I am a researcher at Kyoto University, where I work on NLP research. In March 2022, I received my PhD in informatics from Kyoto University. Feel free to send me an email if you want to reach out.
Work on building knowledge-based dialogue systems.
Worked on classifying recipe data and normalizing ingredient name.
Worked on benchmarking a graph database.
Worked on developing a visualization tool for brain-inspired cognitive architectures.
