LocationNagoya University Higashiyama Campus, IB West Tower 6F, Leaders Studio

Here is a short summary:

Global Challenge Ⅱ

In the Global Challenge II, students visit a top-tier international research institution. While participating in competitive research, they can practice communication and interaction with international researchers.

This time, four students reported on their experiences during the Global Challenge II.

They reported that by receiving guidance from top-level researchers, they had a rewarding experience in studying how to tackle research problems. Regarding differences to the academic environment at a university, they experienced that the research groups had a higher level of security, but also a higher feeling of union.

There were also students whose research topic during the Global Challenge II was different from their research topic at university. Thus, during this project, they could study a wide knowledge of modeling tasks and frameworks related to machine learning.

The following shows the students participating in this Global Challenge II and the research institution it took place at:

StudentTingfang Que (Second inaugural class,Economics)
LocationUniversity of Cincinnati
TopicResearch related to Nudge theory
StudentQunjing Guo (Second inaugural class,Economics)
LocationNTT Communication Science Laboratories
TopicForecasting GDP using an LSTM model

TopicSound source separation focusing on music signals
StudentBao Trung Chu (First inaugural class,Information Science)
LocationIBM Cyber Security Center of Excellence
TopicAutomatic log analysis using AI technologies
