Short biog

Yutaka Watanobe is currently a full professor at the School of Computer Science and Engineering, The University of Aizu, Japan. He received his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from The University of Aizu in 2004 and 2007 respectively. He was a Research Fellow of the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS) at The University of Aizu in 2007. He is now a director of i-SOMET. He was a coach of several ICPC World Final teams. He is a developer of the Aizu Online Judge (AOJ) system. His research interests include software engineering, machine learning, data mining, cloud robotics, innovative education, and visual languages.









The convergence of IT and big-data is creating more convenient and secure services, things, and environments. Data science and software engineering are the disciplines that support this growth of society. At Watanabe Laboratory, we conduct a wide range of research and development, from the theory of data structures, algorithms, and models for efficiently handling data to the implementation of programming techniques for generating and discovering data. For example, we conduct research and development of data mining and machine learning algorithms for discovering valuable knowledge from large-scale data, as well as programming languages and user interfaces that support user understanding and manipulation.

These days, there is an urgent need to train engineers skilled in data science and software development. In particular, programming is a means to realize all kinds of systems and computations, and is an indispensable skill for the development of modern society and science. Therefore, our laboratory is also developing smart educational support systems that apply the results of our research in data science and software engineering.

Online Judge System


AOJ

Programming has become a viable method for realizing all kinds of systems and computations, and has become an indispensable skill for the development of modern society and science. Nowadays, there is an urgent need to train engineers skilled in data science and software development. Programming, in particular, has become a requirement in education and recurrent education is also important.

Watanabe Laboratory has been developing and operating the Online Judge System, a technology that automatically grades programs created by learners online. In particular, we are working on the following research topics:

  • Architecture of the automatic program evaluation system
  • Security of the automated program evaluation system
  • Feedback to support learning (see Smart Learning, Intelligent Software Engineering)

Smart Learning


Data Mining

The SDGs include the goal of "quality education for all”. Particularly in skills training, which is impossible to acquire through knowledge input, educational gaps occur in various fields such as secondary / higher education, corporate training, recurrent education, and independent learning. The main cause of this is a lack of instructors, which cannot be solved immediately. One way to continuously provide equal education and eliminate educational disparities is so-called Virtual TA created by technology.

In Watanabe Laboratory, we are working on the following research topics in order to construct a learning environment that supports autonomous learning. In particular, we are developing theories and systems specifically for programming education, which has recently gained importance.

  • Programming languages that enable intuitive and direct understanding and description of data structures and algorithms
  • AI models that support autonomous learning in various learning processes
  • A theory of building adaptive user interfaces that control autonomous learning
  • Educational data mining to improve educational methods and construction of models
Keywords: Educational data mining, AI-driven education, adaptive user interface, autonomous learning, etc.

Intelligent Software Engineering


*AIDA

In Society 5.0, artificial intelligence and IoT will become major technologies that will make people's lives more convenient and affluent. On the other hand, from the viewpoint of "humans being able to understand information resources (software and data) appropriately and to create information resources themselves in a format that is easy for others to understand," the digital divide, or education gap, must be resolved.

The environment for developers is improving with advances in programming languages, frameworks, and development environments. On the other hand, as software systems become more complex and there are concerns about a shortage of human resources, there are still various problems related to productivity (missed deadlines, etc.), defects (damage caused by bugs), and management (reuse and correction, long-term technical transfer). These are perennial issues in software engineering, many of which stem from the design of computer-oriented programming languages and their difficulties. Since information resources are created by programming, programming is one of the major technologies that widely affect the world. Therefore, Watanabe Laboratory is working on the following topics with the aim of solving the digital divide and education gaps.

  • Next-generation programming language, which enables the description of models, codes, and documents; programming environment; information resources and knowledge representation methods; and big information resource concept.
  • Artificial intelligence and data science-based coding support
  • High-level query languages and query interfaces to databases
Keywords: software engineering, programming environment, programming language, user interface, AI for code, visual programming, query interface, etc.


Programmable Robots


Robotics

In this project, we are developing software library of robotic technology components based on standardized middleware. Especially, data acquisition techniques for cloud robotic environments are considered.

Keywords: Cloud robotics, ROS, RT-middleware, etc.
