@growing_daniel i think youre referring to @tkasasagi (but she is not japanese and the models were for character recognition iirc)
Tarin Clanuwat is a super star in that field. And she’s not even Japanese. Her name seems to be Thai, but she is from Taiwan. She started in premodern Japanese literature (Genji commentaries from Kanto area in 12th to 14th century), and eventually transitioned to ML.

@growing_daniel It’s still a work in progress, can only detect about half the Kanji and accuracy is poor
@growing_daniel no. sadly she was ontologically vaporized
@growing_daniel this?
@shinobu_books Are you this woman or do you know of her? Just curious, remembered her randomly as a character from Twitter like five seasons ago
@airkatakana @tkasasagi YES thank you
@growing_daniel She's married, sorry Daniel
@growing_daniel lol maybe wanted poster across SF will help
@growing_daniel the one with the restraining order?
@growing_daniel "long time ago" 😭
@growing_daniel @tkasasagi She’s at http://Sakana.ai now. They published this chatbot trained on Edo period books; you can chat with what seems to be an Edo person. I think this is her work.

@_smcf That’s fine I’m just curious about Twitter characters
@airkatakana @growing_daniel @tkasasagi why are you doubting daniel’s love radar?
@growing_daniel very nice of you to still remember the season 1 characters
@growing_daniel @airkatakana @tkasasagi the type of shit fucking daniel thrives on reading about
@airkatakana @growing_daniel @tkasasagi Bro this sounds pretty cool, let's go work there. You think they'd be able to pay 6千万円 TC? I think I could make 一億円 in the US but cost of living and whatnot
@shinobu_books NEVER MIND found her in another comment
@growing_daniel i need that model.
@growing_daniel Oh sweet following her
