Team Member, 10/2023 - 10/2024
Funded by China Computer Federation (CCF) and Tencent AI Lab Rhino-Bird Project. This research proect aims to integrate current large language models into intelligent code generation tasks and push the technology towards application. To date, this project has yielded two publications and one more paper in review.
Co-leader, 05/2022 - 04/2023
Funded by Education Ministry of China, and I’m the co-founder and co-leader of this project. Kuramoto model-based Modelling and Application of Brain Structure and Functional Network. Aiming to build up the functional network (FC network) with a structural network (SC network) as the method to get an SC network is much easier than a FC network. This project is a joint application with Tianjin Normal University and Shanghai University of Financial and Economics. This project has closed with excellent project award and a feasible FC network prediction application.
Project Manager, 05/2022 - 03/2023
Application of the computer vision’s research result by developing an application to extract the human figure out of the background of a picture or video. This research project ultimately yielded a viable video segmentation software, and the project’s algorithm paper, for which I served as the first author, received the Outstanding Paper Award and the Outstanding Presentation Board Award at the Creative China Innovation Annual Conference Central South University Station.
Project Manager, 02/2023 - 08/2023
Software project derived from a national boutique course in Central South University (Poems & Bridge). This project is aimed at building up a mini-app about the ancient buildings so that people could view those buildings wherever they are, to achieve the goal of rising people’s awareness on the preservation of old buildings. This project comes out a digital building museum (‘Louyue’ app) with a software patent.
Team Leader, 06/2022 - 07/2022
Developed a smart community management system in Java and Vue. Awarded as Outstanding Individual during the development.
Individual Project, 07/2022 - 10/2023
An online shopping website which has been developing for years. It has two verions, Javascript version and React version, in order to understand the development of front-end frameworks. It also uses techs which are used in modern Chinese software companies. It’s a playground for me to learn how to develop a project out of the view of company. It also helps me to understand the development of techs better.
Team Member, 08/2021 - 09/2021
Developed a chatting room software based on C/S mode, which awarded as Excellent Project during the internship practice.
Project Manager, 10/2020 - 06/2021
A video portrait segment system based on MobileNet-V3, which can both be used in terminal and a graphical interface. The whole system is developed by C++ and Python. It won the Central China Region Third Prize of Service Outsourcing Innovation and Entrepreneurship Competition.
