Projects (GitHub)

Predicting Best Answers for Questions on Stack Overflow

Term project of CS295 Statistical NLP, Winter 2018. Applied various ML models (e.g., Random Forest and XGBoost) and NLP techniques (e.g., Latent Semantic Indexing) to predict the best answers for questions labeled ”Python” on Stack Overflow. Outperformed baseline by 8.5%. (report)

Kaggle Competition: Rainfall Prediction (7/126, top 6%)

Term project of CS273A Machine Learning, Fall 2017. Used ensembles (e.g., Random Forest and XGBoost) and feature engineering (e.g., missing data handling) to predict rainfall by infrared information.

AlphaTrip (Hackathon project)

A prototype using natural language processing and machine learning to categorize attractions near Tokyo and schedule trips. Collaboratively developed and demoed at the Big Data X Maker Hackathon, Taipei. (presentation, press)
