Special Education Programs

Multifaceted ambitious DX human resource development program

Program Outlines

Through scientific research that unravels the principles behind phenomena, this program aims to cultivate the next generation of data scientists who can confront global challenges with a multifaced perspective of both a DX-based (data-driven) and a mathematical insight-based (hypothesis-driven).
Students who complete this program will receive a certificate at the end of their Master’s (MC) or Doctoral (DC) programs.

Introduction of the Featured Program
Data Science Special Exercise “Data-Science Case Study I・II”

Thursday, September 26 and Friday, September 27, 2024 (2-day intensive)

It often could occur that the common sense of one laboratory becomes the blind spot of another laboratory even in the same graduate school or department due to the rapid advancement of data science technology and method. These subjects are the core subjects of this program and are the only required credits for this program, and aim to enable students to communicate their research contents and results to other students in different research fields, with data science as a cross-cutting point. This program aims to enhance the ability to present and assert as well as enrich multiple viewpoints by having DC students give presentations in English and MC students listen to those presentations. We expect students to enhance their skills for grasping data science by efficiently reaffirming the position and usefulness of various methods through the discussion in this exercise.
