• Machine Learning Project:
• Used pre-trained Vision Transformer to perform galaxy morphology classification task with an F1 score of 80%
• Performed nonlinear dimensional reduction tool (UMAP) to visualize high-dimensional representation in 2D
• Visualized the attention map to investigate how Vision Transformer performs visual identification
• Preprocessed data and trained multiple machine learning models including predictive model, classification model, linear/logistic regression, random forest, kNN and Bayesian classifier
• Implemented data preprocessing and data mining (PCA) to investigate feature correlations
