We conduct research on media processing, including spoken language processing, media encoding, and communication methods,
and on the design of comprehensive communication systems that include end-to-end human and information environments. Specifically,
we investigate and research advanced information processing technologies for spoken language processing (speech analysis,
recognition, synthesis, conversion, and dialogue), content generation and human interfaces using these technologies, and coding,
retrieval, transmission systems, and quality evaluation of speech, acoustics, and multimedia. We also deal with basic signal
processing, information and communication, cryptology, pattern recognition and machine learning, and system implementation
technology using computer networks. The research topics may be individual technological development or project research related
to PBL subjects.
In Undergraduate Research II, students are expected to conduct simulations and experiments on the research objectives and
specific research themes set in Undergraduate Research I. They are expected to demonstrate the superiority of their proposed
solutions over conventional technologies. Students are also expected to summarize the results of their research in a comprehensive
research outline and a thesis, and to be able to properly communicate their results to others at the final presentation.
