Naoto Inoue

Hi, I am Naoto Inoue (井上直人).

I am working as a Research Scientist at CyberAgent Inc. AILab. My primary research interest is now on automatic generation and assistive technology for multi-modal creative advertisements (Ads).

(intern) Please drop me an email with your resume if you're interested in working with me.

Previously, I got my Ph.D. in 2021 at The University of Tokyo in CV/CG under supervision of Prof. Toshihiko Yamasaki. My project was on developing novel methods and applications of generative modeling for visual content creation, especially using image-to-image translation. I was fortunate to collaborate with Adobe Research and Preferred Networks during my Ph.D. study.
