Amid the emergence of new forms of expression using various digital technologies, media art expression has attracted particular attention.
This lecture will focus on three main topics:
Reconfirming the position and significance of media art
Reviewing past works
Creating actual media art artistic expressions
As for the technology to realize the expression, we will pay particular attention to machine learning and AI technology. After reviewing the context of existing works, each participant will work on their own work.
In this lecture, data security will be explained from a conceptual, technical, operational and policy perspective. The concept section provides the value of data and the concepts of security goals such as confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The technical section focus on cryptographic theory and key management and deepen the understanding of the basic technical terms and their understanding. The operation section provides actual examples in public systems, financial systems and control systems, which are examples of social implementation of data security. The policy section provides an overview of the latest status regarding data security in Japan, the United States, and Europe.
In 2020 and beyond, we are faced with Covid19 and the various social changes cascading from it. This virus is spreading through the physical connections between people, and it is also affecting the various traditions, cultures and systems that humanity has created analogously.
At the same time, the world built by the digital revolution has strengthened our virtual connections, and cutting-edge technologies such as media, bio, nano, AI, robotics, and space are interacting with the ever-changing global landscape, inviting us into the unknown.
How will we face these dramatic changes, how will we have our own compass, and how will we live in the new future? We believe that we need a more three-dimensional, interdisciplinary, experiential forum for discussion that cannot be shared by traditional media journalism.
In this course, we envision Artistic Journalism as a new media, place, and system for broadly experiencing and discussing the future. Throughout history, mankind has created the future through the invention of new arts and technologies to overcome various difficulties.
Through the activities of Ars Electronica, based in Austria-Lintz, we will create a dialogue with new knowledge that cannot be conveyed by books, newspapers and online media alone, and discuss how to apply this dialogue to future policy.
One of the essences of AI technology is the automation of intellectual labor. One of the extremes of intellectual labor is natural science research as well as artistic and creative activities. Actually, in the field of advanced scientific research, the rapid spread of information technology and robotics including AI is progressing, and the future image of the progress of scientific research itself being greatly accelerated by AI is coming soon.
In this course, students will learn how AI connected to experimental robots can discover new knowledge through repetitive experiments and hands-on exercises. Using a liquid handling robot that can be controlled using the Python programming language as a course material, students will experience the physicality of robots and how scientific experiments can be automated by robots by running the robot with programs written by the students and by performing the same experiments with their own bodies. In this course, students will learn about the physicality of robots and how scientific experiments can be automated by robots.
This course offers an introduction to the rapidly-growing field of probabilistic computing, which brings together probabilistic modeling and inference techniques with symbolic computation and neural networks. Students will see a broad range of probabilistic computing applications, and will gain familiarity with how to frame artificial intelligence tasks as the problem of probabilistic inference in a generative model. Students will also learn about several inference techniques, and understand the distinctions between probabilistic computing and other machine learning methods.
Unlike "building" as an existence and "construction" as an activity, "architecture" is an idea and a concept. If the consciousness of artificial work on the environment is the origin of architecture, it is rather natural that it is the most primitive intellectual creation act of mankind, and that it is a comprehensive and boundary existence that has corresponds with all areas. Currently, the research subjects and activity areas that architecture should deal with are dynamically expanding and merging due to various factors such as social changes, progress of computerization, and needs for coexistence with the natural environment. Today, the ability to cooperate with other fields in various aspects, from aspects such as urban development planning to devising construction technology, is necessary for a practical experience in the field of architecture, . In SFC, "architecture" is not fixed or dogmatic, but exists as a common item of creative and comprehensive intellectual activities across faculty members with various areas of interest. On top of that, in order to acquire the ability to carry out this on a realistic social system, the students will get review on their project of "architecture" that is being tackled from a different approach depending on each research theme. The purpose is to acquire the ability to expand the architectural domain and realize the fusion with new fields by exchanging it in and comprehensively verifying it from the viewpoint related to the practice of architecture.
Students will learn "the art of knowledge compilation" through interactive communications with lectures, guest lectures, and searching and reporting experience based on learning experience from spring semester.
While clarifying the evolution of the policy-making process, where we are now and the challenges we face, we will consider how we can establish an ideal policy-making process. The students will then learn methods to engage in building and participating in the policy-making process of the future in order to significantly change society for the better.
Following the Coronavirus pandemic, cities around the world have entered an new era in which we must fundamentally rethink methods of urban development that were once considered common sense. What kind of urban future should we envision in the VUCA (Volatile・Uncertain・Complex・Ambiguous) world?
The economy and fabric of cities transform due to various factors, as do their spatial qualities. In this course, we will explore the goals of urbanization, the conditions that shape these goals, and the factors and mechanisms of real estate development. We will investigate the cause of transformations in urban economy and space, citing specific examples of real estate and investment case studies from Japan and abroad.
In addition, we will welcome a professor of MIT who teaches real estate design and a developper in the United States to discuss the future of urban development and consider the future of Japanese cities. At the same time, we will explore the possibilities of real estate design in the post-corona era, considering local values and the rise of the sharing economy.
Although the transition to a digital society has been gradual, COVID-19 has raised expectations for digitalization. In this context, the Internet and the Web have developed as the digital society's foundation and have defined data transfer protocols. However, many data management systems, including establishing digital identity management to identify oneself in cyberspace, are siloed and dependent on individual services such as platform providers. There is little possibility of external verification; thus, users are forced to believe the service providers. To break through this situation, the "Trusted Web Promotion Council" was launched by the Cabinet Secretariat in October 2020, and the "Trusted Web White Paper ver. 2.0" was published in July 2022. The Trusted Web architecture proposes a new framework that increases the degree of Trust (in other words, the degree to which the other party behaves as expected) by an approach that creates an overlay on top of the current Internet.
In response to this trend, a group of faculty members in charge of the project established the Trusted Internet Architecture Lab at the SFC Research Institute in collaboration with Fujitsu Limited, intending to construct a new Internet architecture with Trust in mind so that people can use the Internet with confidence. The "Trusted Internet Architecture Lab" was established as a laboratory of the SFC Research Institute in collaboration with Fujitsu Limited.
When students try to understand the Trusted Internet, it is necessary to foster systematic knowledge from multiple perspectives. Therefore, firstly, this lecture will provide an understanding of the concept of the Trusted Web, which establishes a framework that allows for increased Trust in the Internet. Secondly, this lecture also provides an overview of the basic knowledge required to implement the Trusted Internet and how learners can combine basic knowledge to achieve it. Through this course, we aim to develop human resources who understand the concepts of the Trusted Web and Trusted Internet, which are expected to develop in the future, and who can help build the next generation ICT infrastructure.
The lecture will consist of four parts. First, the lecture will summarize the discussions leading up to the Trusted Web and discuss digital identity-related technologies. Secondly, the lecture will review the components of each application service that uses digital identities, the technologies required to build digital identities, and how these components have been assembled. Third, we will introduce the recently standardized Verifiable Credentials technology, the essential technology for building the Trusted Web, and explain how this technology allows Trust to be freely expressed. Fourth, we will deepen our understanding of the possibilities by knowing and understanding various use cases. Furthermore, we introduce the importance of international standardization in these discussions, and we will also discuss the importance of non-technical factors such as governance in actual deployment and operation. In addition to a certain depth of understanding of these technologies, we aim to develop human resources who can contribute to designing and constructing advanced and trustworthy digital systems by developing a comprehensive discussion of their actual use, standardization, and governance.
In this lecture, we will focus on "emotions" and their interaction, which are indispensable to human behavior, and think practically about our daily expressive activities and communication, taking clues from the joint research project "The Identity of Expressive Power" that we have been working on with professional actors.
This lecture does not aim to improve or acquire emotional expression skills. The aim is to understand the ambiguous and complex nature of human "emotions" and their interactions and to try to develop sensitivity to them.
In particular, it is subject to get the teacher's license of junior high school social studies.
Therefore, it will "Teacher Training Registration" already finished person to, or after the next fiscal year to those who are planning the "teacher-training course registration" with the main target. However, even if you do not wish a particular teaching profession at the moment, if you would like to discuss the Japanese history from the pedagogical point of view, it does not have this limitation.
Instead of an overview of the whole era (primitive-modern) of Japanese history, it will be handled mainly centered on modern history. Especially through the reading of such letters and autobiography of Yukichi Fukuzawa, it is scheduled to try the discussion of the late 19th century Japan. Through them, we hope to be a chance to think about the history studies and history education.
Classes will centered on the lecture format, but also make appropriate tasks such as reading comprehension of the original historical materials. There are also several times report. For more information we'll explain at the time of the first round of classes.
This course is for the students who want to take the licence for the social studies teacher in japan, and who want to study historography in Europe.
One of the most frequently used words is "strategy". However, there are cases in which people who are not understanding even from the distinction between strategy and tactics make influential remarks in public places. This course aims to understand the essence of strategic decision making that appears in various fields and to acquire basic ideas useful for problem finding and solving in each area of interest of each student. In addition, we would like to have some useful hints on how to design a system that is preferable from a social point of view in some sense (although it is also a subject of consideration) against such entities that make strategic decision making.
Based on these problem consciousness, we learn the essence of noncooperative game theory which can be applied to each case of individual field such as economy, business, political process, international relations, etc., and also briefly touch on some results of recent experimental economics. In addition, considering why it is difficult to realize desirable policies from a viewpoint of public choice theory, we will examine the theoretical basis on which we make normative judgment with reference to Amartya Sen's normative economics.
Modern society is facing a variety of challenges, such as climate change mitigation and adaptation, population growth and decline, urban expansion and contraction. We should not be troubled by these challenges as intractable problems, but see them as a great opportunity to change the way we think, live, and work, and to shift our society to a new paradigm. In this class, we will look at the global environment from this broad perspective and study the scientific basis of the global warming problem. Then, we will take up various global and local examples of climate change mitigation and adaptation measures, and extract policy and action patterns that combine individual and public interests. Through this process, students will learn the basics of global warming issues and develop an interdisciplinary perspective to solve them. Students will also acquire the skills necessary for research through literature survey, problem setting, and planning exercises.
This course aims to understand the most advanced researches of the Graduate Project on Global Governance and Regional Governance (GR).
In this course, faculty members of GR project and guest speakers will have lectures on advanced research in each research field. This course will cover very wide aspects such as disciplines, research methods, approaches and many regions; and such knowledge would be helpful for policy making and finding resolutions of complicated problems.
GR students are strongly recommended to attend, but students from other projects are also welcome.
