I'm Hiroshi, an undergraduate senior at Soka University of America. I study liberal arts with an emphasis on mathematics and computer science. My coursework also includes physics, philosophy, psychology, international relations, and economics.
At SUA, I am honored to be mentored by and work with Dr. Katherine Perry. I also joined research at Texas State University and the University of Maryland, College Park. I would like to especially thank Dr. Damian Valles at TXST, Dr. William Gasarch and Aviva Prins at UMD for the wonderful opportunities.
I want to holistically and scientifically understand how intelligence functions and forms through the lens of deep learning:
Geometries of learned representation spaces in deep learning, esp LLMs and VLMs
Generative models as the approximation of reality
World models in language models and model-based reinforcement learning

These are my favorite papers! (Great respect to the authors):
🔍 The Platonic Representation Hypothesis (Huh et al., 2024)
🌏 Language Models Represent Space and Time (Gurnee and Tegmark, 2024)
💎 Mastering Diverse Domains through World Models (Hafner et al., 2023)
I enjoy studying machine learning. I am also passionate about elevating students' accessibility to machine learning and data science.

I believe knowledge, a product of the privilege to receive education, should be for the sake of human good and well-being. These quotes always remain a great surprise and inspiration to me.
"Intelligence is one of the greatest human gifts. But all too often a search for knowledge drives out the search for love. [...] I present it to you as a hypothesis: Intelligence without the ability to give and receive affection leads to mental and moral breakdown, to neurosis, and possibly even psychosis. And I say that the mind absorbed in and involved in itself as a self-centered end, to the exclusion of human relationships, can only lead to violence and pain."
--Daniel Keyes, Flowers for Algernon
"When the development of knowledge is isolated from human concerns, it ultimately leads to the creation of weapons of mass destruction. But, at the same time, it is knowledge that has made society comfortable and convenient, bringing industry and wealth. The fundamental task of education must be to ensure that knowledge serves to further the cause of human happiness and peace: it must be the propelling force for an eternally unfolding humanitarian quest."
--Daisaku Ikeda, Thoughts on Education for Global Citizenship
