1st Place Winner & Team Leader from an AWS(China) sponsored AI competition:We perform structural segmentation and text preprocessing of the conference content, convert the text data into real-valued vectors that can be directly used by machine learning algorithms, and use natural language processing algorithms for topic modeling (Topic Modeling), adding word embedding (Word2Vec) technology Perform classification feature processing. The future vision of the work is to promote the work within the enterprise, to efficiently classify, retrieve and subscribe to the specific content of each department meeting, so as to save the participation time of some participants, and establish an automated AI system to improve the efficiency of meetings and communication.Press Release (in Chinese): https://new.qq.com/omn/20210830/20210830A05BSB00.html

I built a team of Data Scientists called "metis2020" to compete in Xprize "Pandemic Response Challenge". Among teams from 17 countries in this global competition, we ranked 3rd in the Top 10 and we are an "Honorable Mention" Winner! We designed an algorithm that built 138 separate neural networks, one for each country, that allows government policymakers to create and adjust an “Intervention Plan” to help mitigate Covid-19.
