Hello. I'm Runyu Guan, an SDE in Amazon.com working on AWS issue management. I graduated from University of Southern California, also a Research Assistant in Spatial Computing Lab (moved to University of Minnesota, Twin Cities), ICAROS Lab and IHP Lab (USC ICT) at USC.
As a researcher, I have worked on arbitrary-shape text detection and recognition on historical maps, extracting human preference in industrial assembly tasks and interpretable multi-modality deep learning detection for human mental health etc. My research interests include Multi-modality Deep Learning applied in Computer Vision and Natural Language Processing, Knowledge Graph and Explainable Deep Learning.
If you would like to cooperate with me, feel free to send me an email!
