Research Experience
  • Visiting Researcher, Visual Geometry Group, University of Oxford (Oxford VGG) (September, 2024 - )
Education
  • Ph.D. in Engineering, Keio University (April 2011 - March 2014)
Background
  • Chief Senior Researcher, AIST, Japan; Academic Visitor, Visual Geometry Group (VGG), University of Oxford; Visiting Associate Professor, Keio University; Adjunct Associate Professor, Tokyo Denki University; Research Advisor, SB Intuitions; Principal Investigator, cvpaper.challenge; Principal Investigator, LIMIT.Lab. He proposed 3D ResNets as a baseline spatiotemporal model, which became one of the top 0.5% most-cited papers at CVPR over a five-year period. He also introduced Formula-Driven Supervised Learning (FDSL), a synthetic pre-training method without real images and human labor, which earned an ACCV 2020 Best Paper Honorable Mention Award.
Miscellany
  • Personal interests include building multimodal AI foundation models (LIMIT.Lab project), finding collaborators to write sophisticated papers (cvpaper.challenge project), and replacing labeled real-image datasets with auto-generated contours.
