Hi, I'm Kan 👋

「AI・LLMの実務で使える RAG精度改善」
A practical book on making RAG more accurate in real projects.
🏆 It hit #1 on Amazon's AI new release chart
See it on Amazon ↗I've been playing Kaggle for many years. Data mining competitions are my favorite.
I'm a Kaggle Master, and my best global ranking was in the 500s.
My Kaggle profile ↗On Qiita I share new things I find in AI, and anything new and fun I'm playing with.
My posts get about 300K views a year.
Read it on Qiita ↗A learning project from a while back. It's mostly about AI roleplay novels.
It got about 500 users. Hardly anyone reads it now and I've stopped maintaining it, haha.
novelwanderai.com ↗An LLM pretraining project backed by Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI). I joined as a member of the model team, and we trained a 14B MoE model.
About the project ↗
I mainly studied computer science and machine learning.
I mainly studied marketing and finance.
People often ask how I went from marketing to AI engineering. It's a long story. Happy to tell it over a coffee chat ☕
I'm Korean Chinese and came to Japan pretty early, so I speak four languages.
When I'm not working, I'm probably playing games. I love chess and other strategy games.
My favorite of all time is TFT (Teamfight Tactics). Always happy to talk comps.
AI agents, working in Japan, or even TFT. I'm happy to chat.
