Hello!
I am a 1st-year Ph.D. student at Shirakawa Laboratory, Yokohama National University. My research primarily focuses on artificial intelligence and black-box optimization.

I am particularly interested in Evolutionary Computation and Multi-objective Optimization. Additionally, my interests include various technologies related to deep learning, reinforcement learning, and large language models.


はじめまして!
横浜国立大学・白川研究室に所属している、博士課程後期1年の山田裕太郎です。 人工知能およびブラックボックス最適化を中心とした研究を行っています。

主に進化計算(Evolutionary Computation)および多目的最適化(Multi-objective Optimization)における、最適化アルゴリズムの開発や応用に関心を持っています。 また、深層学習や強化学習、大規模言語モデルなど人工知能に関連する技術に広く興味があります。
