Welcome to Tetsuya's Home Page!
I am a Professor
here,
as well as a Composer.
My second monograph Syntactic Networks: Kernel Memory Approach will appear in May or June 2024 from Springer, within the same series: Studies in Computational Intelligence as the first one.
I was awarded 'Distinguished Musician' prize (left) at the IBLA Grand Prize in Sept. 2022, for one of my compositions "Robo Suite," written for full-orchestra. Right: the CD (you can listen to the crossfade by clicking the jacket, and mine appears from 1:22 to 4:00), published in 2022 with four other professional musicians, containing the five pieces of the Robo Suite (duration: approx. 20min, also avaiable via major sites such as Spotify, Amazon, or YouTube).
It is a great honour to be introduced by one of my old nests Meiji University;
here is an article about my recent activities of AI research and music, appeared in the quarterly magazine in Oct. 2020 (in Japanese).
In 2018, I was invited to give performances on solo at the piano festivals
held twice in Shizuoka. At the two festivals, each player was given about
an-hour long performance slot, and so I decided to improvise something on all
the 12 keys on the stage, each key with both the major and minor, and later
transcribed all the improvised ones and arranged them as the 24 Prelude
Impromptus. The sixth prelude (No.6 D Minor - Rhythmatic) won a
First place in the Professional International category at the 2020 Golden Key Piano Composition Competition, while the other three (No.3 Db Major, No.9 E Minor, and No.10 F Major) were awarded in the 28th TIAA National Composition Competition. In Aug. 2020, I published the score of all the 24 preludes (total 112 pages) from the Tokyo International Association of Artists (TIAA) (also available from amazon).
Summarising the major part of my research related to the artificial
mind, I wrote the monograph which is available from Springer-Verlag: Heidelberg.
With my first book, Artificial Mind System - Kernel Memory Approach,
Springer lanuched the new series: Studies
in Computational Intelligence in the summer in 2005. In the book,
I tried to give an overall picture of how an artificial mind could be
designed within an engineer's scope as much as possible, on the basis
of my proposal of the new connectionist framework, i.e. kernel memory,
and also with weaving ideas inspired/motivated from some other
relevant studies, i.e. artificial intelligence, cognitive science,
pattern recognition, philosophy, psychology, and signal processing
(see the book cover and for
more info. click the cover image above).
Definition of ``Tet(s)'':
Some years ago, I re-set my first name to
``Tet(s)'' (i.e. used to be singular, but
nowadays plural/third person singular form is much appreciated without
any particular reason) so that you can get to
call me easily. But, don't call me in the same way as you call your
pet(s) unless you are vet(s), wet-suited with a ret, and chasing around cet(s)
with a net or vat (/vaet/)!!
Or, yet, don't give me a shout whilst in
a jet with a phrase something like: ``What's the
value of det.|A(z)|?!'' or
``HeT! (i.e. in
Russian) Let's bet
(N.Y.)Mets!'', et
cetra (^o^)!!!.
