I graduated from the PhD program in April 2016. The main expertise is to gain insight into data types and develop suitable algorithms. The main researches are to combine the modern deep learning technology and traditional statistics to apply on time series analysis, computer vision, natural language processing, etc. We are trying to construct an accurate computer-aided medical system in the medical field.

We hope to improve the quality of medical services and reduce labor costs through algorithmic research, and empower the general public to use our researches. This laboratory has the computing resources including 21 NVIDIA® Tesla® series GPU. We provide an integrated development environment of RStudio Server Pro on our own server, you only need to connect with a browser without any local resources. Moreover, you also can develop web applications and publish to our Shiny Server.
The current landscape of medical diagnosis heavily relies on various forms of blood tests, imaging studies, and physiological assessments. However, physicians often gain insight solely from the examination results obtained during a patient's hospital visit. This cross-sectional data is insufficient to portray the dynamic changes within a patient's body and is susceptible to various biases. To address these challenges, an approach involving IoT technology has been employed. We enable the acquisition of healthcare data spanning from hospital to home settings.
More IoTsTraditionally, medical researchers would invest considerable time in elucidating the associations between specific blood tests, imaging studies, physiological evaluations, and distinct medical conditions. Through the establishment of an extensive dataset annotated with "arbitrary examinations" and "arbitrary diseases" within electronic medical records, deep learning techniques have the potential to unveil previously undiscovered correlations. This advancement contributes to the rapid progression of medical knowledge.
More researchesThe electrocardiogram (ECG) serves as an economical and widely applicable diagnostic tool, capturing information regarding cardiac electrical activity, cardiac structure, and anatomical relationships. Leveraging deep learning techniques, we have demonstrated the capacity to detect over 50 types of diseases from a single ECG, making it applicable across hospital, community, and home settings. Our aspiration is to utilize artificial intelligence-based ECG systems to shape public health policies for cardiovascular disease screening.

We believe that having a diverse and inclusive team will help us to advance AI, for the betterment of human life. We value different viewpoints. All backgrounds, ideas, and perspectives are welcome.
By working with our group, you will:
Work on important problems in healthcare domain using AI.
Build and deploy machine learning / deep learning algorithms and applications.
Values:
Here are some values that we would like to see in you:
1. Hard work: We expect you to have a strong work ethic. We love our work and are passionate about the AI mission. We also value velocity, and like people that get things done quickly.
2. Flexibility: You should be willing to dive into different facets of a project. For example, besides developing machine learning algorithms, you may also need to work on data acquisition, conduct user interviews, or do frontend engineering. This may also require going outside your comfort zone, and learning to do new tasks in which you’re not an expert.
3. Learning: You should have a strong growth mindset, and want to learn continuously. This can involve reading books, taking coursework, talking to experts, or re-implementing research papers. We will also prioritize your learning and help point you in the right direction; but you need to put in the work to take advantage of this.
4. Teamwork: We work together in small teams. You are expected to support and collaborate with others; in turn you will also receive support from your teammates.
Prerequisites:
You should have a public health background or a software engineering background:
1. Public health background: You are professional in biostatistics and epidemiology, and like to learn programming. Previous ML/AI research experience would be a plus but is not required.
2. Software engineering background: We also encourage engineers without much AI background who are interested in developing ML applications to apply. Applicants should have made significant contributions to software projects in the past, for example through developing software systems at a company or through significant open source contributions.
Applying:
Please see below for how to apply to work with our group. The scholarship is only provided for students with outstanding performance at the related courses.
PhD students:
You should apply to graduate institute of life sciences at NDMC, and email us at xup6fup0629@gmail.com to arrange an interview time. The only acceptable research topic is algorithm development. We will provide a scholarship of NTD 28,000-45,000/mon accroding to your capability.
MS students:
You should apply to school of public health at NDMC, and participate our research projects in a co-directed way. We will provide a scholarship of NTD 8,000-20,000/mon accroding to the work content.
Other students:
We only provide the opportunity of internship without scholarship. Outside of coursework, we expect this to be your primary academic activity. As it takes time to familiarize oneself with a research project and to make significant contributions, we expect that students will be involved for at least one semester, with a strong preference for those who can potentially stay involved for the full year.
Engineer:
Currently, we only accept the data engineer with sufficient experience to apply our position, and there is no position for algorithm engineers. The salary is ranged NTD 650,000-900,000/year accroding to your position. We will evaluate your work performance to adjust your position and salary each quarter. Please email us xup6fup0629@gmail.com with your resume and two paragraphs on why you’d like to get involved.
Research assistant:
The research assistant don't need the programing background. The work content included general administration and IRB application. The full-time salary is ranged NTD 32,000-50,000/mon and the part-time salary is ranged NTD 10,000-20,000/mon accroding to your work content. Please email us xup6fup0629@gmail.com with your resume, a strong preference for those who want to be an engineer.
