Interactive Learning
Motivation Most modern machine learning algorithms are all based on the same feature weighing framework, i.e. . In order to capture the possible inter-relationship between features, the prevalent way is to expand the feature set by including interactive terms. However, this process is very ad-hoc, and it depends on a lot of manual trial-errors. Proposal
From 2020 to 2021
Reflections for 2020 There are so many things happening in 2020. Even though most of them are purely bad news to the world, I still want to write down my reflections, as a record. CFA After I passed the CFA Level I Exam in last December, I have prepared for the Level II Exam since
Some my ideas about cryptocurrency
Section I: Motivation I neither am an expert in economics nor have much understanding in cryptocurrency. I write this post simply because I am curious about the “reason” behind buying cryptocurrency. In the following statements, I am sure there would be many obvious mistakes. If you are also interested in this topic, please feel free

Section I: SUMMARIZATION Look back at 2018, I would say I have achieved quite some goals but also missed some of them. Section II: SUCCEED TO FULFILL IN 2018 Being an independent engineer It is my first year working as a full-time software engineer. Surprisingly, I won’t say there is too much difference from being
From 2017 to 2018
Section I: Preface It has been a long time since my last diary. I remember a did have two reflection articles for my first and second quarters written. However, by the end of third quarter, I started to record everything through video in order to practice my oral skills. Now is about time to pick

Despite the fact that I am still not fully recovered from the tiredness accumulated during nine-day road trip and would like to fall
Two-dimensional Proximal Constraints with Group Lasso for Disease Progression Prediction
Abstract Despite the advance in medical research, there are still some diseases that cannot be cured after certain level of severity. For instance, Alzheimer’s disease (AD), arguably the best known neurodegenerative disease, attracts significant attention because of its irreversible disease progression. Enormous capital and efforts have been invested into AD research for the pursuit of
Driving Behavior Prediction, Intel-NTU
Abstract Given a set of driver logs collected from Unity simulator, our task is to predict driver’s aggressive events, including overspending, driving too close, lane switch to left, and lane switch to right in the near future (10 secs). By achieving this goal in real time with the assumption of effective communication between cars, we
SB Hackathon, University of California, Santa Barbara
Abstract During this Hackathon, we are working on an advertisement related machine learning topic: predict the possibility of conversion (click on an advertisement and buy the item) given logs of past users’ behaviors. It is unlike usual collaborative filtering task, where only interactions, ex: ratings, are provided; on the contrary, many contents of users and
