Toward Data Science & Machine Learning

Near the end of my PhD study (2018), I decided to learn more about data science and machine learning. Below is a summary of the effort at that period.

Taiwan AI Academy #

  • Taiwan AI Academy Technical Leader Program, Taipei, March - May 2018(台灣人工智慧學校,技術領袖班第一期
    • Receive lectures on a variety of machine learning topics including traditional ML (regression, classification, clusrering) and deep learning (NN, RNN, CNN, RL, etc).
    • Hands-on experience in python (pandas, scikit-learn, tensorflow, keras), as well as data science competitions.
    • Participate in IBM x FET AI Contest held during the school. Team won the 1st place.
    • Final project: Improving Weather Forecast
