Work Experience


Internship

STEP Intern @ Google TensorFlow Lite, 2021.7 - 2021.9

  • To further facilitate TensorFlow Lite on-device training, this work introduced model distillation method for model compression in TensorFlow Lite Model Maker library.
  • Followed Object-oriented programming principles to implement model distillation for image, audio and text classification tasks in Model Maker Framework, enabling users to create a fine-tuned end-to-end model on a customized dataset in just 6 lines of code.
  • Carried out comprehensive experiments to show that the work can lead to a 90% reduction of parameters while maintaining a competitive and sometimes better accuracy performance compared to the teacher network.
