I work at IDEO, a global design consultancy, where I work at the cutting edge of machine learning and human centered design. Helping clients create new products and services. Background: - Worked on developing machine learning methods applied to the design thinking process - Background in deep learning, nlp, and unsupervised learning - Machine learning research in deep learning applied to education and assisted sense-making (paper below) - Worked in neuroscience lab on predicting emotional states and psychological constructs from physiological signals - Lived at a zen monastery - Co-author of course on Deep Learning and TensorFlow Prev: Machine learning researcher focused on education and mental health with deep experience in deep NLP (natural language processing) and (neuro) physiological signals and behavioral research. Broad and deep background bridging applied statistics and the social sciences including statistical learning theory, probability, deep learning and the computational social sciences (anthropology, psychology). Tools: Experience building learning systems primarily using TensorFlow (which I've taught a course and am writing a book about), Python (primary language), and Google Cloud AI tools. Uses R for data analysis and creating reproducible research and writing books and articles. Machine learning interests are in unsupervised learning, generative models, representation learning, sequence and language models to help intelligent machines better understand human socio and cultural behave. My first language is English and second and up and coming language is Mandarin Chinese, my Chinese name is 郑梵力. I'm self-motivated and internally driven with an insatiable diet for knowledge, minimalism, and pushing the edges.
