Manwa-kei: Measurement of Conversation Volume and Analysis of Its Relationship with Stress
Comment from the award winner, Taku Yamane (4th-year student, Faculty of Environment and Information Studies)
I am honored to have received the Student Encouragement Award at the 71st Meeting of the IPSJ Special Interest Group on Ubiquitous Computing Systems (UBI). I am filled with joy and surprise to receive such a prestigious award. This research aimed to examine the relationship between the amount of conversation and stress by measuring how much people talk. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the professors, senior students, and my peers who believed in and supported my research, and above all, to Mr. Chen, who was my direct mentor. However, the program I actually created for this research was very simple. I believe I received this wonderful award because the perspective and future potential of the research were highly evaluated. I hope that this award will encourage someone, not only in the field of information processing, to believe that "even those who are not confident in their practical skills can do many interesting things depending on their ideas."
