Welcome to Taka Yamakoshi’s website!

I'm a 6th (and final) year undergraduate medical student at the University of Tokyo, Faculty of Medicine.
I was an exchange student at Princeton University (2019-20) and part of the UTokyo-Princeton Strategic Partnership (2022-23).

My current research aims to identify the internal mechanisms of language processing by humans and machines.
To this end, I have employed the following three approaches.
[1] Compare the linguistic behavior of language models against that of humans.
[2] Identify the causal mechanism inside the language models.
[3] Compare the internal representations of language models against neural recordings.

I believe clarifying the detailed circuits inside language models and aligning them with neural recordings will help us identify a more detailed language circuit inside the brain.
