Machine Learning in Computational Anatomy (MR images)
September 1, 2013 – Present
Extract shape,cortical thickness, and appearance features from 3D MR images. Super-high-dimension classification between disease of Alzheimer's type and normal aging cases. Explored deep learning, sparse coding and manifold learning applied to medical images.
Shape Analysis for Alzheimer's Disease.
May 1, 2013 – September 1, 2013
This project studies the problem of embedding healthy control (HC) and Alzheimer's disease (AD) subjects into an anatomical shape space by computing a dissimilarity representation between subjects. Manifold learning techniques are applied on the dissimilarity representation to obtain embeddings for different subjects followed by classification in the embedded space. - Matlab, bash script, C++.
Face Recognition Project
October 1, 2012 – February 1, 2013
Implemented a prototype system of face-recognition. Occlusion and shadow are removed by Robust Principle Component Analysis. Compared the performance of sparse representation classifier and SVM on Feret database.
Supervised learning for vessel detection in CT images.
May 1, 2012 – September 1, 2012
Pre-processing of images to improve detection accuracy. Implemented feature extraction/evaluation and classification algorithms. Explored dictionary learning methods applied on medical images.
Unsupervised Learning For Spatial Outliers Detection In A Location Entity Dataset
September 1, 2008 – January 1, 2009
Designed Implemented an unsupervised learning algorithm and developed a tool to automatically detect error data entries for Windows Live Local Search (predecessor of Bing maps). Incorporated density-based clustering and natural language processing. Developed a tool for labeling landmark.(JavaScript/live local search API)
Content-based Image Retrieval (CBIR) project
September 1, 2007 – July 1, 2008
Implemented a web-based prototype of CBIR, running on a 10,000-image database. Developed a new Query-by-Multiple-Example method based on user's feedback to refine the result.
Image enhancement on halftone image for printer
March 1, 2007 – July 1, 2007
Designed and developed image processing/enhancement algorithm specified for halftone image for improving printing quality of printers (collaborated with KYOCERA Co. JP). (C++/OpenCV)
Cultural Fit Analysis
The candidate's extensive academic and professional background in research and development, particularly in machine learning and computer vision, aligns well with a data-driven culture. The variety of projects, from medical imaging to spatial data mining and face recognition, indicates intellectual curiosity and a willingness to tackle diverse challenges. However, the target role of 'Data Analyst' might be a step down from their recent Engineering Manager/Tech Lead Manager roles, which could impact long-term cultural fit if the role does not offer sufficient technical depth or leadership opportunities.
Soft Skills & Operational Fit
The candidate's experience as an Engineering Manager and Tech Lead Manager at Google and Cruise suggests strong leadership, communication, and team collaboration skills. The project descriptions, while technical, are clear and concise, indicating good written communication. The diverse project portfolio demonstrates adaptability and a proactive approach to problem-solving.
