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.
