Research Contents

1. Human Interface group
Our research area is Human Interface, especially relationship of a human and a various kind of system. For example, we research on the Human-Robot/agent communication based on the research on Human-Human communication. In our study, we believe that our research make someone be happy by bringing a change for human communication, education and the social activities. Therefore, we use the tools used in the sociology, the psychology and the statistics as well as the engineering technology such as VR/AR, Robot etc.

2. In the acoustic group
we are researching numerical simulation technologies for problems related to general wave phenomena, from sound waves to electromagnetic waves. In particular, by the development of specialized sound field rendering hardware, we are aiming to achieve a “silicon concert hall” to reproduce concert hall sound in real-time.

We are also researching on sound event and acoustic scene analysis, which can contribute automatic monitoring systems, abnormal detection systems, automatic surveillance, and media retrieval. Specifically, we study machine learning algorithms and evaluation methods for sound event and acoustic scene analysis.
