Artificial Intelligence, from the Spanish and Japanese perspectives

Published:

The Cervantes Institute in Tokyo is an organization to promote Spanish culture in Japan, and Spanish-Japanese collaborations. In this event, I presented some basic concepts about artificial intelligence (AI), and my experience in Spain and Japan as a researcher in AI. Then, I moderated a panel discussion along with Dr. Fernando Castaño Romero and Dr. Yoshitaka Ushiku, regarding how AI is present within society in Spain and Japan respectively.

Doing research in Japan: experiences and opportunities

Published:

In this webinar, a group of researchers from Spain talked about our experiences living and working in Japan. We compared the research opportunities that Japan and Spain provide, and discussed about how is living in such a different country (anecdotes, advice, etc.).

Pursuing a research career in Japan

Published:

CCSE (Conference on Computer Science for Enterprise) is conference organized by the company CyberAgent. It is a place for company researchers to share their latest advances with their peers from other companies. I moderated and participated in a panel discussion about how non-Japanese researchers can pursue different types of career paths in Japan.

Artificial intelligence, computer vision, and multimodal data

Published:

In this webinar I introduce some notions of artificial intelligence and computer vision, in order to explain how machines are able to perceive the world around us. Initially designed to recognize simple patterns in images, artificial neural networks have become more and more complex, and more and more accurate. This allowed their introduction into a wide variety of sectors, ranging from medical to automotive.

VAEs for multimodal disentanglement

Published:

The Japanese Study Group on Computer Vision is a semestral conference in which researchers from all over Japan present the most recent topics in computer vision. In my talk, I introduce the variational autoencoders (VAE) as a way to learn latent representations of the input data, in particular, in the case of multimodal data (audio, video, text, etc.).

CVPR2022 paper reading - Balanced multimodal learning

Published:

The Japanese Study Group on Computer Vision is a semestral conference in which researchers from all over Japan present the most recent topics in computer vision. In my talk, I introduce a paper from the International Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (CVPR2022) that addresses the simultaneous learning of data coming from different modalities. This topic is very relevant in computer vision, as visual data is prone to learn at different speeds than other modalities, such as text and audio.

European Research Days Japan 2022 - Academia vs Industry

Published:

ECCV2022 paper reading - Multi-modal Multi-task Masked Autoencoders

Published:

The Japanese Study Group on Computer Vision is a semestral conference in which researchers from all over Japan present the most recent topics in computer vision. In my talk, I introduce a paper from the European Conference on Computer Vision (ECCV2022) that addresses the pretraining of autoencoder models with different tasks and data coming from different modalities. This topic is very relevant in computer vision, as training a model with heterogeneous data and tasks is very challenging.

Advantages and disadvantages of doing research in a company vs. a university

Published:

On November 2022, the III Gathering of Spanish researchers in Japan (ACE Japon) took place at the Embassy. It was my honor to moderate a panel discussion with researchers belonging to “industrial” and “academic” institutions. We discussed the advantages/disadvantages and different perspectives on how each panelist conduct their research. It may be complicated, but in the future a hybrid environment between both worlds would be desirable.

Collaborative research between Spain and Japan: Progress and TO DOs

Published:

On November 2023, the IV Gathering of Spanish researchers in Japan (ACE Japon) took place at the Embassy of Spain in Tokyo. It was my honor to participate in a panel discussion with researchers with experience in doing collaborative research between Spain and Japan. We discussed the progress and TO DOs in collaborative research, as well as future ideas to involve students and women into STEM. Later, I introduced my research in heterogeneous data learning, including an explanation on the differences between research and product.

CCSE2023: Significance of R&D organization in companies

Published:

CCSE2023, CyberAgent AI Lab’s research conference for companies, was a success! I help facilitating collaboration talks among companies and the keynote speech. In particular, I had the honor of participating in a panel discussion about the significance of R&D organization in companies, among CyberAgent-Cygames-Panasonic. For the keynote speech, Jerry Chi, the representative of Stability AI Japan, gave a presentation on the state of the art in generative AI with text, image, audio, code, etc. I feel we managed to create a wonderful place for exchanging ideas and making new contacts.

Lab management, The University of Tokyo, Graduate School of Information Science and Technology, Department of Mechano-Informatics, Machine Intelligence Lab, 2017

While working as a researcher at the Machine Intelligence Lab (U-Tokyo), I was in charge of basic lab management tasks (e.g., lab tours), as well as assisting the students in their research tasks (e.g., topic selection, paper writing). I was also assigned leader duties for a medical project, and during the lab’s participation at the RoboCup competition.

IEEE Young Professionals workshop on AI

Workshop, Nihon University, 2017

I was the lecturer in a workshop about AI organized by IEEE Young Professionals. In the morning, the students were given an intensive lecture on AI and machine learning in order to learn the basics and the applications. Then, during the afternoon, the students thought about innovative applications using AI and created their own idea proposal. Finally, the most interesting idea received an award.

U-Tokyo Future Faculty Program
