Hi everyone! I’m Tuan, currently a data scientist at Salesforce. I’ve worked on relevance ranking for search engine, and more recently autoML system for structured data. I’m originally from Hanoi, Vietnam, and I moved here for my undergrad at Swarthmore College.
I’m excited about this class because I want to understand how different platforms built by tech companies become such powerful tools for misuse, and the reasons behind big tech’s reluctance/inability to address these issues at their core. I am also interested in technical solutions to detect disinformation, mitigate bias, increase privacy, etc at scale. As someone who’s working in the field and producing machine learning models that can affect many people, I’d love to spend more time studying and thinking more critically about the impact of my work.
In my free time I enjoy exploring the city on foot, with occasional road trips to places with nice water fronts. I love cooking, music (and concerts), and all things comedy.
