I am Shiqi Yang, currently a master student from the MSDS program at NYU. I got my bachelor's degree in Mathematics and Statistics from PKU and had several research experiences in Data Mining, Neural Networks and NLP during my undergraduates. I am interested in applying Information Tracer in the fields such as Social Media Monitoring, Data Visualization and Disinformation Detection. I believe our team will provide a more convenient and concise information platform for researchers and companies.
I'm currently a final semester MSDS student at NYU. While applying NLP methods to a federal government dataset in one of my DS elective courses, I developed an interest in this field. I worked with Zhouhan on an extended usage of Information Tracer to detect fake news sources during my Fall 2022 Capstone project. In my free time I enjoy playing basketball, jogging, and watching fútbol highlights.
