Research Themes
Feature Selection and Mathematical Model Construction for Improving Machine Learning Accuracy
With advances in data acquisition methods and measurement equipment, the volume of available data has increased dramatically, raising the importance of extracting useful information from large-scale, high-dimensional datasets. My research focuses on reducing data redundancy and selecting the most informative features. By formulating the relationship between features and target variables as a mathematical model, we are developing feature selection methods that enhance both the convergence speed and predictive accuracy of machine learning algorithms, including clustering, image classification, and object detection.
Teaching Philosophy
My teaching philosophy is students will master well-balanced knowledge related to software and hardware necessary for information engineering, develop the cutting-edge technologies including artificial intelligence (AI) and IoT to play an active role in the global era with a broad scientific perspective.
