Self-introduction

Hi, my name is Shuto Iwasaki. I’m a sophomore majoring Bioinformatics. I’m curious about machine learning, and the gene, so I’m now studying both of them. In the future, I want to make some models, in particular HMM (Hidden Markov Model) with my knowledge of biology to predict where are the important regions in the very large amount of base sequences.

Why I start this blog

There are two reasons:

First reason

This picture's comment influenced me so much. I am a big worrier, and hate to show my weaknesses, so I always prepare too much, and aim to be perfect. However, there were a lots and lots of people who were greater than me in the University of Tokyo, so I lost confidence, in other words, I was bothered by the "Todai Caste." At that time, I encountered this phrase, and it saved me. I felt I got a permission to speak from an imperfect position. After I present my skills, works, and interests, many people turned their attention to me, and I could get a lot of chances to communicate with engineers who have an amazing skills. In summary, I thought "Say nothing is as good as dead." That's why I made this website.

Second reason

One of my frinds has his website, and he said that "this is for my child." It made me realize that "even though no one could be a perfect human by oneself (∵ time is finite), one might be by teaching one another with others." This is the second reason.

Why I write in English?

There are too many reasons, so I write the biggest one.
Many people say that machine could understand Natural Language, like BERT. I admit it will come true eventually, but it may take a couple of years to be the world, so we should acquire an ability to communicate in English now. In addition, I love speaking English, because English makes me cheerful, so I want to be fluent in English. My FLOW teacher, Bueno Alex Falcon said to me that "the more you speak English, the better you speak English," so I trust him and using English now.
