Tohoku University Graduate School of Information Sciences Computation Theory Laboratory Call for Applications: Professor

About this position

[Background of the recruitment and description of the project]

• Background of the recruitment and description of the project

With the rapid advancement of artifi cial intelligence technologies, intelligent information processing—which extracts knowledge from massive amounts of data to achieve advanced recognition, reasoning, and decision-making—is growing increasingly important as a societal infrastructure. Its applications span a wide range of fields, including image and video analysis, biometrics, medical informatics, and autonomous systems. To further advance these highly sophisticated intelligent systems, it is essential to integrally develop foundational technologies, such as algorithms and learning theory, alongside applied technologies, such as machine learning, pattern recognition, and perceptual information processing, in addition to the classical theory of computation.

This Laboratory promotes cutting-edge academic research and education in the theory of computation, encompassing learning theory, machine learning, pattern recognition, and intelligent information processing. In particular, we aim to pioneer theories and technologies that underpin the recognition, understanding, and utilization of diverse forms of information, with a focus on image and video data. To this end, we conduct comprehensive research spanning from fundamental theory to practical application.

Furthermore, by realizing intelligent information systems that contribute to solving real-world challenges, we are dedicated to cultivating the talent that will lead the next generation of information science.
