RESEARCH EXPERIENCE

Information and Knowledge Discovery Lab, Viterbi School of Engineering
University of Southern California, Los Angeles, CA

Visiting Scholar                                                                                           Nov.2018 – Apr.2019

• Under supervision by Assistant Professor Xiang Ren
• Worked on knowledge graph completion with supervision from graph structures or text
• Proved that text relation extraction and pattern mining helps in achieving better performance in knowledge graph completion tasks
• Examined effects of temporal KG reasoning models on monographs (KGs with only 1 relation)
• Submission to EMNLP 2019 has been accepted, and one to NeurIPS 2019 as co-authors pending review

Cambridge Vehicle Dynamics Consortium
University of Cambridge, Cambridge, UK

Research Intern                                                                                             Jul.2018 – Sept.2018

• Under supervision by Professor David Cebon and Senior Research Fellow Xiaoxiang Na
• Developed an implementation for conversion between coordinate systems, and elevation inference based on coordinates from the UK Ordnance Survey LIDAR database
• Collected sensors and GPS data from real-world operating trucks, and compared data accuracy between elevation data retrieved from various sources
• Achieved 50% more accuracy on weight and rolling factor inference based on force analysis and regression analysis formulas

Artificial Intelligence Lab, School of Computer Science
Zhejiang University, Hangzhou, China

  Research Intern                                                                                         Jan.2018 – Nov.2018

• Under supervision by Professor Fei Wu of Zhejiang University
• Optimized Beijing’s 3000-line, 10K-station transit network model to cut passenger daily commute time by adding and changing lines and station positions, based on the 600K-user real home-to-work data from Baidu Map and annual network changes as ground truth
• Implemented Tensorforce and Q-Routing Reinforcement Learning algorithms, comparing it with Ant Colony Optimization, Genetic Algorithm and other optimization algorithms set out historically for this issue while not to this scale
• Programs are under testing for effect comparisons
