Professional Experience

Research Engineer

Feb 2019 - Present

Inventec Corp., Taipei, Taiwan.

  • Invented a novel transition mechanism between motions of simulated characters that enables motion repertoire expansions without additional learning.
  • Devised an accurate inventory simulation and forecasting solution for AI-assisted inventory management, leading to a ~40% reduction in real-world inventory cost.
  • Developed the first-place solution for the intelligent forecasting competition hosted by USAID in 2020.
  • Designed a character controller to produce natural and lifelike movements of simulated characters while obeying highlevel user directives using Deep-RL and GAN.
  • Implemented order forecasting scheme into a centralized system to improve lead-time and maintain reliable product supply of the inventory management process.
  • Researched and deployed SOTA deep learning solutions for internal business units involving computer vision for defect inspection and time-series forecasting (three accepted US patents and three pending patent applications).

Deep Learning Engineer intern

July 2018 - Sep 2018

Industrial Technology Research Institute, Zhudong, Taiwan.

  • Designed a pipeline to clean, preprocess, encode, and decode MIDI files.
  • Developed MAC- Net, an endless music generator using LSTM as the backbone.
  • Implemented GAN to improve the LSTM's memory stability for endless music generation.
