Chu Xin (Cloris) Cheng

Thanks for stopping by! I am Chu Xin (Cloris) Cheng, a senior at California Institute of Technology majoring in CS. I am fortunate to have worked with Prof. Yisong Yue and Prof. Adam Wierman from Caltech, Prof. Ellen Zhong from Princeton, and Prof. Yanan Sui from Tsinghua University. I will be working as a Machine Learning Intern at Gridmatic during the spring.

My past research centers around AI for accelerating scientific discovery, specifically focusing on two subfields: AI for experimental design and machine learning in chemistry. I’d like to

• Develop rigorous algorithms, as mathematical foundations allow methods to withstand the test of time.
• Work on intellectually stimulating problems that can tackle new challenges and help define new frameworks.
• Contribute to ways that allow smooth integration of machine learning to real application domains.

Recently, I’m exploring applications of generative modeling in discrete data generation and time series forecasting.

At Caltech, I’ve learned so much from the brilliant people around me, and I am forever grateful to have had the opportunity to learn and collaborate with Raul M. Astudillo, Chris Yeh, Yiheng Lin and many more amazing people on various projects.
