Goals of the School of Information and Data Sciences
Professor, Ryuei NISHII, D.Sc.
Dean, School of Information and Data Sciences

Based on the School of Engineering’s Computer and Information Science Program, the School of Information and Data Sciences was established in April 2020 as the tenth department in Nagasaki University for education and research of information and data sciences. In the school, faculty members and students will develop sets of procedures for processes from information extraction to decision-making based on mathematical models that draw from disciplines including AI, machine learning, mathematics, and statistics. The results will be returned to society as tangible hardware and software products using information technology (IT). Logical decision-making based on information and data (evidence) is a necessary skill for individuals and companies in this present era of readily available big data. The development of software and hardware leveraging logical decision-making and big data will make our lives more convenient and prosperous.

The Covid-19 pandemic broke out in 2020, and countries have responded in a variety of ways. The importance of “digitization,” “remote access,” and “connections between people” was recognized anew in the midst of the pandemic. Compared with other countries in their use of IT, Japan’s lag was pronounced. The country is seeking to close this gap to become an advanced information society and evolve to the next stage, “Society 5.0,” a human-centered society. The School of Information and Data Sciences was established to contribute to realizing this goal. It aims to contribute to the with/after-Covid-19 society together with students who wish to study information and data sciences, students who wish to be actively involved in hot topics in various fields of study, and students who wish to improve themselves.
