NYC Subway ‘Hotcar’ Visualization

Published:

NYC as a metropolitan city, its public transportation plays a vital role for the convenience of both citizens and visitors. However, during summer time, the peak tourist season, a major issue occurred frequently with subway cabins over years. These cabins are regarded as hotcars, caused by the air-conditioning breakdowns happened 10 times a day during summer. In total, there were nearly 6,500 “hotcars” from 2010 to 2014, and the majority of those incidents occurred during the hottest months. This problem brings terrible experiences for the users. So my friends and I create this interactive visualization by D3.js to summarize the past ‘hotcars’ history.

Role of plant MicroRNA in cross-species regulatory networks of humans

Published in BMC Systems Biology, 2016

Background: plant microRNAs have been found still active after digestion. Goal: exploratory research about whether exogenous miRNA derived from vegetables will have impact on human in RNA interaction level. More specific: computational prediction of the influence of plant microRNA on human RNA expression level in different organs(stomach, kidney, liver etc). Future Exploration: may aim at exploring the influence of GMO(genetically modified organisms) food on human.Role: three-year research, working as the main contributor.

Integrating Multiple Data Sources and Learning Models to Predict Infectious Diseases in China

Published in AMIA 2019 Summit, 2018

Goal: infectious disease(flu, HFRS, mumps etc.) morbidity rate prediction. More specific: compared to traditional infeactious disease prediction which mainly focus on historical morbidity incidences, our research uses multimodal deep learning, combining info from morbidity history, weather, air quality and search engine/ social network trend. And the result(avg MAPE ~12%) greatly outperforms traditional ML method(ARIMA, xgboost etc). Role: three-month research, working as the major contributor.
