We have so many programming languages in the world. In this course, we investigate common concepts behind various programming languages. Our main goal is to gain the fundamental knowledge of computer science such as formal grammar, data types, programming paradigms, etc. through the concepts found in programming languages. Note that we focus on theoretical understanding, not practical skills of programming.
With the impressive developments of ICT, a new field of research on learning called Learning Environment Theory is gaining popularity. In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic is forcing institutions that promote education to make major structural changes. As a result, traditional ideas about the meaning of learning environments, in which formal learning in the classroom and informal learning outside the classroom work together, efforts to create autonomous learning environments are now going through a major transformation.
Learning Environment Theory has connections with a variety of disciplines, including cognitive science, neuroscience, culture, and communication.
In addition to Learning Environment Theory, research on education is exploring the possibility of bringing in new perspectives, such as globalization and education, integrated education/individualized autonomous learning, and situated learning. Consequently, the idea of Environmental Design is gaining importance as well.
In these lectures, four faculty members will discuss ICT-based learning environments based on research in their respective fields at this important time, with the aim of producing human resources with a broad range of knowledge and practical skills: promoting collaboration between those involved in education and those in technology, considering the needs of learners, and developing contents that reflect new learning styles, with emphasis on awareness of the existence of new trends. Students will be invited to articulate proposals for developing learning environments that exploit their creativity in building a new learning environment through theory and practice.
Mobile network becomes an indispensable communication infrastructure not only for 5G/4G service but also for private network such as WiFi, BLE, LPWA and smart grid. The understanding of mobile network requires the fundamental wireless communication technology, international standardization and radio regulations. In this course, we learn those topics with concrete case studies.
What is transculturalism? Is it similar to multiculturalism or interculturalism? For us, it paves the way to a third possibility different from them, and this course aims to bring to light the scope and the potentiality of this concept.
The objective of transculturalism is not only to ensure the coexistence of cultural communities through a public recognition of their plurality. Nor does it simply consist of guaranteeing intercultural communications and compromises in order to protect the rights of citizens and to create national stability.
Transculturalism pays attention primarily to the individual who cuts across cultural borders and to the meaning of her or his experiences as a human subject.
Today, in this globalized world, it is a rather banal experience to encounter foreign cultures and discover others. Transcultural experience, however, is not to observe some cultures from the outside, but to experience them at once from the inside, which requires the individual to call into question her or his proper identity. As it were, because of taking root in several cultural communities through their language, one becomes aware that her or his identity is not entirely defined by her or his belonging to one of these cultures. In this sense, “tranculturation” is nothing less than ”the acquisition of a new code without losing the previous one.” (T.Todorov) Transculturalism, which is neither a shallow cosmopolitanism that ignores communal dimensions of culture, nor an unconditional praise of cultural plurality in its brightness, provides a unique domain and objective of research on human living in this world. This course investigates the meaning of transculturation given to human agents, particularly from the point of view of humanities.
This course employs case studies in its discussion of mobile and distributed programming space programming context-aware programming intellectual information space construction and ubiquitous service architecture.

This course involves the way to acquire meaningful data from the real world as a tool of problem finding and solving. The data source ranges from the space, e.g. environment monitoring, objects around us, which play critical role cyber physical systems, to human as the stakeholder of a problem. Different data sources require different ways to extract data from them, and the correct way must be used to acquire meaningful data. This course overviews social surveys using questionnaire technique, environment monitoring using state-of-art sensing technologies, and data analysis/presentation skills that are common to all the different projects.
Policy issues at urban management.
We study matrices and vectors, in particular, how to solve the simultaneous equation, how to calculate the determinant and the inverse matrices. Moreover,
by abstracting these concepts, we study linear spaces and linear mapping.
Then a matrix can be regarded as a linear mapping. Especially, eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the matrix, and the matrix diagonalization characterize the mapping. We often encounter these concepts in other mathematical fields including statistics.
We overview differential and integral calculus learned at high school. Our aim is to generalize these to functions of several variables. For functions with one variable, first we extend the concept of tangent (linear approximation) to the theory of Taylor (polynomial approximation). As an application, we can solve the extreme problem in detail. For functions of several valuables, derivative is called partial derivative. We extend the theory of Taylor and the extreme problem to functions with several variables. Moreover, we consider integral of functions of several variables, which is called multiple integral. By using this we can obtain volume and area of high dimensional objects.

Instead, we are providing all programs online. There will be 1) individual lectures, 2) joint lectures (Keio-Yonsei-Fudan), 3) students workshops and presentations.
This class aims for enhancing your understanding of contemporary international political economy mainly in Northeast Asia (also expands in East Asia, Asia-Pacific and Indo-Pacific) through examining theories of regionalism/regional integration, policy frameworks and practices.
Region is a dynamic concept. The main objective of this course is to explore dynamic natures of the “region” through learning historical backgrounds, perspective of multi-layered stakeholders (regional organizations, states, private sectors, individuals), and through various issue areas.
Re-mapping the region is the basic approach of this class. Through examining different issue areas and case studies including: 1) trade and investment, 2) comparative politics, 3) security and military, 4) society and culture etc., the class will encourage students to explore, based on your own interests, new approaches to re-construct the region.
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 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.
