I've been learning for data science since I went to Soochow University and majored in Big Data Management in 2017. From freshman year to junior year, I had advanced my skills of programming, data fetching, data mining, EDA (Exploratory Data Analysis) and data analysis by engaging tons of project development and internship. Although I had quite a lot of practical experience, I had not worked in ecstasy on any project until I worked on a face analysis project of Cathay Life Insurance in the summer of my junior year.
This project is about predicting one’s BMI from one’s face image. And I had lots of fun in image-pipeline and designing how to extract and compute the face features of the face images. To me, dealing with image data is much more interesting than processing numeric or text data.
In the next three years, I hope I can improve my skill of computer vision and not just focus on static image. My short-term goal is to build a system that can edit a video automatically and I will choose Vlog type of video on YouTube as my data source first.
With the rapid development of network and technology, our lives are full of information. And the ample information is no longer just structured data, but unstructured data such like video and audio. Since I believe the proportion of unstructured data will dramatically increase in the future, especially video and film data. I hope I can contribute to the innovation of data science and computer vision in my future career.
