Data Science Intern : Apteo May 2018 – Aug 2018

New York, NY

• Developed prediction modeling for financial product: long-term stock price by working with a codebase in python

• Worked on infrastructure using AWS, EC2 and self-designed pipeline concentrated on NLP/deep learning models

• Conducted large-scale feature analysis, time-series data manipulation and network structure/metrics/loss function research based on existing neural network models, improved the MAE metric by 2.3% PROJECT EXPERIENCE

Neural Machine Translation (NLP) Fall 2018

• Built recurrent encoder-decoder model as baseline for two parallel corpus, Chinese-English and Vietnamese-English.

• Applied GRU, LSTM, Attention mechanisms in 2 versions, and replicated the Transformer model structure

• Improved the BLEU score 26%, 58% from baseline model for Ch-En and Vi-En task respectively NLP and Sentiment Analysis on Yelp Reviews (Machine Learning) Spring 2018

• Implemented machine learning algorithms Multinomial Naive Bayes model and FastText model to predict the Yelp star rating based on 2,000k text reviews

• Constructed deep learning Bi-directional LSTM with both word-embedding and sentence embedding (Skip-Thoughts)

• Utilized Local Interpretable Model-Agnostic Explanations (LIME) package to conduct sentiment analysis Automatic Image Colorization (Deep Learning) Spring 2018

• Preprocessed three classes of images e.g. food, natural and people and transformed them in gray-scale images.

• Adopted VGG-16 as the initial layer of the neural networks to extract information and trained a Generative Adversarial Networks (GAN)

• Tuned the hyperparameters and reached the 0.18 MAE for food images and 0.66 MAE for natural urban image
