Self Introduction

Happy New Year 🌅
I'm Chihiro Ishikawa, joining the AI Business Division from January 2026.
I'm currently a fourth-year university student, working at Classmethod as a student intern.
Nice to meet you all.

Graduation Thesis

Since I don't have much work experience, I'll briefly introduce my graduation thesis that I'm currently working on.
I'm researching "Stock Price Movement Prediction from News Text Using Natural Language Processing Technologies."
Since I created the dataset myself, I haven't been able to develop an effective model yet...
Through this internship experience, I hope to gain knowledge that will be valuable for my future master's thesis.

Hobbies

Food

I love eating so much that while having lunch, I'm already imagining what to have for dinner.
I also enjoy alcohol, so whenever I travel, I always buy local sake as a treat for after the trip.

Exercise

I'm not particularly good at sports, but I refresh my mind by moving my body!
Since I love eating so much, it's partly for managing my figure, but recently I've gotten into running and going to the gym whenever I have some free time. People around me think I have ADHD because of my high activity level.

Travel

I love traveling, and recently I visited Ayers Rock in Australia!
Most of my trips have been to various cities, but this was the first time I directly experienced nature, and I felt the greatness of the Earth.

Finally

While I may not have strong technical skills yet, I am confident in my ability to absorb knowledge.
I might be a burden at first, but I look forward to working with everyone.
