Recent advance in brain science has revealed some mechanisms of knowledge processing in the human brain. We study the knowledge processing about how the visual and auditory systems acquire and process knowledge derived from the external environment, how the memory system retains such knowledge, how the multimodal knowledge processing is achieved, and so on, from a neuroscience point of view. In parallel, they learn anatomical brain structures and pathways, and experience peripheral and central illusions to understand knowledge processing phenomenologically.
The core of the human intelligence lies in the fact that people learn and behave in a "situated" manner, dependent on the situation they are in. However, how human intelligence possesses that "situatedness" is still a mystery. Past researches on AI have not yet obtained any answers, even hypotheses.
Although the technology about deep learning is expected to bring huge impact on changes of the world, it theoretically will not give any answers to this problem at all.
This is the PROBLEM the current AI is faced with.
It is a high and hard obstacle. As long as the researchers do not get some ideas to go over it, the AI researches will not get a new future.
Having provided about this problem of AI, this lecture aims to encourage students think of their own intelligence.
The purpose of the course is to approach human (in)security by examining the role of the state in its services to the people, the services that the state can provide, and the extent to which the state services can reach out for its people. Examining risks presented to the individuals due to the lack of services and/or the limited coverage of existing services are also another focus of the course. The role of the government (acting in the name of the state), theoretically speaking, is to design policies and offer services to its people and in return, people pay taxes in order to enjoy the services provided, that is, public goods. Depending on the extension of services it can provide can one state be considered either a night watchman state or a welfare state. How do the people carry out their daily life given the presence/absence of the protection from its state in a certain area? Even where the state is involved, there is no assurance that such policies and/or services are comprehensive enough to cover everyone, or even effective for many. Furthermore, even with these problems, these policies and services may either give so little autonomy to their beneficiaries (people). The course will use examples of health, police, education, etc as illustrations to examine how different types of states deal with each issue and how their approach influences the living of its people.
Computers and artifacts around us are getting complicated, and human-computer interface technologies for those machines are becoming very important. When a user feels that a system is too complicated and difficult to use, it is usually not because the user is not trained enough, but the human interface of the system is not well-designed.
In this lecture, we learn various aspects of human-computer interaction and discover how we can design user-friendly systems. We first learn the basic concepts of human-computer interface, and view the usability issues from the viewpoint of cognitive science. We learn the difference between a good interface design and a bad one by investigating many existing systems. We learn various new technologies for improving user experiences, and finally we'll get the whole knowledge for designing better interactive systems.
(This class will be taught on-line. Students are required to actively participate with their cameras on.)
This postgraduate HC program course focuses on the interrelationships between language and society. Emphasising the linguistic-social-cultural diversity and the accompanying issues of language inequality, we will focus on linguistic policy, language education, heritage language, indigenous language, oral narratives, language revitalisation, among others, to explore the intersecting realms of multilingualism and multiculturalism. We will approach these research areas from the disciplinary bases of sociolinguistics and linguistic anthropology, especially the critical theory strand within these disciplines. There will be a core reading assigned with accompanying reference materials, and the course will consist of reading seminars of the core text, followed by student research presentations around the topics covered in the reading material.

"Gut microbiota control our behavior! "
"It's actually the bacteria in our gut that makes us fat!"
The truth is that all of this sounds like a lie. It is estimated that there are as many, if not more, intestinal bacteria living in our intestinal tract, than there are cells in our entire body. Gut microbiota has various effects on our body by crosstalk with host intestinal neurons, endocrine cells, and immune cells. In this lecture, the functions of the gut microbiota that contribute to the maintenance and promotion of host health will be outlined. In addition, the roles of the gut microbiota in the development of the intestinal immune system, various diseases caused by imbalances in the gut microbiota, and methods of disease prevention and treatment through appropriate control of gut microbiota will be explained, including the latest findings.
