Wenlong's top 5 strengths

Futuristic, Deliberative, Restorative, Intellection, Maximizer

METHOD, APPARATUS AND SYSTEM OF RECOVERING AN OPERATING SYSTEM

A device, method and system for recovering an operating system may comprise a near field communication module; In some embodiments, the recovery manager may initiate a session between portable devices through a near field communication connection established by the near field communication module.

DISPLAYING AREA ADJUSTMENT

In an embodiment of the invention, a portable electronic device may conserve power while in a normal power mode. The display screen of the portable electronic device may be switched from an original screen mode to an adjusted screen mode. In adjusted screen mode, the display screen may display an adjustable displaying area that is reduced from an original size and it may include an inactive area sized to reduce display consumption of power.

CATEGORY-BASED KEYBOARD

Apparatuses, systems, media, and/or methods may involve a keyboard and/or a selection of an element thereof. The architecture of the keyboard configuration may be based on one or more categories, such as a hand category and/or a finger category. In addition, a touch area may be recognized, which may be formed between a user digit and the key of the keyboard configuration.

Deep Learning based ADAS PoC on Intel GO Platform

The 1st Object (car, person, truck, traffic lights and speed limitation signs) detection and road segmentation PoC/reference design on Intel Go (Car Branch: Deverton + A10) platform, for which we performed deep learning model training, customization and optimization, with Intel A10 FPGA acceleration. [2016.9-2018.4]

AI based Auto Contouring for OAR(Organs At Risk)s

Led team developed a 3D U-Net based AI model to auto contour OAR(Organs At Risk)s. It supports many tumor types and can reduce the manual contouring time of physician sharply. This can be deployed to hospital as an independent local service or integrate with multiple exisitng radiotherapy software [2019.6-2021.6]

Open source machine translation plus post-editing

Developed a machine tranlsaion engine based on Moses, with its corresponding web service API, windows client, and web page access. With these capabilities, it can be used to help to reduce cost for Intel's localization process, by using the model called 'MT + Post-editing'. This MT engine is being maintained and used for Intel internal for a long period until now. [2009.1-2010.12]

Thought Vector

A thought vector is like a word vector, which is typically a vector of 300-500 numbers that represent a word. A word vector represents a word’s meaning as it relates to other words (its context) with a single column of numbers.

Machine Learning Algorithms used in NLP

Natural Language Processing is a very useful domain of using machine learning technologies, and has been developed for many years. Now devices are getting smaller and smaller, NLP becomes a possible better input/output way for small devices.

AI-complete

In the field of artificial intelligence, the most difficult problems are informally known as AI-complete or AI-hard, implying that the difficulty of these computational problems is equivalent to that of solving the central artificial intelligence problem—making computers as intelligent as people, or strong AI.

Four-dimensional computed tomography (4D-CT) has been used in radiation therapy, which allows for tumor and organ motion tracking through the breathing cycle. In this paper,we apply a deep learning based deformable registration network (RegNet) to estimate the deformation field for the given scan pair of 4D-CT. The proposed network was trained in an unsupervised manner without the need of any expert annotation.

Spare Time Fun Projects

LLM Play Ground is a place I summarized all the latest open source LLM online demos for free play and try run.
Winnie is a home robot project developed by me in my spare time started from July of 2017. She is composed by 4 wheels, 2 robot arms and a neck to move cameras with the head freely. The cost for its hardware is less than 2000 RMB. The initial intention of making this robot is to try different algorithms and collecting data more conveniently.
