Shigeki Sagayama's Homepage: Greeting
  • This is Shigeki Sagayama's Homepage. Click an item to see in the above menu.
  • On April 1, 2000, I was appointed as the Professor of Information Physics Laboratory #1 of Department of Mathematical Engineering and Information Physics, Graduate School of Engineering, the University of Tokyo. ( In the formality, my position at the University of Tokyo (UT) used to be the secondary position with the primary one being a professor of Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (JAIST) from April to December, 2000. As the new century came, my primary postion was switched to one at UT with the second one at JAIST. )
  • My research background includes speech recognition, synthesis, and coding, spoken language processing, language modeling, human interface, multimodal interface, and multimedia information processing (before joining JAIST).
  • On June 1, 1998, I joined Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (JAIST) as the Professor of Artificial Intelligence Laboratory where research goals were to provide machines with information processing abilities commonly found in human beings in their daily life and realize machines with humanity for good relationships with muman beings. Research subjects included pattern recognition, learning machines and training algorithms, speech recognition, speech synthesis, spoken language processing, dialog understanding, artificial human image generation, hand-written character recognition, music information processing, and other topics related to intelligent processing of physical (real-world) information.
    After moving to the University of Tokyo, my research has the same goals. The ultimate goal is "artificial personality" (that means providing a machine with a human-like personality).
