab studies the process of human language understanding, as well as the understanding of communicative intent that connects people and communities. The lab also works on "norm-mediating alignment," which mediates multilayered norms spanning individuals, organizations, groups, and cultures. Its research rests on information access, which supports access to social information, and on natural language processing, which aligns large language models with the norms of people and society. The lab welcomes motivated non-degree research students and undergraduates, and invites them to start by coming to an open lab or a lab visit.
