Data Science for Understanding and Leading the Herd

Graduate School of Information Science

Professor Hiroaki Kawashima

I am conducting research on interactions between humans, between organisms, and between humans and machines. In particular, I am currently using computer vision and machine learning techniques to track the location of individual fish in schools captured by cameras, and to express their movements as a school using mathematical formulas. In addition to elucidating the mechanism of schooling, we are attempting to induce schooling by using pseudo-individuals, which, if realized, could have applications in aquaculture and other industries.
