Entrance Exam Information

Environment

The laboratory is equipped with individual seating with an expanded display. Most of the students sit on Ergohuman chairs. A Windows laptop PC is assigned to each student when he/she needs. There are many servers (RTX4090*4, RTX3090*12, etc.) for deep learning that can be accessed from the inside and outside of lab. We are able to provide a comfortable computing and experimental environment because of our relatively ample research funds.

When you join the lab, you will first learn OpenCV, TensorflowxKeras and IoT in brief. Most of research is coded in Python, but even if you have no experience with Python, you will be able to get used to it quickly. In the first few months, you will have to acquire basic knowledge of image processing, AI and IoT before you can start your research. The first research topic will be assigned from the tasks of an ongoing project.

There is a large refrigerator, the department’s most complete sink, microwave, kettle, rice cooker, etc., as well as air conditioning, air purifiers, humidifiers, and color printers. Lab members are free to come and go as they want.

Electronic parts and related books are freely available next to the meeting space. We can quickly get what we need for our research from Amazon. The space will be open to students outside of the laboratory, after the society returns to health.

Lab activity

We want to avoid having too many events, as our primary concern is to ensure substantial research progress.

Weekly meetings

Every Monday and Thursday, you will make a brief progress report on your research work. If you have a problem in your work, please do not wait for the next meeting.

Conference & Journals

We recommend active contributions to journals and international conferences. Basically, we provide full support wherever you go in the world.

TA/RA

Students of our laboratory are expected to work as a TA(teaching assistant) or a RA(research assistant) with part-time job fee.

In many exercise course of CS, the help of TAs (teaching assistant) are important. TAs support the students of the class, and assist teachers on scoring reports. RAs (research assistant) are hired within their research activities. You can kill more than two birds with a stone – you gain money, learn from activities themselves, be evaluated when you quest for a job or apply for scholarship refund exemption.

When you assist other research projects with budged allocated, part-time job fee may be paid. In that case, you have to join an experiment as a subject, make a program, or report the results of the experiment.
