Characteristics

Education

It is important to learn the expert knowledge, however, more important thing is to obtain the ability to "discover a problem by oneself, identify the essence of the problem and solve the problem with the power of logical thinking". This ability is required not only to research but also to social activity. We consider the research as an training matrial to learn the ability. We aim to nurture talented persons who acquire the ability and play an important role in various fields.

Research

We study the Information theory and its applications. Our research area includes Source coding, Channel coding, Information security, Statistical learning theory and so on. We attack on the various problems in such research areas. We aim to establish the theory and technology which are applicable to the various areas by extracting the essence of the problems in the real world.
