Welcome! I’m Yui Tatsumi, a master’s student at Waseda University, specializing in scalable image coding for both human and machine vision. Currently, I’m exploring how we can design efficient image compression techniques not only for people, but also for AI-driven recognition models. By leveraging deep learning, I aim to bridge the gap between human-oriented and machine-oriented image compression. I’m also involved in a research project commissioned by NICT, working as a Research Assistant.

During my undergraduate years, I worked on projects ranging from Japanese Sign Language recognition to neural network-based compression models, and was honored with the Department Award for my research achievements. I’ve had the opportunity to present my work at both international and domestic conferences, and have co-authored multiple papers in the fields of AI.

Beyond research, I’m passionate about cross-cultural communication. I was actively involved in the Japanese Sign Language Club at Waseda University, where I studied Japanese Sign Language and Deaf culture. As president of the club, I led a team of around 120 members and supported students at a school for the Deaf with their studies. I also have overseas experience, having lived in the U.S. for several years during my youth.

Whether through code, images, or language, I hope to build bridges—between people and machines, across cultures, and through ideas. Thank you for visiting my site!
