Hello!
My name is Hirofumi, and I am a Ph.D. student supervised by Kengo Kamatani at the Institute of Statistical Mathematics (ISM), Tokyo, Japan.
I view learning and inference as stochastic dynamics, and study how computational randomness is transformed into statistical performance.
I am particularly interested in Monte Carlo and stochastic optimization algorithms, seen as stochastic processes, and how their {weak, structured} {noise, randomization} can improve their overall statistical performance.
