The purpose of this course is to study the fundamentals of spatial hearing and its application to virtual environments. By using two ears, human among other species, are able to determine the direction from where a sound is being emitted in a real environment. For virtual environments (e.g., movies, games, recorded or live concerts) is desirable to provide the spatial cues found in nature to increase the realism of a scene. Besides reviewing the underlying theories of spatial hearing, this course focuses in practical implementations of binaural hearing techniques, so the course is intense in hands-on exercises, assignments, and projects mainly based on Pure-data programming language.

Note: depending on the evolution of the COVID-19 pandemic, this course may be offered online.

/Course outline

This course explores the human-computer interface as used in interactive multimedia,
namely the design of realtime computer games.
We feature a project-based, "hands-on" approach, emphasizing creation of self-designed
virtual worlds for CGM: consumer-generated media and UGC: user-generated content.
The main vehicle of expression is "Unity,"
a 3D game engine,
combining segments on CAD (computer-aided design),
game design,
motion graphics,
color, graphical & visual design, texture mapping, sound, music, speech & dialog, as well as software engineering and event handling.
We also use
Photopea, Blender, Audacity or WavePad, and GarageBand or Reaper as
support tools for multimedia content creation.
The power of experiential education is leveraged by lessons with an emphasis on practical experimentation,
learning by doing.

Due to the coronavirus situation, some course meetings may be held online, using Zoom to conduct distributed classes, or blended, with both in-person and virtual attendance.

Most of the coursework involves lab exercises emphasizing creative applications of digital contents creation tools, highlighting design and invention as much as discovery. Weekly "checkpoint" exercises verify specific skill sets--- including design, drawing and painting, color models and specification, digital compositing (layers, overlays, texture mapping), stereography (anaglyphics, chromastereoscopy), audio editing SFX (sound effects), dialog generated with TTS (text-to-speech) synthesis tools, and DTM for BGM (desk-top music composition for background music)--- progressively accumulating into fully realized virtual worlds, stories, or games. There are also creative studio exercises, occasional quizzes, and exams. The course's annual chromastereoptic art contest is juried, and winning entries are exhibited in a special display in the University library. Student scenarios (plays, movies, & games), highlighting originally created worlds and spaces, composed individually (mid-term) and as teams (end-of-term), are presented to the entire class in special review sessions.

授業の目的と到達目標
/Objectives and attainment
goals
Demonstration-rich formal lectures interleaved with laboratory sessions
provide a rigorous, theoretical
background as well as practical experience regarding basic audio operations.
The university's exercise rooms feature multimedia workstations,
at which students can work individually or in teams
to explore concepts regarding sound and audio.
Interactive exercises, based on workstations and tablets, provide realtime
"hands-on" multimedia
educational opportunities that are stimulating and creative, as
students enjoy intuitive, experiential learning.
Utilized resources include
audio synthesis and multimedia data-flow visual programming (Pure Data),
audio editing and analysis software (Audacity),
interactive physics visualization and auralization physics applets (illustrating wave behavior, DSP, filtering, etc.),
advanced computational and plotting utilities (Mathematica),
effects processing (GarageBand),
and game design (Unity).
This course is intended to be useful to audio engineers and researchers, as well as musicians.
In other words, this course is about theory, simulation and practice:
playing with sound, learning by doing, and saying (instead of "see you") "hear you!"
Students who complete this course will be empowered with basic knowledge of sound and audio
and the confidence to apply those principals to generally encountered
situations in sound and audio engineering.

/Course outline
Learning ability is one of the most fundamental abilities for realizing
“intelligence”. A system with the learning ability can become more and more
efficient and/or effective for solving given problems. Briefly speaking,
machine learning is a research field for studying theories, methodologies,
and algorithms that enable computing machines to learn and to become
intelligent. So far, many approaches have been proposed in the literature
for machine learning; and multilayer perceptron, convolutional neural
network, Bayesian network, and decision tree are just a few examples. In
this course, we categorize many existing approaches into a few groups,
namely, learning based on distance, learning based on probability, learning
based on layered structures, and learning based on tree structures. We do
not intend to cover all aspects of machine learning in this single course.
Instead, we will focus on several most well-known and well-applied
approaches. We suppose that, before taking this course, the students have
already studied some fundamental courses related to machine learning, say,
“Artificial intelligence” for undergraduate school, “Introduction to neural
networks” for graduate school, and so on. To know more about machine
learning or AI in general, we recommend the students to take other related
courses. For example, in the graduate school, the students may also take
courses related to big-data analysis; ontology and semantic web;
information retrieval; meta-heuristics; and so on.
授業の目的と到達目標
/Objectives and attainment
goals
The main goal of this course is to study and understand the basic
concepts and mechanisms of several well-known and well-applied machine
learning approaches, including for example, k-means, self-organization;
Naïve Bayes classification; support vector machine; convolutional neural
network; deep auto-encoder; deep Boltzmann machine; Bayesian network;
decision tree, AdaBoost, random forest, etc. To reinforce the learned
knowledge, students will do some team projects in groups. Through these
projects, students will solve some real-life or synthesized problems using
some of the learned methods.

Recently, there have been very large and complex data sets from nature, sensors, social networks, enterprises increasingly based on high speed computers and networks together.
Big data is the term for a collection of the data sets that it becomes difficult to process using on-hand database management tools or traditional data processing applications.
Data science is a novel term that is often used interchangeably with competitive intelligence or business analytics, and it seeks to use all available and relevant data to effectively tell a story that can be easily understood by non-practitioners.
Data science based on the big data is expected to provide very potent prediction and analysis for information and knowledge of various fields of researches and businesses from the new data set.
Main objective of this course is to build up business viewpoints and target to use the big data, to learn technologies and skills to accomplish the business target.
Business targeting and modeling, decision making, data science process, database for big data, statistical analysis, data mining,
and how to use the technologies to achieve the business goal will be studied in detail.

授業の概要
/Course outline
At its core, data science is a field of study that aims to use a scientific approach to extract meaning and insights from data. Machine learning, on the other hand, refers to a group of techniques used by data scientists that allow computers to learn from data. Data science and machine learning are both very popular buzzwords today. These two terms are often thrown around together but should not be mistaken for synonyms. Although data science includes machine learning, it is a vast field with many different tools.

Briefly, this course covers  the following topics: (1) Methods to store the raw data in database systems, (2) Processing (or ETL) techniques to handle voluminous data, (3) classic and recent data mining techniques to discover knowledge from databases, and (4) recent deep learning techniques (especially, fuzzy and graph-based deep learning techniques) published in top computer science conferences.
授業の目的と到達目標
