Computational Linguistics / Theoretical Linguistics (Computational Linguistics Theory) We investigate syntactic and semantic theories of natural language: lexical grammars such as combinatory categorial grammar, and discourse semantics such as dependent type semantics and dynamic logic, together with linguistic phenomena in literature and methodology for verifying and falsifying a theory based on the network of native speakers' judgments. We also discuss the implicature of our theory to such fields as natural language processing, programming language semantics, philosophy of language and cognitive science. |

Nathanaël Aubert-Kato (Associate Prof.) Lab Home Page |
Molecular programming / evolutionary optimization While nowadays computers are usually silicon-based, the concept of computing, as proposed by Alan Turing, is more generic. We focus on molecular programming, a field that relies on encoding data as molecular concentrations and operations as chemical reactions among those molecules. The main issue is programmability: how to turn a given program into a valid set of reactions implementing it? We combine two approaches: computer assistance for human-based designs and evolutionary optimization for automated design discovery. |

Meteorology / Physical Climatology / Atmosphere-ocean data analysis What are the factors and mechanisms that determine the weather and climate on Earth as we know it? We answer this question from the viewpoint of applied mathematics and information sciences. |
| Koko Muroya (Lecturer) |
Program Semantics (Advanced Abstract Mathematics) There are multiple measures of program execution, such as results and cost. Our research is centred around mathematical analysis and comparison of programs by means of these measures. Aiming at contributing to trustable software, in particular software with verified cost, we develop models of program execution and study mathematical techniques for analysing and comparing execution results as well as cost. |
