Tetsuya Maeshiro, Professor
0 student voices
Prof. Maeshiro's lab studies ways to make good use of computers and knowledge to elucidate phenomena in biology and medicine that are still poorly understood. Its research also covers ways of representing complex phenomena clearly and ways of explaining them to suit the audience. The lab views things in the world, including knowledge, as networks in which various elements are related to one another, and scientifically examines those relationships and the characteristics of the whole.
Fuyuki Yoshikane, Professor
0 student voices
Prof. Yoshikane works on research that analyzes co-authorship relationships among researchers and on research that automatically extracts technical terms from text. The website presents the co-authorship analysis under the term "co-authorship network analysis" and the technical term extraction under the term "technical term variant recognition." The college's faculty introduction page also describes research on how research collaboration networks affect researchers' paper output. In addition, the lab is interested in problems that arise when building catalog databases of Chinese and Korean (Hangul) materials.
Haitao Yu, Associate Professor

The Information Intelligence Lab (II-Research) studies the intersection of information retrieval, artificial intelligence, and human-centered computing. It aims to build intelligent systems that support access to useful information, reasoning grounded in reliable evidence, and better decision-making. Combining fundamental research with practical system development, the lab works on search and ranking, retrieval-augmented generation, multimodal learning, knowledge graphs, and more. The lab values rigorous evaluation, open collaboration, and research that considers both technical performance and societal impact.
Keita Tsuji, Associate Professor

The Book Recommendation (Keita Tsuji) Lab studies what books are held in public and university libraries and how they are used. The lab has also studied a system that recommends university library books based on the Wikipedia article a user is reading. It has also investigated how the designated manager system, in which the operation of public libraries is entrusted to private companies and other organizations, affects library use. Currently, the lab is working on building a model in which public libraries and kodomo shokudo (community cafeterias for children) provide books to children from families living in poverty.
Junko Teruyama, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The lab of Associate Professor Junko Teruyama studies the relationship between developmental disorders and communication from the standpoint of cultural anthropology and medical anthropology. Developmental disorders, including learning disabilities and high-functioning autism, are also called “communication disorders,” but the lab reexamines what specific conditions this actually refers to. Using qualitative research such as interviews, it investigates how such conditions relate to the common beliefs and customs found in society and culture. The research themes of the faculty member include disability, addiction, and communication.
Masaki Matsubara, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Matsubara Lab studies how artistic expressions of embodied knowledge, such as voice, song, dance, and prayer, awaken self-awareness. The lab holds that bodily artistic expression, which draws on art therapy and embodied-knowledge education, can bring about a transformation of consciousness at the bodily level, nonverbally and unconsciously. The lab collects such practices for transforming consciousness and is developing theory-based models of them. Through this modeling, the lab aims to develop kata-kotoba (words in set forms), bodywork, and experiential curricula, and to deliver them to the people who need them.
Shaoyu Ye, Associate Professor
0 student voices
Associate Professor Shaoyu Ye studies the relationship between how people use media such as social media and their well-being and mental and physical health. The professor's research fields are social psychology, library and information science, and humanities and social informatics, and the research keywords listed are well-being, media use, and social support. The lab's work includes surveys of university students and international students, and studies that analyze social media posts as text.
Mikiko Yokoyama, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The lab of Associate Professor Mikiko Yokoyama studies what knowledge, language, and meaning are, using the methods of analytic philosophy. It considers questions such as when knowledge is said to be correct and whether knowledge can be objective, as well as when people can be said to share knowledge. It also considers the meanings of words and what it means to understand language. The relationship between library and information science and philosophy is also one of its research themes.
Mamiko Matsubayashi, Lecturer
0 student voices
The Information Behavior Lab studies the mechanisms behind the media use that people engage in in their daily lives. The subjects include reading books, magazines, and newspapers, and using the internet. The lab also examines how the form of a medium affects its use, for example the differences between an internet-centered lifestyle and an analog one. In the Researcher Directory, the research keywords listed are information behavior, scholarly information circulation, electronic journals, data sharing, and information practices.
Shinji Tateishi, Assistant Professor
0 student voices
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.
