Introduction
Currently I don’t do research activities in my profession. I'm reading papers in my personal hours, and I aim to produce some research output as an “indie” researcher. I'm interested in the Bayesian paradigm in ML capable of capturing the real-world with uncertainty and noisy data in limited quantities, especially in the medical domain. I’m a newbie to this realm and I’m reading about Bayesian optimization, Gaussian process, function networks, causal BO, and Multi-armed Bandit settings.

By focusing on the huge movement of Social Networking Services (SNS) such as Instagram, we came up with the idea of utilizing social posts, in particular images, as learning materials. This pape...
Mindfulness has been actively investigated in HCI. While its positive effects on our cognitive functions are reported, carrying out mindfulness activities, in general, requires self-discipline to get its reported benefits. Our study aims to integrate a visual guide of breathing into computer-assisted learning to help the learner achieve better perf...
