The applied mathematical aspects of statistical mechanics, a branch of physics, is pursued. The current main focus is on applications to the field of machine learning.
Overview of the research
Theoretical issues in information theory and machine learning are studied using techniques from statistical physics such as replica method, mean-field approximation, and Monte Carlo methods. Some notable research achievements so far include the clarification of reconstruction limits and the development of hyperparameter estimation methods in sparse estimation. Currently, I am interested in enhancing our understanding of modern machine learning models having complex structures, such as deep learning. To this end, theoretical analyses in some specific models and tasks are conducted. Some new learning frameworks are suggested based on those analyses.
