Jeff Wang

I'm interested in applying machine learning and robotics to human problems. Currently I'm a graduate student in the Computer Science and Engineering Department at UC San Diego.

Previously I worked at ATA Engineering, where I primarily supported NASA JPL on their Mars 2020 program.

Take a look at some of the projects I’ve worked on, and feel free to reach out!

Projects

Instagram Hashtag Generator

transfer learning, pytorch, php

Trained a convolutional neural network to predict hashtags that would boost a post’s popularity based on the image in the post. Used a pretrained ResNet-50 network for transfer learning. Data scraping was done in PHP; network was implemented in Pytorch. Here is a short description of the project, as well as a summary of the background and final results. Then a link to a Medium article detailing the process.

Where's Wally?

human-robot interaction, ROS, C++

Again, description, then Medium link.

TurtleBot Wall Follower

robotics, ROS, PCL, C++

Same old, same old.

R(2+1)D Convolutions for Video Classification

caffe2, onnx, transfer learning, multi-gpu training, k8s

The unreasonable effectiveness of variational autoencoders...

Artistic Colorization of Black and White Images

machine learning, pytorch, sql

Whatchu think?
