Multimedia, Computer Vision, Machine Learning, Pattern Recognition, Attractiveness Computing
Our research interests have a wide spectrum: multimedia, computer vision, pattern recognition, machine learning, natural language processing, and computer graphics.We are interested not only in fundamental problems but also business-level applications using our technologies. We have a lot of collaboration projects with industory and academia.
Research field 1
Attractiveness Computing
We are interested in analyzing why and how we get attracted to specific persons, contents, and services. We have been trying to predict, tell reasons, and even enhance such “attractiveness” or “sympathy” using multimedia big data. We are not doing research on application oriented topics, but trying to solve the research problems behind them.
Research field 2
Fundamental Technologies in Machine Learning
We have been working on fundamental machine learning problems. We are interested in developing novel research problems or fields rather than extending existing algorithms.
Research field 3
Media technology social implementation
We are also interested in integrating our technologies into real services. We can obtain real-life data that can enhance our projects and we can find new research problems from real users' behaviors.
