Tracking and classification of microglia under wide field microscope

(Supervisor: Qionghai Dai)

• Trained U-Net for tracking and segmentation for video of microglia in motion recorded by wide field microscope and contrastive learning network (SimSiam) for classification of cell subtypes.
• Researched new algorithms of data enhancement for positive samples needed in Simsiam based on GAN.
• Designed transfer learning method between two neural networks.

Modeling DNA sequences with natural language models

(Supervisor: Xiaowo Wang)

• Explored efficient methods for DNA sequence tokenization with reference to the BPE algorithm.
• Built Neural Networks with multi-layer CNN, LSTM and CRF to perform various downstream tasks related to DNA sequences.
• Fine-tuned the DNABERT family of models and found motifs in DNA sequences as the attention scores recorded.

Computing-in-memory chip with memristor

(Supervisor: Bin Gao)

• Applied convolutional neural network on chip based on memristor implementation.
• Tested the memristor chip and counted the number of bad tracks using the given SDK.
