About me
I am currently working as a research scientist at CyberAgent AI Lab. Previously, I got my Ph.D at Tokyo Institute of Technology in NLP under supervision of Prof. Manabu Okumura. My research interest is natural language generation with neural networks and I’m particularly interested in generating text from non-linguistic data.
