Intelligent Media Processing Research Team

Team Outline

Our research team is working towards the development of AI technologies that can recognize and understand various "media" such as audio, video, text, and other sensory data in an integrated manner. Through the research and development on a variety of real-world data, we will contribute to support a wide range of fields including not only the human behavior analysis but also industrial machinery/infrastructure.
