Yizhou Chi

Hi!

I am Yizhou Chi.

I am currently a 5th year EECS master student @ UC Berkeley, advised by Dan Klein, and I just graduated with a double-major in Computer Science and Cognitive Science in Spring 2023.

My research interest centers around facilitating meaningful communication between humans and computers through language interaction. This entails developing AI systems capable of comprehending both implicit and explicit meanings conveyed by humans, maintaining long-term coherence in conversations, and continuously improving through self-correction and self-examination.

  • Feature Selection of High Dimensional Data by Adaptive Potential Particle Swarm Optimization
    Xingyue Huang, Yizhou Chi, Yu Zhou
    2019 IEEE Congress on Evolutionary Computation (CEC)
    We proposed an improved algorithm on Particle Swarm Optimization, capable of classifying high-dimensional data with small training samples; The proposed algorithm makes use of ReliefF to reduce irrelevant features and follows an adapted way to select cut-points based on the feature size of the dataset to achieve higher average accuracy compared to the existed PSO algorithms.

  • An Empirical Study on Two-child Policy in China Based on Statistical Analysis and Machine Learning
    Yizhou Chi, Xingyue Huang, Yu Zhou
    Applied statistical methods to explore different factors that influence the expectancy of a second child in China. An imbalance classification model is trained using real-world data from both rural and city regions
