In this laboratory, we are engaged in research in the area of Behavioral Data Science, with a focus on approaches in the field of computer science, such as data engineering and machine learning. Behavioral Data Science is a research area that aims to understand the characteristics of human behavior and psychology and to utilize human behavior data by combining "knowledge related to behavior in the behavioral sciences such as psychology, economics, sociology, etc." and "approaches in the field of computer science such as computer science, data engineering, information systems, etc.". Currently, we are mainly focusing on the following human behaviors, but we plan to conduct research on a wide range of human behaviors, including but not limited to the following.
Human mobility in urban areas
Behaviors toward Well-Being
Behaviors for browsing and transmitting information on the Web
