The Natural Language Processing Laboratory (Yamada Lab) at the Faculty of Information Science and Technology, Tokyo University of Science conducts research on large language models (LLMs) and AI agents to develop AI that draws on diverse knowledge to reason, plan, and act autonomously.
Current Research Focus
Search Agents
We study AI that autonomously repeats cycles of search and reasoning across diverse sources, including the web, academic literature, and internal organizational documents, integrating the information it gathers to provide answers grounded in evidence.
Large Language Models (LLMs)
We study models that can flexibly handle diverse types of knowledge, including advanced specialist knowledge, knowledge specific to an organization or individual, and knowledge that requires frequent updates.
