To enrich structural university and graduate school education, faculty development (FD) activities are conducted to improve faculty education and research guidance capabilities. In terms of the content of FD activities, classroom observation between faculty members and participation in seminars and training events at the institution level can be considered. As a part of these activities, many universities...
There is a call for an increase to education quality in response to FD (Faculty Development) activities becoming mandatory due to a revision of the University Establishment Standards in 2008. A survey on lectures was carried out as part of FD activities and used for improving lectures based on lecture evaluation and satisfaction from students. However, it is difficult to give an objective evaluation...
A Two types of classification methods are applied performing classification using machine learning: (1) those for which there is a presumption of data distribution using kernel functions, such as in support vector machine (SVM) and (2) those for which data distribution is not presumed, such as the k-NN. With such methods, it is easy to obtain data whose values are close for the class as a whole. In...
Many web services posting short comments such as product reviews and Twitter have been provided. We consider that automatic and accurate text classification may lead to develop new web services and system. In the past, the frequency of appearance of words by bag-of-words have been often used for text classification as a basic technique. In contrast, we propose a technique to classify tweets using...

For example, on map search sites you can find the location of an establishment on a map, however, you cannot obtain information about the establishment itself...
For students from countries which do not use kanji, learning the Japanese language, particularly the memorization of kanji, is quite difficult. Moreover, it is believed that an inability to read kanji makes it difficult to comprehend lectures. Therefore, in an effort to improve the level of comprehension of the kanji used in lectures and the content of the lectures themselves, we developed a learning...
Many universities are now using Video On Demand (VOD) lectures, which utilize the Internet to conduct lectures. However, because current systems are yet to implement search functionality for VOD, users must search manually by selecting movies based on their titles, playing a portion of the movies, and searching for the contents they are seeking. This study aims to create a search function that allows...
A number of universities currently utilize VOD in e-Learning systems, a form of blended learning that combines WBT (Web-Based Training) with classroom instruction. Many universities also offer e-Learning lectures, which offer slides and lecture video with VOD. However, because lectures that use standard VOD focus on letting students take the lecture, most do not include advanced search methods or...
Identifying of word difficulty is useful to teachers and language learners. However, since the word difficulty has not been evaluated in all dictionary entry words, to estimate the word difficulty of documents and presentations from the aspects of language use is difficult. As fundamental research, we are attempting to evaluate the word difficulty from native and non-native learners. In the estimation...
