Research
[Research Overview]
Aiming to improve the collaboration and productivity of human beings, we conduct research from the following two
standpoints: basic research on pattern recognition, media processing, machine learning, and knowledge discovery; and
applied research on collaboration support and medical and welfare informatics based on the findings of the basic
research.
In the basic research, we study the theoretical foundations of pattern recognizer training methods, speech/image
recognition algorithms, and machine learning/knowledge discovery algorithms, aiming to contribute to a wide range of
science and engineering disciplines.
In the applied research, we are developing an experimental remote collaboration support system, termed "t-Room," to
create a media realm beyond time and space. Specifically, we are engaged in research on advanced multimedia
information processing and communication, including the development of technologies to edit high-quality images, the
application of communication networking technologies, and the development of intelligent human interfaces.
[Research Environment]
Our laboratory includes two experimental apparatuses for the remote collaboration support system, "t-Room", to
enable testing regarding "the sense of being in the same room." The equipment enables the development of t-Room
controlling software as well as the application of basic research findings on pattern recognition, media processing,
machine learning, and knowledge discovery.
By conducting your research with a transdisciplinary approach in this research environment, you will be able to
contribute and make a difference in academia. This transdisciplinary approach requires knowledge and skills in the
following areas: the technologies of media processing, pattern recognition, machine learning, and knowledge
discovery, based on theory and mathematics; and the utilization of these technologies in human collaborative
environments. The supervising professor will guide you in acquiring these skills and knowledge and in accomplishing
your research.
