Master's Thesis

Model Enhancement and Implementation of Human Pose Estimation Based on the Mamba State Space Architecture

Advisor: Prof. Chin-Tien Wu

Integrated Mamba sequence blocks into a Video Pose Transformer for GPU-accelerated monocular 2D-to-3D pose estimation; reduced inference latency and training time through CUDA optimization, parallel data pipelines, and modular integration.

Internship Experience

2026/03 – 2026/07

Data Scientist Intern

Whale Force Holdings Ltd.

Systematic Strategy Research: Developed a modular strategy evaluation and statistical validation protocol, testing each rule's excess returns and Sharpe ratio against 10,000-path Monte Carlo random-pick null distributions to separate statistically significant alpha from selection luck.

Financial Statement Parsing: Built a financial-statement pipeline using rule-based XBRL tree traversal, recovering line items missed by the official SEC company-facts API and validating them against OCR ground truth.

Institutional Portfolio Research: Clustered institutional investors from 44 quarters of raw SEC 13F filings using engineered portfolio features—concentration, breadth, and turnover—and direct holdings-weight vectorization; validated cluster quality across silhouette, Calinski-Harabasz, and Davies-Bouldin indices to yield interpretable investor-style segments.

Projects

2024/06

LoRA and Combined Parameter-Efficient Tuning for Large Models

Investigated LoRA, BitFit, Adapter, and Prefix-tuning across vision and NLP tasks. LoRA + Adapter improved vision classification accuracy by +3.6% (0.8775 to 0.9134) with only 1.6% trainable parameters, while LoRA + BitFit improved RoBERTa-base accuracy from 0.931 to 0.945 on SST-2.

2025/03 – 2025/06

Data Science Project: Pima Indian Diabetes Dataset

Owned the full pipeline from raw data to conclusions, building classification pipelines across logistic regression, decision trees, random forests, and XGBoost with preprocessing, domain-specific feature engineering, stratified cross-validation, and grid search. Evaluated the models using Accuracy, ROC-AUC, Precision, Recall, F1, and calibration curves, achieving 83.6%, 91.2%, 84.5%, 88.2%, and 86.3% for the five numerical metrics, respectively.

Selected Honors & Competitions

2026/02

TSMC IT CareerHack

1st Place

Built a Docker-isolated refactoring platform with LangChain Deep Agents, FastAPI, React, and MongoDB, automating iterative analysis, refactoring, testing, and quality evaluation across three legacy repositories.

2026/03 – 2026/06

WorldQuant International Quant Championship

4th Place in Taiwan

Built a closed-loop alpha research engine that encoded backtest results as graph constraints, pruned redundant hypotheses, and re-ranked signals by marginal portfolio contribution. Evaluated 5,164 alpha expressions, with 1,023 passing all seven platform checks, and helped construct a 52-alpha portfolio that finished 4th in Taiwan.

2024/01

TSMC IT CareerHack

4th Place

Fine-tuned LLaVA with LoRA for task-specific visual question answering, supported by targeted data augmentation and noise filtering.

2025/03

TSMC Intelligent Manufacturing Workshop

Top-Performing Team, Scheduling Optimization

Formulated the problem as a graph-based job-shop optimization, converting locations to nodes and distances to weighted edges, and applied Integer Linear Programming (ILP) to obtain the optimal schedule.

2024/05 – 2024/06

AI CUP 2024 Image Data Generation for UAVs

Honorable Award

Built a mask-conditioned image-generation pipeline with targeted augmentation and hyperparameter tuning, evaluated using Fréchet Inception Distance (FID).

2025/03 – 2025/04

AI GO Skyrocketed Stocks Forecasting

Built and tuned XGBoost, Random Forest, and TabNet models for stock-movement prediction using feature selection and tabular feature interactions.
