Welcome to Mine's Laboratory

( Japanese version )

Celebration Party for Graduation on February 17th, 2020

Introduction of Our Laboratory

• We have studied Multi-agent systems and their applications. Recently, we have mainly studied data mining and text mining to extract knowledge and rules from real data so that we can feed the knowledge and rules into multi-agent systems or recommendation systems.
• Our current research topics include, but not limited to, text mining, data mining, natural language processing, information recommendation, information sharing platforms, and multi-agent systems.

What are agents?

• There are many definitions of agents, but we define an agent as a software program which works for humans as their representative.
• Some fundamental characteristics of agents are as follows: Autonomous， Reactive or Sensing and Acting, Goal-oriented or Pro-active or Purposeful, Temporary continuous， Communicative or Sociallyable， Learning or Adaptive， Mobile，Flexible， and Character

What are we doing?

• We currently study data mining and text mining and apply them to various kinds of data so that we can feed the extracted and/or obtained knowledge to multi-agent systems or recommendation systems. We are also interested in personalization and community-based systems using agents.
