Research Fields : Formal Language Theory, Computational Learning Theory, Theory of Natural Computing, Bio-Informatics
[Formal Language Theory]
With the help of framework of formal grammars and automata, we formalize a concept as the set of strings and explore the mathematical, formal properties of the set.
[Computational Learning Theory]
By formalizing the phenomenon of learning in terms of a variety of concepts in computer science, we study and develop algorithms for learning.
[Theory of Natural Computing]
We explore novel computational mechanisms and computing models that utilize the properties and principles comming from nature. Also, through those studies, we try to have deeper understandings of natural phenomena from the computational points of view.
[Bio-Informatics]
Making the most use of various concepts and
methods in infromation science, we analyse biological information such as
genes.
At the first glance, four areas mentioned above might appear to have mutually
no connection. However, there do exist soft links among them at least in my
mind. In order to make deep analysis of one area, it is of great importance
to learn about a broad knowledge of its surrounding areas. Keep it in
mind to have a cool attitude of taking a broad view of things.
One suggestion : For those who want to take this seminar, it is advised to
finish courses such as Information Math, Applied Math. It is recommended to
students who are interested in applications of mathematical theory, in new
type of math (discrete math), or who want to quit smoking.
