Internship Experience
Alibaba — Nanjing, China
Artificial Intelligence Intern — June 2024 - August 2024
- Constructed an LLM model for generating novels
- Developed and optimized machine learning models, improving prediction accuracy.
- Conducted data analysis to streamline training processes, reducing training time by 20%.
- Collaborated with cross-functional teams to deploy models into production, enhancing customer experience.
Academic Projects
Personal website (https://szr.hk)
- A comprehensive platform that currently offers various services, including office applications, artificial intelligence tools, and academic resources.
- Services provided include office platform, LLM model chatbot similar to ChatGPT, scholar research platform that shows research results from projects I have worked on, and an email platform on which users can register their own email account with a “@szr.hk” extension.
Novel generating model
- Fed a pre-trained model, Qianwen-2-7b with data that I collected and cleaned to fine tune the model.
- Resulting performance generating short novels has been excellent.
Improving the accuracy of LLM models in media generation
- Optimized the architecture of Transformer models to improve the accuracy of text-to-image and text-to-video generation, while accelerating training and reducing computational costs.
Delivery App Development
- Collaborated with a team to develop a phone app for a non-profit organization, “Caring For Friends.”
- Features of the app allow for both administrators and delivery drivers to run a powerful food delivery system.
Privacy policy analysis by LLM and RAG
- Applying LLMs and RAG to answer critical privacy and security-related questions from a dataset of privacy policy documents.
