About Data Management Lab.

We focus on issues related to management of data, including but not limited to those listed below: "data mining and discovery science", "a large-scale data warehouse and large-scale information processing", "information retrieval", "the information processing technology for CRM (Customer Relationship Management)", "bioinfomatics", etc. Data is the essence of information systems and the issues related to data management have always been one of the most important research topics. Among them, we have been focused on data mining, technologies of information retrieval and knowledge discovery from large-scale information resources such as data warehouse, world wide web, and so forth. Huge amount of new information is created in each year and the amount is expected to grow rapidly. Therefore, data mining becomes much more important. We aim to produce the data management specialist who learned advanced data analysis capability and information processing capability for large-scale information resources and aim to produce widely recognized research works on this fields. Students who are interested in data mining are eligible to be a member of our research projects. We welcome students from all over the world.
