I like to explore and create. I spend most of my time studying how to realize artificial intelligence in physical and virtual environments. I graduated from the University of Chicago with B.S. in mathematics and B.A. in physics. I am currently a PhD candidate at TTI-Chicago. Professor Matthew Walter is my advisor.
Projects
Memory architectures in model-free reinforcement learning
Active imitation learning
Glyph-aware Chinese character embeddings
Demos
Focus, simulating focus+depth visual effect with CSS 3D transform and CSS filter. (This demo requires webkit filter support, so it only works in the latest desktop Chrome browser)
Wikipedia Plus, a Chrome extension that enhances Wikipedia's user experience
TwiThinks, a Twitter data analytics project that studies and visualizes Twitter data. Our realtime #Ivoted (for Obama vs Romney) scoreboard received 20K+ hits on Election Day 2012.
I have interest in quantum theory, mathematical logic, philosophy, visualization, and emerging technologies and more. I often share my thoughts about them on my blog Substance.
