My name is Chunpai Wang (王春派). I am an applied AI/ML lead at JPMorgan Chase currently. I obtained my Ph.D. degree in Computer Science from University at Albany - State University of New York, where I worked on user modeling and sequential recommendation. During my Ph.D. studies, I was fortunate to be advised by Dr. Sherry Sahebi on user modeling and recommendation, Dr. Feng Chen from UT-Dallas, and Dr. Daniel B. Neill from NYU on anomaly pattern detection on large-scale graphs. I received a B.S. degree in Computer Science and a B.A. degree in Statistics from the University of Rochester, and I was fortunate to be advised by Dr. Jiebo Luo on graph mining research during my undergraduate studies.

Research

I am broadly interested in machine learning and data mining, particularly user modeling, personalization, sequential recommender systems, counterfactual policy evaluation, deep reinforcement learning, and anomalous event detection on graph data. Overall, I have seven years of hands-on experience doing research independently and collaboratively, including identifying the nature of a problem, conducting literature reviews, statistical modeling, rigorous experimental design, and result analysis. Following is a list of my publications.
