Human-Centered AI Laboratory (XIE LAB) at JAIST
Our group is conducting a broad range of research projects about Human-Centered AI, especially focuses on Image Generative AI, Computer Graphics, Physical AI, Robotic Learning, Human-AI Interaction and Human Augmentation. Our mission is to build foundation models and its user interfaces for Human-centered AI to augment human capabilities. We are actively looking for self-motivated students (both Master and PhD courses), especially the students with strong CS/Engineering/Design background. If you are interested in our group, please feel free to contact me and consider applying our Admission program. (Please refer laboratory guide EN / JP.)
