I’m Kazuki Yabe, a master student in Computational Linguistics at Indiana University Bloomington. I’m from Japan, and I can speack Japanese and English. The picture of Mt. Fuji is posted above to share a view of my home country. I toke it when I was back in Japan in 2019.
My expected graduation would be May, 2020, and I will have OPT for three years since my major is in the STEM program. I’m looking for a job which meets my interests (NLP, ML, Linguistics).
Before comming to Indiana, I was in Canada for about 7 years completing my high school and university. I majored in Computer Science and Linguistcs at Simon Fraser University, and learnt basics of programming and natural language, including algorithm complexity, recursion, searching, syntax, phonetics and etc.
My home is in Koto-ku, which is located at the right edge of Tokyo facing Tokyo Bay. I grew up there until I moved to Canada. Many landmarks, such as Asakusa and Skytree, are accessible by bicycle so it is a good place to stay for visiting Tokyo. I really love the place and miss the great food.
My academic interests include Natural Language Processing (NLP), Machine Learning (ML), Syntax, Semantics, Phonology, and Phonetics. I have taken some courses for these areas except Phonology and Phonetics, but I’m planning to take them in my last semester. I’m looking for a job related to these interests.
My non-academic interests include playing golf, reading comics, watching anime, and playing guitar. I don’t play a lot of game but I play Pokemon Go for several years.
