Realistic Human Face Generator for Mobile App Golden Boot 2019

我想要解决的问题是完全自动化为公司的几款游戏生成足球运动员个人资料图像的过程. The system is used in the mobile game Golden Boot 2019, available in both iOS and Android, and with over one million installs since its release.

I built a pipeline of three models, each applied sequentially. First, 一个尖端的GAN网络,经过我自己的数据集的重新训练,生成了逼真的足球运动员面孔. Second, a logistic classifier built from the last layer of a VGG network, to classify the output of the GAN into "good" faces and "bad" faces, ensuring that only images of sufficient quality are displayed to the user. Third, 在VGG网络的最后一层之上进行另一种逻辑回归,根据种族对人脸进行分类. 这最后一步是必要的,以便控制足球运动员的国籍和他的外表之间的相关性.

Customer Support Automatization with Natural Language Processing

A natural language processing system to automatically classify customer issues. The tool was developed during my time at Nordeus, a mobile gaming company with over two million daily active users. The end-goal was to reduce the number of tickets that human agents had to process, and increase customer satisfaction overall.
