English Content Added to the AI Explains! Niigata University Research Website
July 24, 2026
Niigata University Library and Big Data Activation Research Center, Niigata University added English content to the AI Explains! Niigata University’s Research website on July 24, 2026, and made the site available in English.
This feature enhancement was developed and built in collaboration with BSN INET Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Niigata City, Niigata Prefecture, President and CEO: NAGUMO Shunsuke), with support from the 2025 Future-Leading and Advanced Graduate-schools (FLAGs).
This website publishes AI-generated explanatory texts based on research registered in the Niigata University Academic Repository to convey the content in an easy-to-understand manner to non-specialists, and to disseminate the research in both Japanese and English to reach a wider audience both domestically and internationally.
We added the following new content and features:
【Added Content】
- Published newly added English research papers with AI-generated English and Japanese explanations.
- Added AI-generated English explanations for previously published Japanese research papers.
【New features】
- The entire website is available in English.
Different English explanations are provided for native English speakers and for non-native speakers. Thus, we can communicate about research written in Japanese in an easy-to-understand manner to overseas researchers, international students, and prospective study abroad students, and help raise awareness of our university's research areas and content.
We also provide Japanese explanations for English research papers. Thus we can present research that was previously difficult to access due to the specialized nature and language barriers in an easy-to-understand manner to a wide range of people, including elementary, junior high, and high school students. In addition, by increasing opportunities for students considering enrolling at Niigata University or our graduate school to engage with English papers, we expect to foster their interest in research, attract more Japanese graduate students, and further progress with research in our graduate school.
We hope you will use this new website to widely disseminate the research findings of Niigata University both domestically and internationally, and for academic communication that connects research with society.
