Projects
Data Analysis on MOOC
Directed by Carolyn Rose, Professor
Carnegie Mellon University
2014
Using Machine Learning methods to analysis students' video watching behaviors and learning behaviors on 10 Coursea courses. Clustering students by their learning behaviors then building a visualization interface for them to get information from other students with similar behaviors.
Utilizing Product Reviews to Predict Ratings for New Product
Course Project for Machine Learning
Carnegie Mellon University
2014
In this project we implemented a model that utilizes review text to improve the prediction for Amazon movie scores. Firstly we use NLP techniques to preprocess raw review text and build the corpus. Next we extracted topic distributions from the corpus using LDA, and built a Hidden Factor Model to learn and predict scores for products. To solve the cold-start problem, we regularize the traditional Hidden Factor Model with an corpus likelihood term and get a better result on scores predicting.
