Lecturer
Information-theoretic learning theory/Statistical learning theory
“What are the possibility and limitation of machine learning?” We take
information-theoretic and statistical approaches to answer this
question. As for information-theoretic learning theory, we study a
unifying methodology for model selection, representation learning,
change detection, high-dimensional sparse learning, etc. on the basis
of the minimum description length principle. As for statistical
learning, we study new algorithm designs and theoretical analysis of
deep learning and kernel methods on the basis of statistical theory.
We also develop new optimization methods to run the machine learning
algorithms efficiently on the big data.

Data Science Foundation
We study methodologies for knowledge discovery from big data (anomaly
detection, network mining, embedding, etc.) Specifically we are
interested in discovering deep knowledge from latent spaces. We aim at
building a new field called “Symptomatics”, in which we detect signs
of latent changes in future from data streams.

Data Science Applications
We study effective data science methodologies by applying machine
learning and data mining technologies to real complex data. The
applications include economics, financial data analysis, medical data
analysis, marketing, SNS data analysis, failure detection, spatial
data mining, security, etc. We often collaborate with industrial
companies to solve real data science problems.

Research Topics

My research interests lie in both empirical research and statistical model building of social and economic big data. On the empirical research side, my research has mainly focused on analyzing datasets primarily in finance and macroeconomics domain (financial markets, blockchain, news text, financial statements, firm networks, sales of products), but this does not mean that I am solely interested in economics. For the statistical modeling side, my focus is on developing models that take into account various characteristics and empirical regularities found in the economy and utilizing information from multiple sources in the form of a heterogeneous information network. For the latter model building research, I mainly develop network mining (simple, temporal, heterogeneous information network) and text mining methods.
By combining the two research topics, my goal is to model complex issues in society (e.g., propagation and mitigation of shocks, hidden industrial block structure, aggregate fluctuation, matching among firms, network formation, bubbles, crashes, financial statements, systemic risks, the velocity of money, news events and reliability of information) to not only contribute to academic research but better understand risks and accelerate evidence-based policymaking.
