Ken Kaneiwa, Professor
1 student voices
The Kaneiwa Lab studies how artificial intelligence acquires and represents knowledge, and how it performs reasoning and learning based on that knowledge. A distinguishing feature is that the lab targets data of meaning itself, namely language and knowledge, rather than images or audio. Another research topic is AI that learns ontologies, which represent knowledge of a specific domain. The lab has released FROST, a database and query language for the Semantic Web, and also works on research into programming support for game software using generative AI.
武石 Takeishi, Professor
0 student voices
The Takeishi Lab studies how bureaucrats and military officers in late-developing countries have been selected and formed into collective groups. Specializing in the history of education and the social history of education, the lab centers on modern Japan and conducts international comparisons with Thailand and South American countries. Using the link between selection by examination and party politics and civil-military relations as a clue, it examines the factors that make politics unstable. Prof. Takeishi has written the book Kindai Tokyo no Shiritsu Chugakko: Jokyo to Risshin Shusse no Shakaishi (Private Middle Schools in Modern Tokyo: A Social History of Moving to the City and Rising in the World).
Yasuichi Nakayama, Professor
0 student voices
The Nakayama Lab studies informatics education in schools and the “Information” subject in university entrance exams. It examines the terms that appear in textbooks for the high school subject “Information,” and also takes part in joint research that builds a body of knowledge for the subject. It investigates how to measure and learn programming ability through grading methods, learning tools, and classroom practice. Prof. Nakayama has been elected a Fellow of the Information Processing Society of Japan for activities promoting informatics education.
Toru Nakashika, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Nakashika Lab conducts research using machine learning and AI (deep learning) on speech, music, acoustics, and EEG (brain waves). It works on speech synthesis, voice conversion, automatic music composition, automatic music transcription, sound source separation, and synthesizing speech from EEG. By making use of prior knowledge such as the data structures specific to speech and acoustics and music theory, the lab aims to develop AI that performs well even with small amounts of data. Research themes are, in principle, set freely by each student individually.
Hiro Ito, Professor
0 student voices
The Ito-Mieno Lab studies discrete algorithms and string algorithms. Professor Ito's research areas are discrete algorithms, discrete mathematics, and recreational mathematics. Assistant Professor Mieno's research areas are string data structures and algorithms, and combinatorics on words. Professor Ito is the author of the book "Pazuru Gemu de Tanoshimu Sugaku: Goraku Sugaku no Sekai" (Enjoying Mathematics with Puzzles and Games: The World of Recreational Mathematics).
Takeshi Ito, Professor
0 student voices
The Ito Lab studies, using methods from cognitive science, how the human mind works when people play thinking games such as shogi and Go. The lab repeatedly predicts models of human information processing from the results of psychological experiments with expert players as participants, implements those models on computers, and examines their behavior. The lab also works on measuring players' strength (playing rank) using game AI that has become sufficiently strong.
Akashi Satoh, Professor
0 student voices
The Satoh Lab works on urban farming and beekeeping in cities, and on commercializing an experimental platform for cryptographic modules, among other projects. In farming, the lab is developing farming for enjoyment as a new kind of service business, using building rooftops to expand green spaces in urban areas. In beekeeping, the lab is introducing IoT technology into urban beekeeping. The lab is also commercializing "SAKURA," a standard evaluation platform for physical attack experiments on cryptographic modules.
Shigeyuki Sato
0 student voices
The Sato Lab studies the design, implementation, and application of programming languages, as well as systematic programming. Language design goes hand in hand with theoretical tools. Current projects include an optimizing compiler for MN-Core, data-parallel DSLs, and support for programming in notebooks. The lab is also known as PLSP-Lab.
Yasuhiro Minami, Professor
0 student voices
The Minami-Koga Lab studies mechanisms that learn and adapt in fields such as images, communication networks, speech, and language, centered on the algorithms that form the foundation of information systems. On Professor Minami's side, the lab works on how young children learn words, predicting abusive speech and wandering in elderly people with dementia, and support for people writing papers. On Associate Professor Koga's side, the lab handles algorithms such as similarity search, which quickly finds similar data, and clustering of large-scale data. Each student has a research booth separated by a partition, and at the weekly lab seminar, all master's and doctoral students give presentations.
Hisashi Koga, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Koga Lab studies algorithms for finding similar items in large amounts of data, and their application to image and video processing. The lab works on new representation schemes for patterns, methods for rapidly computing the similarity between data, and probabilistic algorithms such as LSH and Min-Hash. Recent publications include papers on similarity search and clustering for time-series data and data streams.
