Information on Laboratory Assignment

Interviews for Laboratory Assignment

Students who wish to be assigned to this laboratory must contact kaneiwa(at)uec.ac.jp and attend an individual interview. Interview requests are accepted at any time.

Laboratory Introduction at the Joint In-Person MI/CS Laboratory Briefing Session (Venue: West Building 9, Room 135; Date: Friday, October 24, 4th period)

Student-Led Open Campus Laboratory Exhibition, Academic Year 2025 (Venue: West Building 9, Room 405; Date: Sunday, November 23, 11:00–17:00)

Overview of the exhibition: We conduct research on artificial intelligence (AI) with the aim of enabling computers to handle the meaning of human language and knowledge. In particular, we explain what artificial intelligence is and introduce the research fields concerned with its core technologies, namely knowledge representation, reasoning, and machine learning (neural networks), as well as with computers that interpret the meaning of language. As applications of artificial intelligence and deep learning, we present research technologies that perform reasoning by applying machine learning to natural-language text and knowledge graphs.

Students Sought by the Kaneiwa Laboratory

The Kaneiwa Laboratory seeks students who are interested in artificial intelligence and the Web. Students are selected for assignment on the basis of an interview (mandatory), their intention either to proceed to graduate school or to seek employment, and the following criteria.

(1) GPA (academic record to date)

(2) Proficiency in programming (whether all exercises in my assignment for Computer Science Laboratory II were submitted)

(3) Grade in Database Systems

The assessment is based on any one of criteria (1) to (3) above. For example, a student with strong programming ability will be evaluated favorably even if their GPA is not particularly high. Accordingly, typical combinations are an interview, the intention to proceed to graduate school, and criterion (1), or an interview, the intention to proceed to graduate school, and criterion (2). Students who were unfortunately unable to take my assignment in Computer Science Laboratory II may be given the assignment handout and allowed to submit their work individually.

Research Posters

These posters were prepared by students to explain their research topics in an accessible manner (in Japanese).
