About Me
My name is Haowen Jiang. I obtained a PhD of linguistics from Rice University and spent most of my early career in academia doing research on indigenous languages of Taiwan, all of them related to languages such as Tagalog and Malay/Indonesian. Then along came COVID-19, which disrupted most people's lives, including mine. Somehow I became hooked on machine learning and Python programming. After several months of self-learning, I transitioned from an IT muggle to an AI engineer. My current job primarily focuses on Natural Language Processing, including text classification, clustering, topic modeling, document similarity, and information retrieval.
