Early Projects

[2019.07] CoupletAI: A couplet AI system implemented with PyTorch. Given the first line of a couplet, our system can predict the second line.

[2019.01] libkdtree: A KD-Tree model written in C++ with C and Python bindings. In big data and high-dimensional scenarios, the performance of the K-nearest neighbor algorithm based on our library is much higher than that of the scikit-learn library.

[2018.04] ProxyPool: An IP proxy pool implemented in Python which can automatically crawl and verify the proxy IP from the internet (300+ stars in Github).

[2017.03] plume: A lightweight library that implements some common machine learning and linear algebra algorithms with Python and NumPy.
