• Participated in discussions on how to improve the prediction accuracy of the model

Hanoi University of Science High School for Gifted Students (HUS - HSGS)

Computer Science Olympiad Team Trainer,

Summer 2016

• Prepared the HUS HSGS Computer Science Olympiad Team, one of the best in Vietnam, for national and international competitions such as the International Olympiad in Informatics
• Taught how mathematics concepts and theorems such as the Hall’s marriage theorem or the invariant principle can be applied in computer science
• Introduced the students to various advanced data structures, such as Binary Indexed Tree and Interval Tree, and their applications

Trailer Nailer

Web application

• Implemented a web game that allows players to test their movie recognition ability by watching trailers
• Used MongoDB to store information of roughly 200 movies from 5 different genres, and used Node.js to implement a web server to respond to movie information queries
• Used YouTube API to embed in-game movie trailer videos
• Other technologies: Facebook API, Bootstrap

Gomoku AI

Python and C++ program

• Implemented two different Artificial Inteligence (AI) programs that can play the game Gomoku
• The first AI mirrored my own strategy for Gomoku and made move decision based on the score calculated for each possible move. The score calculation rules were set and adjusted based on how closely the AI follow my expected move.
• The second AI utilized the Minimax Algorithm to calculate the best possible move under the assumption that the opponent also played an optimal game.
• Researching to see how a third AI can be implemented using deep learning
• Take a look here

Neural Field for Speech Recognition

Python program

• Given the implementation of the neural field model in C++, re-implemented the model in Python using TensorFlow for better scalability and efficiency
• Doubled the maximum size of the sound data set processable by the model by using sparse tensors
• Modularized the implementation of the neural network by utilizing tensor slicing and joining, allowing the model to support any given number of neural field layers

Scanned Document Black Edge Remover

C program

• Used depth first search to identify and delete black edge pixels in scanned images of document
• Used C, written in Linux environment
