Dr. Mingyi Zhang

Classroom mentor of Deep Learning Foundation Nanodegree Program(part-time). Provide on-demand support for mentees. Help mentees understand deep learning better. Keep mentees accountable through weekly check-ins Build a relationship with mentees as guiding them through their Nanodegree program.

- Published 3 academic papers with the long-term collaborators Dr. Oriti, Dr. Goredo and Prof. Han. - Co-supervised a Ph.D. student and a master student, and published a paper. Project: Holographic Entanglement from Quantum Gravity - Built up a dictionary between random tensor networks and quantum gravity theory. - Derived the holographic entanglement entropy using the techniques from quantum information, random tensor networks, group (representation) theory and graph theory.

State Farm Distracted Driver Detection at Kaggle.com - Trained ten base-models by using pre-trained deep learning models ResNet50 and VGG16 with 5-fold cross-validation. - Ensembled the base-models and stacked the predictions to boost the prediction accuracy. - Performed K-Nearest-Neighbor on the testing data and stacked the predictions to reduce losses. - Ranked around 62/1440 at Private Leaderboard.
