I am a researcher at Artificial Intelligence Research Center (AIRC), National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST), Japan, where I work on knowledge graph and semantic technology. I am also a part-time lecturer at Hosei University, where I teach semantic web (spring semester) and agent technology (fall semester). I am also collaborative researcher at The University of Electro-Communications (UEC) (Ohsuga, Tahara, & Sei Lab ).
I did my PhD at UEC, where I was advised by Takahiro Kawamura and Akihiko Ohsuga and funded by the JSPS DC2.
I'm interested in semantic web, ontology, graph representation learning, and open data. Much of my research is about constructing and reasoning knowledge graphs from physical and cyber worlds (unstructured text, semistructured data, video, virtual space, etc.).
