I am an applied scientist working for AWS ProServe. My specialisation is in AI/ML, optimisation, and also infrastructure/web dev.

I have an master's degree in Advanced Computing at King's College London. My master's dissertation is Multi-Agent Cooperation in Hanabi with Policy Optimisation (repo), supervised by Dr Josh Murphy.

Before that, I graduated with a bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering (with a minor in English Translation) from Sun Yat-Sen University (Guangzhou, China) in 2020. My bachelor's dissertation is Vision-based Autonomous Aerial Object Capturing and Chasing with UAVs (repo), jointly supervised by Dr D. J. Lee from Brigham Young University (Utah, US), and Dr Dong Zhang from SYSU.

I currently reside in London, UK, near the prime meridian.

(in rough reverse chronological order)

• AWS cloud, especially MLOps.
• Graph Neural Network.
• Time Series Forecasting (wouldn't recommand).
• Grafana and SQL.
• Talking to people, a.k.a. consulting.
• Optimisation for operations research, specifically Google OR-Tools.
• Reinforcement Learning.
• Neural Architecture Search and Object Detection. Our main project is an open-source NAS framework aw_nas.
• Text Detection and Key Information Extraction as part of ICDAR 2019 (repo), with my friends @Niansong Zhang and @Shengjie Xiu.
• Computer Vision with OpenCV (okay) and C# (weird).

• See pinned repos below.
• Go graphics stuff, like the Game of Life and L-system.
• Covid-19 data visualisation (demo, repo) with D3.js.

How to pronounce "Songyi"?

• Like "song-EE". In Chinese/Pinyin: "嵩毅/Sōng-Yì". "Patrick" is also welcome but will raise a deprecation warning.

Flamingo?

• Yes, flamingo.
