Hello! I'm James Fu 👋

A current M.S. Data Science student @ UT Austin. I aim to deepen my understanding of various machine learning methodologies.

About Me

💙 🐻

This past year, I graduated from UCLA with a B.S. in Computational Biology (Data Science concentration), where I developed a strong foundation in data science and software engineering, with a particular focus on NLP, design, and biotech applications. I'm mainly proficient in Python, but I occasionally dabble in languages like C++, JavaScript, SQL, and R.

👾 🤘

I'm a current Master's student at UT Austin studying Data Science, where I'm learning to build language models by working with transformers and architectures like GPT-3 and enhancing my skills in statistical methods.

⚙️ 🍵

Over the past 7+ years, I’ve worked on various coding projects, with a focus on Python and full-stack development. I'm also seeking full-time opportunities in Data Science, Analytics, Software Engineering, or any related field. If I'm not at my computer, you'll find me in the kitchen trying new recipes or outside playing tennis.

Projects

ML-Based Astrocyte Subtype Quantification

image

Developed a pipeline using unsupervised machine learning to identify six astrocyte subtypes through spatial clustering of spatial transcriptomic data from the Allen Mouse Brain Atlas, discovered 104 astrocyte-specific genes through differential expression analysis with Bonferroni correction across 10+ million cells.

Enhancing Robustness in Natural Language Inference Models

Enhanced NLI robustness by fine-tuning ELECTRA-small using dataset cartography and contrast sets with distractors, reweighting hard-to-learn examples during training to reduce artifacts. Achieved an 8% accuracy increase on new contrast sets after adding distractors and reweighting training examples to improve model robustness.
