  • Auto Defect Detection Using Customer Reviews for Product Recall Insurance Analysis

    Frontiers in Applied Mathematics and Statistics

    While there is a large number of OCRs available on social media and e-commerce sites, it is difficult for insurers and manufacturers to manually inspect those OCRs for defective information, which will delay product recall. This research demonstrated a novel predictive model using Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) models and Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) topic model to extract product defect information from OCRs. This research also proposes a novel approach, combined with RNN and LDA models…

    While there is a large number of OCRs available on social media and e-commerce sites, it is difficult for insurers and manufacturers to manually inspect those OCRs for defective information, which will delay product recall. This research demonstrated a novel predictive model using Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) models and Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) topic model to extract product defect information from OCRs. This research also proposes a novel approach, combined with RNN and LDA models, to provide the insurers and the policyholders with an early view of product defects.

Projects

  • Chicago Divvy Bike Trip Recommendation Engine

    We designed and built a bike trip recommendation engine for bike rider to plan bike trip and to experience biking in the Chicago area. The recommendation engine per-computes best destination for each station using Vector Space Model and Cosine Similarity algorithm through Hadoop and Mapreduce. The bike trip recommendation engine also uses Google Maps API to provide the origin station, return station, and the bike route for biker to visualize.

  • Bayesian Analysis of Heart Disease Data

    -

    A Bayesian analysis performed on a data set that is composed of medical information for a collection of individual patients. The medical information includes data such as age, sex, various health markers, and the absence or presence of heart disease. For the purposes of this analysis, we are interested in the absence or presence of heart disease. In particular, we wish to create a Bayesian model from which we can use to predict the probability of the occurrence of heart disease for a given…

    A Bayesian analysis performed on a data set that is composed of medical information for a collection of individual patients. The medical information includes data such as age, sex, various health markers, and the absence or presence of heart disease. For the purposes of this analysis, we are interested in the absence or presence of heart disease. In particular, we wish to create a Bayesian model from which we can use to predict the probability of the occurrence of heart disease for a given patient, as well as to explain the relationship between the probability of the occurrence of heart disease and a patient’s age and cholesterol level.

    We designed and created a medical fitness device that tracks medical exercises, provides
    real­time feedback and analytics, and seeks to improve patient compliance. A patient straps the
    device to his leg before a home physical therapy session and pairs it with his computer. While
    the exercise is being performed, the device’s sensors capture acceleration and rotation data from
    the user’s movements which is then modeled for visualization on a computer screen. An

    We designed and created a medical fitness device that tracks medical exercises, provides
    real­time feedback and analytics, and seeks to improve patient compliance. A patient straps the
    device to his leg before a home physical therapy session and pairs it with his computer. While
    the exercise is being performed, the device’s sensors capture acceleration and rotation data from
    the user’s movements which is then modeled for visualization on a computer screen. An
    animated bar on the screen simultaneously displays the correct motion for an exercise chosen by
    the user that provides guidance and helps the user perform the exercise correctly. The device is
    powered by an embedded rechargeable battery and can be charged with a standard mini USB
    cable. This project received 3rd place in the 2016 Cozad New Venture Competition and has been
    accepted into the 2016-­2017 iVenture, Polsky, and Summer@CIE Accelerators for further
    development.
