INDUSTRY EXPERIENCE
Internship at ByteDance (Advertising Monetization), Beijing, China June 2021 - September 2021
● Extracted conversion related features in advertising system from multiple app products using
Hadoop
● Incorporated DIN (Deep Interest Network) with DeepFM, implemented with tensorflow ·
Trained the model using sequence features to boost the CVR prediction, with AUC increasing
by 1%
DATA PROJECTS
ACM RecSys Challenge 2019 (ranked 103 among 575 teams)
● Built a recommendation system to predict clicked hotels for each user’s session based on
popularity score of each hotel and order of actions of each user
Neural Network Parser
● Built an encoder-decoder model based on NMT (TensorFlow Neural Machine Translation) to
train a neural network parser on the Penn TreeBank dataset
PUBG Finish Placement Prediction
Kaggle competition: ranked 11% among all 1534 competitors
● Predicted final placement from final in-game stats from over 65,000 games’ worth of
anonymized player data
● Created feature engineering, built LightGBM model and used grid search CV algorithm to turn
hyperparameters
RESEARCH EXPERIENCE
PhD Researcher, Department of Mathematics, Brandeis University
Convolutional Networks with Phase Information
● Implemented an efficient and robust DNN model with pytorch to tackle object recognition ·
replaced part of traditional convolutional filters of CNN with trainable Gabor filters, which, in
contrast with traditional filters, have only constant number of parameters
● Made use of phase information obtained from wavelet (Fourier) decomposition, such as phase
congruency and phase symmetry, which is particularly invariant to illumination and scale when
used to detect edges and corners
Learning Guarantees for Graph Convolutional Networks
● Presented a provable guarantees for one of the most popular graph neural network models,
Graph Convolutional Networks (GCNs), for semi-supervised community detection tasks
SELECTED PUBLICATIONS
Learning Guarantees for Graph Convolutional Networks on the Stochastic
Block Model, XXXXX, under review
TEACHING AND MENTORING EXPERIENCE
Mentor of Practicum Spring 2021, Fall 2019
● Coached new graduate student instructors in Teaching Apprenticeship Program, provided
written criticism of and consultation on classroom teaching practices
Instructor and TA 2018 - 2021
● Taught: Methods and Techniques of Calculus; TA: Advanced Calculus and Fourier Analysis,
Optimization and Introduction to Proofs
Evening Tutoring Program 2017 - 2018
● Worked as tutor in the department’s evening tutoring program, which serves undergraduate
students taking calculus
