[English / Japanese]
We are working the following several topics. For more detail, check the OrcID page and the Japanese page.
We welcome enthusiastic PhD students from all over the world. If you are considering applying to our laboratory, please contact Masatoshi TSUCHIYA well before the application deadline, as we need sufficient time to discuss your research plan. Most students enroll in the autumn semester, so we recommend reaching out no later than the beginning of the previous autumn.
If you hope to receive the Japanese Government Scholarship (MEXT), the same timing applies. Regarding eligibility, we accept MEXT applicants under either of the following conditions:
Your letter of application MUST state the season in which you hope to enroll at Toyohashi University of Technology (e.g. Fall 2024). Your application letter MUST clearly explain your research plan. It is strongly preferred that your research plan relates to one of our previous publications.
Please be aware that to obtain a PhD degree from Toyohashi University of Technology, you must complete two journal papers and one international conference paper. Your research plan must therefore have sufficient depth and scope to support this.
We do not accept students who intend to enroll only in the Master's program and do not plan to proceed to a PhD. If you have already completed a Master's degree and wish to enroll directly in the doctoral program, please note that this is extremely challenging. Completing the required two journal papers and one international conference paper within a standard doctoral period without the foundation built during a Master's course here is very difficult. We will only consider such applications if your research plan clearly demonstrates how you will realistically achieve this publication requirement.
If you have not done graduate work in natural language processing, you will need to demonstrate your skills in the field. If this applies to you, please post your results of the NLP 100 Exercise to a GitHub repository so that we can review them.
Please note that I will not respond to letters that do not meet the above requirements.
