Research Summary

Our team focuses on the dynamical structures underlying data-generating mechanisms, developing machine learning theories and algorithms for their prediction and control. At the same time, by leveraging the dynamical-system perspective of information processing in machine learning, we establish novel machine learning principles and develop models and algorithms based on these principles.

Research Subjects:

Machine learning based on dynamics in data generation mechanisms
Machine learning for analysis, prediction and control of dynamical systems
Application of developed methods to scientific and engineering data
