Professor, Faculty of Systems and Information Science, University of Tsukuba Director, Center for Artificial Intelligence Research, University of Tsukuba

  • He is conducting research and development on both theory and application aspects of machine learning, pattern recognition, and image recognition. He was the first in the world to propose object recognition using multiple viewpoints and video sequences, which has become known in recent years as image-set-based object recognition. On the theoretical side, he is building a theoretical foundation based on subspace representation and differential subspace, aiming for precise structural analysis of high-dimensional spaces. He is a member of IEEE, SIAM, the Institute of Electronics, Information and Communication Engineers of Japan, and the Information Processing Society of Japan. He is also a Fellow of the Institute of Electronics, Information and Communication Engineers.
