Trained on the CIFIA_100 dataset with MS-ResNet models; participated in converting BERT to SNN architecture using knowledge distillation; independently completed the transformation of the RT_DETR model to SNN architecture; participated in the SNN transformation of the YoloV3 model and the integration of the self-attention mechanism.
Future Network Theory and Applications Laboratory May 2023 - October 2023

Assistant Intern, Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications

  • Mastered basic research techniques, deeply studied computer networking and artificial intelligence related papers, establishing a scientific knowledge base and developing basic scientific thinking and paper writing skills. Understood the core principles of network communication architecture and gained deep insights into network communication experiments.
  • Used C language to encapsulate code for IPv6 network fluctuation testing experiments and assisted in organizing related experiments. Assisted in designing the application of Q learning in the SDN direction, helping to adjust model code and train models.

Research Experience

Machine Learning and Business Analytics December 2022 - February 2023

Massachusetts Institute of Technology (Online)

  • Studied supervised and unsupervised machine learning algorithms, such as linear regression, logistic regression, decision trees, support vector machines, and artificial neural networks.
  • Maritime Commodity Forecasting: Utilized the global AIS dataset to apply decision tree algorithms for predicting commodities transported by energy cargo ships, focusing on details like the origin, destination, and draft depth. Achieved a prediction accuracy of 73% for the 2010-2015 dataset. Confident in the ability to further improve model accuracy with more complex decisions or more data.
  • Mortgage Loan Decision Analysis: Used a dataset of 600,000 mortgage samples from Fannie Mae and Freddie MAC (2000-2006), combined with interest rate indicators from the St. Louis Federal Reserve. Applied logistic regression for decision-making on 30-year fixed-rate mortgages for single households, achieving an 88% decision accuracy rate. Achieved the best confusion matrix result in the team: 96% Recall and 93% Precision.
Residual Block Training for Spiking Neural Networks November 2023 - December 2023

Institute of Automation, Chinese Academy of Sciences

  • The MS-ResNet network allowed for training of deep SNN-based models beyond 32 layers for the first time without degradation or explosion of gradients. Conducted auxiliary confirmation training on the CIFAR-100 dataset for the MS-ResNet architecture with a batch size of 128 for the Resnet-108 SNN model, achieving an average loss of 5%, surpassing previous records.
SNN Transformation of the RT_DETR Model February 2024 - March 2024

Institute of Automation, Chinese Academy of Sciences

  • The RT_DETR marks the first time the DETR series has been capable of real-time processing. Through an in-depth analysis of the model's overall architecture, I improved the newly introduced AIFI and CCFM modules, adapting them to SNN (Spiking Neural Network) mode for data processing and calculations. This adaptation also applies to the model's decoder part using the Deformable Self-Attention mechanism, and comparative experiment analysis has been completed. To our knowledge, this is the first attempt to introduce SNN mode in the DETR series.
Enhanced Feature Fusion in EMS_Yolo March 2024 - April 2024

Institute of Automation, Chinese Academy of Sciences

  • This project was established on the basis of EMS_Yolo (i.e., the SNN version of YoloV3). In the process of handling cross-scale feature fusion, I introduced the SA (Self-Attention) mechanism to enhance the modeling capability of global image positioning. All these steps were implemented using the SNN version. We conducted comparative tests using the EMS_Yolo as a benchmark. The model performance reached SOTA using the SNN version of Resnet18 as the Backbone.
