Biography

Shunsuke Kitada (北田 俊輔 in Japanese) is a Research Scientist at Image and Video AI Dept., LY Corp. His research interest is now on computational advertising with a focus on automatic geneartion/evaluation and assistive technology for multi-modal ad creatives.

Previously, he got his Ph.D. in 2023 at major in applied informatics, graduate school of science and engineering, Hosei University under the supervision of Prof. Hitoshi Iyatomi. His project was to improve prediction performance and model interpretability through attention mechanisms from basic and applied research perspectives.

His personality traits can be summarized as follows:

  • ❤️ Love research and development. He is enjoying research life, and he is currently focusing on three research topics simultaneously, e.g., natural language processing, medical image-based computer vision, computational advertising.
  • 📝 Every day read and implement the SoTA models. He has released many re-implementations of models using mainly Chainer and PyTorch. Therefore, based on state-of-the-art cases, he can advise on deep learning-based product design.
  • 😄 High technical communicativity. Summarize what he made and what he studied, and spread such information. This shows that he can input and output regularly.
