Advisor: Prof. Yun-Nung ChenTopic: BARCOR: Towards A Unified Framework for Conversational Recommendation- Proposed a unified framework to tackle the item recommendation and response generation tasks, which enabled end-to-end learning scheme- Modeled users’ intention understanding, recommendation, and feedback generation as a classical sequence-to-sequence task, leading to the enhancement in system scalability and optimization stability- Outperformed baseline CRSs by 37% in recommendation accuracy and by 151% in diversity of responses- Awarded Ministry of Science and Technology Undergraduate Research Grant 2021

Topic: Maps Query Disambiguation- Worked on an ML project to train and test ranking models for accurate location retrieval in the Indian market- Constructed an automated procedure that filters ambiguous maps queries and further disambiguates the queries by including an entire set of other relevant queries - Executed feature engineering and analysis and incorporated disambiguated queries in the training pipeline to obtain 6% normalized discounted cumulative gainTopic: Intelligent Maps Query Selector- Participated in an automated address query generation pipeline, consisting of a synthetic query generator and an intelligent query selector, to provide high-quality training data for downstream ranking models- Designed a Transformer-based query selector that evaluated query quality based on the similarities in query structure and language usage between synthetic and realistic queries- Provided insightful revision advice for the query generator through in-depth analyses on the low-dimensional representations synthetic queries embedded by the selector- Augmented training dataset with selected synthetic queries improved 5% recall for downstream models
