Achievements:
He participated in several Kaggle-InClass prediction competitions in late 2019, showcasing his skills in machine learning and data analysis. In November 2019, he tackled the challenge of seismic capability evaluation for school buildings, where he utilized Support Vector Machine (SVM) algorithms. Despite the tough competition, he ranked 80 among 96 individuals, placing in the top 84%. In December 2019, he shifted his focus to steel number detection, employing transfer learning with ResNet50 to predict the number of rebars in images. His efforts paid off, securing a ranking of 16 among 31 teams, putting him in the top 52%. In the same month, he took on the damage state classification challenge, once again leveraging transfer learning with ResNet50. His performance was outstanding, earning him a ranking of 20 among 32 teams, placing him in the top 20%. Through these competitions, he demonstrated his proficiency in machine learning techniques and his ability to tackle complex real-world problems with innovative solutions.
