「知能の出現と進化」が、私の研究の統一的なテーマです。
この遠大なテーマに対しては、広範なアプローチが必要となります。
まず、基礎的な研究課題として、形態形成、特に神経回路網の発生が、
どの様に行われているのか、さらにどの様に進化してきたのかを
計算という観点から解明したいと考えています。
また、「知能は進化の副産物」であるという観点から、
情動や選択注意という現象を、遺伝的監視理論や能動認知理論
を基盤に、より生命的側面から研究して行きたいと考えています。
将来的には、共生システム理論とでも呼べるような理論体系を
構築したいと考えています。
これらの基礎理論は、柔軟な実時間翻訳システムや
エンターテイメントに利用されると考えています。
The unified theme of my research is "emergence and evolution of
intelligence". Diverse approach must be taken to tackle this grand
problem. As a basic research, I am focusing on computional aspects
of the evolution of neurogenesis and morphogenesis.
Research on the high-level intelligence is based on the
genetic supervision theory and active perception, so that phenomena
such as emotion and selective attention can be incorporated.
In the long run, these issues will be integrated as ``Symbiotic
Systems Theory''.
A robust real-time translation of closed-caption and entertainment
applications are expected fruits of these basic research.
