Research Themes for Internship

Now recruiting: NII International Internship Program

We have two ways to accept graduate students from abroad as internship students.The first is NII International Internship Program. Master's and/or Ph.D. students, who are enrolled in the partner institutions that have signed MOU agreement with NII, can be applied to the program through partner institutions. Applications directly sent to me are not accepted. The second is JSPS Summer Program, and the applications should be sent to JSPS. Basically I accept students only by two ways above, but occasionally I accept students from other ways. The following shows research themes for the internship.

  1. Digital Humanities: Machine learning for image processing (esp. character recognition), geographic information, linked data, metadata management, and data infrastructure for cultural big data
  2. Earth Environmental Informatics: Big data analytics (esp. image processing, remote sensing, and machine learning) for solving environmental and societal problems
  3. Crisis Informatics: Big data analytics (esp. image processing, natural language processing, and machine learning) for natural disasters and crisis
  4. Open Science: Research on a new trend in science, such as open data, data citation, citizen science, and open innovation
