projects

Neural Network Ensembles and Visualization

Investigated optimal parameter usage in CNN by comparing single and ensemble networks across diverse architectures and datasets.

Contributed to the paper More or less: when and how to build convocational neural network ensembles? accepted at ICLR 2021.

Developed an interactive web application and manage the database to effectively visualize results.

Accurate Hate Speech Detection

Utilized the BERT and transfer learning to perform hate speech detection on twitter in languages with fewer data such as French and Arabic.

Patent Relation Recognition (Project for Harvard Law School)

With the help of LLM, building a patents graph to understand the relationship between various patents and finding the potential related patents for a given patent proposal.
