My family name is Ide, and my given name is Tsuyoshi (meaning a
strong guy). Please call me Ide-san. I often spell my
name as 
, but both with and without the accent are
okay. In kanji, it spells as 
.
In Japan, it is common to call another person's name by attaching a
suffix "-san" to his/her family name. In my case, it is "Ide-san",
which I prefer. In the business situations and most of the daily
situations, it is very rare (even impolite) in Japan to use given names
to call other people.
By some historical reason, it seems that Japanese people are much more
respectful to family names than American people; in a sense, the way
they treat human names might look more like that of British people (as
far as I understood from The Titanic). As for my name, only my
parents use my given name, Tsuyoshi.
However, I know that the Japanese custom is very different from
American's, and I don't mind at all if you use my first name to call
me.
Since 2003, I have been working on data mining and machine learning
research at IBM Research - Tokyo. My recent research interests include:
For the details, see DBLP and the publication page.
My academic background is mechanical engineering and theoretical
physics. I graduated from Tomakomai National College of technology and
Tohoku University in mechanical engineering in 1990 and 1993,
respectively.
After the first year of the graduate school, I decided to change my
major to theoretical physics, and entered Department of Physics,
Graduate School of Science, University of Tokyo in 1995. I received my
M.Sc and Ph.D in theoretical solid state physics there in 1997 and
2000, respectively, working with Prof. Akio Kotani. My thesis was one
of the earliest theoretical studies on "nonlocal screening effects" in
resonant inelastic X-ray scattering phenomena in strongly correlated
electronic systems.
I joined the display technology group, IBM Research - Tokyo, in 2000.
For the first couple of years, I had been working on numerical study on
liquid crystal displays (LCDs). The most successful work over this
period was a dot pattern generation technique to optimize the
configuration of micro light scatterers of LCDs (see the project page).
Since 2003, I have engaged in a number of data mining projects at IBM
Research. For more information, see the project
page and my publication list (see also
DBLP).
