Dr Yifan Xie started his data science journey with his doctorate research about semantic computing in the aerospace, and gradually developed his machine learning knowledge with a combination of MOOC study and industrial projects.
Yifan started competing on Kaggle, Google’s data science competition platform, since 2015. Currently he ranked 524 out of 65000+ competitors and achieve his Kaggle Master status in August 2017. Yifan also co-moderate the KaggleNoobs slack community - a social place for Kagglers and data science enthusiasts to exchange on anything from predictive modelling techniques to hardware configuration for machine learning.
