The development and diffusion of science innovative technologies is indispensable for modern society. However, despite its benefits, the development of science and technology is not without various risks and social problems. So far as we are going to make societal decisions for the use of science and technologies with diverse social implications that encompass both risks and benefits, sometimes involving values implications, there is a need for mechanisms of decision making and management of the development and utilization of science and technology. Decisions can be different depending on environmental, institutional and cultural conditions. In addition, innovative policy instruments/ mechanisms to deal with rapidly changing science and technology, including regulatory measures, are required for implementing decisions. This course will deal with wide range of issues from local to global levels faced at the interface areas between science, technology and public policy from comparative perspective of Japan, the US and Europe. It offers key theoretical issues surrounding Science and Technology and provides students with the tools and frameworks, such as risk assessment/ management and transition management, to analyze them. This course invites students from both natural science backgrounds (i.e. the graduate school of engineering, new frontier science and so on) and social science backgrounds (graduate school of public policy, law and politics, and economics and public policy). We expect students to acquire interdisciplinary perspective in addition to their primary major, which is one of the critical skill in analyzing complex social technical issues posed by science and technology.

二年後期授業「信号解析基礎」の内容を受け，フーリエ変換を基本とした離散時間信号の処理手法について学ぶ。また，フーリエ変換に基づく信号処理の問題点についても解説し，ウェーブレット変換の考え方についても述べる。 Following the class of "Fundamentals of signal analysis", this lecture provides students with knowledge of discrete signal processing mainly based on Fourier analysis and its digital version. Further, some inherent problems of Fourier analysis are also pointed out and fundamentals of wavelet analysis are explained as one of the solutions.

This course is designed for students whose Japanese language levels are intermediate (L4-L5). The aim of this course is to provide students with the writing and speaking skills they need for different purposes. They will explore and practice writing and speaking in a variety of situations in order to communicate their intended meaning. Students will develop their confidence and skills receiving feedback on their production and performance from their instructor and the other participants. The objectives of this course are: 1) to understand the basic structure of an essay and speech, 2) to put into active use their knowledge of previously leaned grammar, vocabulary and expressions, 3) to increase lexical and grammatical knowledge of intermediate Japanese, 4) to express own ideas and contribute to constructive discussions, 5) to identify and monitor the strength and weakness of the own language ability, and 6) to gauge own Japanese learning progress.

前半では信号処理，機械学習，音声言語/自然言語処理の基礎事項を整理し，後半ではより応用に近い内容に踏み込んで講義する． 以下の講義日程はあくまで予定であり，詳細は初回講義時にアナウンスする．

The class studies business/technical strategy and product development. Even though the first part of the class title says "management of technology..”, it will cover broader scope of business strategy since business and technology are tightly integrated today. We will first study the basic concepts of business strategy covering strategic positioning, organizational capabilities, and major strategy frameworks with examples. Then, we will look at key strategy frameworks in fast changing environment that has become critical in the current age. We will then shift our focus to product development, and will study basics of product development with emphasis on the evolution of product development processes and product lifecycle. We will then look at digital products and study the notions of product discovery and delivery that have become increasingly prevalent today. The class will close by looking at the implications of digital technology to major strategic frameworks studied in the class.

人間が行う知識や情報の処理をコンピュータで再現しようとする試みは、古くから続けられてきました。その成果として、線形分離に優れたサポートベクトルマシンや、現在さまざまな分野で活用されている深層学習が挙げられます。これらのアルゴリズムでは、たとえば0と1のような単純な出力しか持たないモデルを複数組み合わせることで、より複雑な情報の記憶や処理が可能になります。この講義では、コンピュータが知識や情報をどのように処理しているかを可視化しながら学び、機械学習の本質を理解することを目指します。

日本語のようにあまり小さくない「国民国家」の公用語には、母語として自然に身に付くわけでは必ずしもない技術的な言語操作の領域が接続している。これらは言語学や語学が扱うものではない（例えばイスラエルがパレスチナでやっていることが「ジェノサイド犯罪」であることを確認する作業は一般の市民が普通に行うことであるが、その際に「ジェノサイド犯罪」の意味を言語学者にきくことはせず、ジェノサイド条約と国際刑事裁判所ローマ規程を参照する）。この領域のかなりが、現在の中等教育まで（高等学校まで）のカリキュラムの枠組みが成立した19世紀後半よりも後に発達したものであり、従って、明示的に学習の対象となっていない。本セミナーはそのような領域が存在することそしてその位置付けを確認し、言語のテクノロジーの初歩の初歩を理解することを目的とする。 The sphere of the learned use of languages has been developed in the past 150 years. It is apparently indistinguishable from "native language" in larger languages including Japanese, but the skill to manipulate it cannot be obtained naturally. This seminar introduces this area of language, with special reference to the technologies of language (not NLPs) and terminology.
