An AIST-collaborative lab that structures the meaning of data using knowledge graphs.

The Egami Lab studies technologies that extract meaning and context from large amounts of data and organize it as knowledge. Centered on knowledge graphs, which represent relationships between data as graphs, and on Linked Data, their web standard, the lab also combines machine learning and natural language processing. Its goal is to create a cyberspace in which all kinds of data are structured as knowledge, and to advance today's web and AI and apply them to solving real-world problems. Collaborative Associate Professor Egami is affiliated with the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST), and at the University of Electro-Communications the lab collaborates with the Osuga-Tahara-Sei Lab.

A lab that supports software reliability with AI and formal methods.

The Ishikawa Lab studies technologies for making software trustworthy, and the relationship between AI and software engineering. With the vision of "smart systems and smart dependability assurance," the lab operates as a research group that spans multiple organizations. Prof. Ishikawa belongs to the National Institute of Informatics (NII), and the lab also accepts graduate students from SOKENDAI (The Graduate University for Advanced Studies) and The University of Electro-Communications. Most of the students accepted at The University of Electro-Communications are working professionals in the doctoral program.

A lab that aims to build AI that understands the background and meaning of human activities by integrating data and knowledge.

The Fukuda Lab aims to develop AI technologies that understand the background and meaning of human activities by integrating data-driven AI and knowledge-driven AI. Toward AI that can also support daily life, the lab links knowledge about human actions, intentions, safety, and more with video and natural language information, and builds it into AI reasoning and recognition. Research is carried out at the Artificial Intelligence Research Center (Odaiba) of the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST). Students assigned to the lab can, as needed, work as technical trainees and use AIST's large-scale AI computing resources, such as ABCI, for their research. Students can join this lab starting at the graduate school level.

A lab exploring next-generation networks in which information is exchanged by name.

The Asaeda Lab studies network mechanisms that allow everything, including people, sensors, robots, and avatars, to share information efficiently and effectively. In addition to basic and applied research based on information-centric networking technology, the lab studies the design of the next-generation Internet using technologies such as distributed ledger technology, as well as ultra-high-definition, high-quality streaming. This is a collaborative lab of the Graduate School of Informatics and Engineering at The University of Electro-Communications, and Prof. Asaeda, the collaborating professor, is primarily employed at the National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT). As needed, students visit the professor's lab at NICT headquarters, where they carry out research, development, and demonstration experiments while working with cutting-edge technology.

A lab that scientifically clarifies the effects of video on the viewer's experience.

The Komine Lab, an NHK collaborative lab, studies what effects and influences video has on the people who watch it. As new display devices such as smartphones, HMDs, and AR glasses become widespread, viewing styles have diversified, and the quality of the experience people get also differs from conventional TV viewing in the living room. The lab aims to clarify what characteristics of video suit which display devices, and what conditions of a display device bring out those benefits, and to use the findings to support effective video production and the development of display devices. The related fields are wide-ranging, including cognitive science, engineering, psychology, and physiology, and the lab pursues its research with flexible thinking that is not bound by field boundaries.
