著書
Deep Learning Text Book
This is a one of the pioneering and best selling textbooks written in Japanese on Deep Learning. It covers both theoretical fundamentals of Deep Learning as well as its applications to various domains such as text and vision.
Machine Learning on Web Data
This book, written in Japanse, explains the NLP techniques that are applicable on Web text mining. It is written for Web engineers.
Attributional and Relational Similarity on the Web
This is the book covering my PhD thesis, where I studied methods for estimating attributional and relational similarity between words using information available on the Web.
Knowledge and Information Processing
This text book written in Japanese was used by the undergraduate students at the University of Tokyo, specialising in communication engineering.
