FACULTY OF INTELLIGENCE AND INFORMATICS
Department of Intelligence and Informatics
An education and research department for understanding cutting edge theories and algorithms of computer science and creating innovative artificial intelligence technology.
The Faculty of Intelligence and Informatics aims to nurture students with basic academic knowledge, creativity and practical abilities so that they may assume leadership roles in the international information society. Emphasis is placed on flexibility and problem-solving ability.
The abbreviation for information technology, IT, can also be interpreted as “Intelligence Technology.” Courses in our six programs (Cloud Systems, AI Data Science, Intelligent Robots, Media Design, Human Sensing, and Mathematical Information) are helping to pioneer the new information age.
Cloud Systems course support understanding the Internet System, developing software, and the realization of safe network environment.
AI Data Science course teache deep learning and machine learning technologies, where students can acquire skills of analysis and application of “big data”, as well as developing methods of AI applications.
Intelligent Robots course teaches Robot Engineering based on sensor and control technologies, where students can design and develop useful robotsfor daily life.
In Media Design course, students are able to learn data representation and designing methods for video and audio production, and they can develop intuitive techniques of information media that reach five human senses.
In Human Sensing course, students can learn properties of human actions and transmission of information, which are applied to developing methods for creating good relations between humans and computers.
In Mathematical Information course, students can get the capability of mathematical logic and information technology with which they can play important roles in the global world. It is also possible to acquire a teacher’s license of mathematics.
