Course description

This class presents recent research topics in the fields of electronic systems. The research fields include electronic devices, circuits, LSI, AI and related hardware, signal processing, control theory, nonlinear phenomenon, speech and language processing and machine learning, and astrophysics.

Professors in Department of Electronic Information Systems will serve the classes about recent trends in their research fields. Classes of each professor basically consist of a lecture and an exercise (two weeks). Follow the professors’ instruction about their assignments, reports, and discussions.

Class schedule

	Class schedule	HW assignments (Including preparation and review of the class.)	Amount of Time Required
1.	Introduction to this class. Spoken language is the most fundamental communication method. We learn the basic mechanism of speech production and hearing, and we discuss the recent progress of the speech and language information processing systems and services. （Prof. Mano）	Read the syllabus.	60minutes
1.		Review recent speech and language interfaces in the Internet.	120minutes
2.	Reporting on speech and language information processing. (Prof. Mano)	Prepare your reports or homework according to the professor's instruction.	190minutes
3.	Synchronization is an important nonlinear phenomenon. In this theme, some examples (synchronization is seen in the natural environment, in our body and in electric circuit) will be introduced, and students will learn its application for various fields. (Assoc. Prof. Ioka)	Study the definition of synchronization.	190minutes
4.	Reporting on synchronization of nonlinear phenomena. (Assoc. Prof. Ioka)	Prepare your reports or homework according to the professor's instruction.	190minutes
5.	A few industrial applications (micro/nano manufacturing, micro/nano operation, vibration control, etc.) of the advanced control theory will be introduced. (Prof. Chen)	Basic feedback knowledge is needed.	190minutes
6.	Reporting on industrial applications of the advanced control theory. (Prof. Chen)	Prepare your reports or homework according to the professor's instruction.	190minutes
7.	Black holes are now understood as a fundamental element in our universe. I will show how we know the existence of black holes which cannot be directly observed. Recent results on black holes based on X-ray observations will also be introduced. (Prof. Kubota)	Review mechanics, especially the field of gravity like Newton’s law of gravitation.	190minutes
8.	Reporting on Black holes. (Prof. Kubota)	Prepare your reports or homework according to the professor's instruction.	190minutes
9.	High energy astrophysics is reviewed based on X-ray, gamma-ray, and cosmic-ray observations. Students will acquire a basic understanding of the universe more than stars and empty space. (Prof. Yoshida)	Review basic physics, especially the field of modern physics.	190minutes
10.	Reporting on High energy astrophysics. (Prof. Yoshida)	Prepare your reports or homework according to the professor's instruction.	190minutes
11.	This class will explain the recent trends in LSI, artificial intelligence and related hardware. Students will be able to understand: the development in LSI technologies, the basic concept of artificial intelligence, and the development of AI chips. (Prof. Nicodimus Retdian)	Study the electronic circuits, systems, and IoT.	190minutes
12.	Reporting on LSI, artificial intelligence and related hardware. (Prof. Nicodimus Retdian)	Prepare your reports or homework according to the professor's instruction.	190minutes
13.	Title: Introductory Signal Processing The main theme of this title is to understand what signal processing is. To this end, fundamentals of signals and their processing systems are given, and some examples of simple signal processing systems are introduced. (Prof. Watanabe)	Survey the difference between analog and digital signal processing.	190minutes
14.	In this class, students do simple exercises on the Fourier transforms and their applications of linear signal processing systems. (Prof. Watanabe)	Prepare your reports or homework according to the professor's instruction.	190minutes
