Hi, this is Kien. I am a Master student, studying Computational Analytics in College of Computing at Georgia Tech. Previously, I have three years working as a data scientist focused on customer analytics and personalization. My research interests include next-best-action systems, recommendation systems, and applications of representation learning and optimization to personalization.

My notable projects includes:

  1. Lookalike audience system: Built an Auto-ML engine, using gradient boosting tree and mutual information, which would iteratively find and target potential customers to increase click-through rate by ~2.5 times for multiple marketing campaigns.
  2. Semantic layer about customer: Developed a system of ML models, based on boosted tree, sequence modeling, and multi-task learning, to infer 70 common customer attributes which led to 2 times increase in ML models’ reusability.
  3. Promotional campaign system: Established a promotion budget allocation system using uplift modeling and integer programming to increase ~90% transaction count and save $35K through a 75% reduction in excessive promotion cost.
  4. Lifetime value prediction: Applied survival analysis and propensity model to predict churn and Customer lifetime value for non-subscription business
