Research Projects at Nankai University

I was one of the first to join lab work among the undergraduate students of the Department of Computer, Nankai University. I affiliated the Nankai University Student Chapter, Association for Computing Machinery during the year as a freshman, attending a R&D group concentrating on XML. Later I became Vice President of the Chapter and build up an e-business group. Then I, together with the members of the e-business group, entered Intelligent Information System and Technology Lab when I was a sophister. I have been working in the lab since then. So I have experiences in co-operating for an entire project and managing a project. The projects I have attended are listed below:

Classification-based Spam Filtering – Undergraduate Thesis

My undergraduate thesis topic, Classification-based Spam Filtering, was selected by myself, because I wanted to do something interesting and useful for my thesis. At that time, I found most e-mail filtering systems classify e-mails only by some simple patterns such as particular sender or subject. Thus I wanted to create a method which can take the whole e-mail content into account to filter spam. I defined my own method to express an e-mail’s characteristics into a vector, and then employ a neural network to classify the e-mails into two categories: spam and normal e-mails. The testing results show that this method achieves high accuracy. My thesis got the highest mark in my grade.

“Nankai University Classroom Information Query System”

This project is consigned by the Provost’s office, Nankai University. I was the leader and a major investigator of the project. This project implements a WEB-based system that can provide real time information of classroom usage in the campus. A user can query by classroom number, time and teacher’s name. The system is applied in the Main Building of Nankai University, providing a touch screen interface.

An prototype of intelligent information push system

This project is a collaborative project between Nankai University and T&S (Beijing) Network Technology Co., Ltd. I was a major investigator and took the work of system developing and debugging. This system is developed for the T&S (Beijing) Network Technology Co., Ltd’s servers (T&S Serials). The push system can automatically supply articles to users. It monitors users’ behaviours to obtain users’ interests in different types of articles and adjust the ratio of each type of articles pushed to the user according to the user interest information the system gets.

I have completed a paper on this system, with the title A User-Interest-Based Intelligent System for Information Push.

An e-business project named “WEBook

This project is accomplished by the e-business group of the Nankai University Student Chapter, Association for Computing Machinery. I was the leader of the group and have done majority of all work in the project. This project implements an e-business system based on Java technology, using IBM WebSphere as the application server. We have new ideas of associating a lot of booksellers together, using some linear programming algorithms in the system to offer efficient goods flow.

This project was awarded First Prize in the 2nd Huawei Science and Technology Festival of Nankai University, 2000. And later in 2001 it was awarded Third Prize in the 7th “Challenge Cup” National Academic, Science and Technology Works Competition for College Students.
