Artificial intelligence (AI) is a research field that studies how to realize intelligent thinking and behavior using a computing machine. The ultimate goal of AI is to make a machine that can learn, plan, and solve problems autonomously. Although AI has been studied for more than half a century, we still cannot make a machine that is as intelligent as a human in all aspects. However, we do have many successful applications. In some cases, the machine equipped with AI technology can be even more intelligent than us. The Alpha-Go system which defeated the world GO champion is a well-known example. In medical diagnosis and machinery design, different kinds of "expert systems" have been widely used to support the human users. In fact, we human beings are becoming more intelligent (may not be wiser) with the help of these kinds of machines. The main research topics in AI include: problem solving, reasoning, planning, natural language understanding, computer vision, automatic programming, machine learning, and so on. Of course, these topics are closely related with each other. For example, the knowledge acquired through learning can be used both for problem solving and for reasoning. In fact, the skill for problem solving itself should be acquired through learning. Also, methods for problem solving are useful both for reasoning and planning. Further, both natural language understanding and computer vision can be solved using methods developed in the field of pattern recognition. |

As shown in a proverb "Seeing is believing," images have important roles to communicate each other and to accumulate knowledge for humans. Especially, people can use image processing applications easily because camera device is installed into almost all mobile devices or image processing coprocessor is installed into every computer. Thus, the program of image recognition and understanding is a very important target for business. Image processing is a set of techniques which process or convert image given by cameras and extract novel information such as information recognition and knowledge understanding from these processes. This class include how to input images to computer, data compression, image process technique such as noise reduction or image condition adjustment, filtering for extracting image feature and recognition and understanding these image features. This class aims to understand image processing by discussing "How to extract novel information from images?" as well as introducing basic image processing techniques. |

This course explores the human-computer interface as used in interactive multimedia, namely the design of realtime computer games and simulations. 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 pandemic situation, some course meetings may be held online, using Zoom to conduct distributed classes, or blended, with both in-person and virtual attendance. |

Signals and systems are present in any aspects of our world. The examples of signals are speech, audio, image and video signals in consumer electronics such as TV, PC, and smartphone; vital signs in medical systems; electronic radar waveforms in military equipment. Signal processing is concerned with the representation, transformation and manipulation of signals, and extraction of the significant information contained in signals. For example, we may wish to remove the noise in speech signals to make them clear, or to enhance an image to make it more natural. Signal processing is one of the fundamental theories and techniques to construct modern information systems. During the last century, lots of theories and methods have been proposed and widely studied in signal processing. This course includes the concept of continuous-time and discrete-time signals, representations of signals in time, frequency, and other transform domains, representations and analyses of systems, filter structures and designs. The course is a prerequisite course for your further studying on other related courses, such as voice processing, image processing, audio and video signal compressing, pattern recognition and classification, biomedical signal processing, development of communication and security systems, and so forth. |

Hearing is arguably the second most important sensory modality and it is sometimes preferable than vision to display and acquire information. For example, a car navigation system delivers guidance using speech, or you verbally ask your mobile phone to dial some number. In this course, we briefly review the main characteristics of sound, audio, and their processing for human-computer interaction. The purpose of this course is two-fold: 1) To learn some techniques used for extracting information from acoustic signals and 2) to use acoustic signals to display information. |

Understanding natural language by computer is a very important technology for communication between human and machine interaction. Also, our real world has so many documents described by natural language. Therefore, the techniques of natural language processing are bases of the information science for understanding it by computers with extracting meaning and reconstruction sentences. In this lecture, we learn about the techniques of natural language processing using Python and Natural Language Toolkit (NLTK) to understand and extract the meanings of sentences and reconstruction or search it. Additionally, we learn the basic techniques of process sentences to apply the other country languages. |
