Project Research (English-based Undergraduate Program, 3rd-year, Fall)

3rd-year students in English-based Undergraduate Program can take ``Research Project A'' in Fall semester. The briefing session and study session will be conducted in association with Perceptual Computing Laboratory (Prof. Tetsunori Kobayashi and Prof. Yoshihiko Hayashi). The procedure of ``Research Project A'' in Media Intelligence Laboratory has three options as follows:

1. Let's work on ``problems with prospect of success'' that are prepared by our laboratory. Students who would like to experience our actual research projects can choose this option.

2. Let's work on ``problems presented in challenges or competitions e.g., kaggle and SIGNATE. Students who would like to get some knowledge and experience on machine learning and deep learning tools can choose this option.

3. Let's work on ``problems proposed by students themselves'' that are related to acoustics and speech processing, image and video processing, pattern recognition, and machine learning.

Specific projects will be decided in consideration of discussions with professors. In general, a graduate student will be assinged as a mentor to each student or each group. From 2018, the option 1 has been recommended.

• Speaker separation in multiparty conversation using close-talking microphone array (Option 1)

• Earthquake detection using convolutional neural networks (Option 1)

• Spammer detection for reliable crowdsourcing (Option 1)

• Speech intention estimation using neural networks (Option 1)

• Age and gender estimation from speech (Option 2)
