About me

Hi, there! My name is Yaelin Jo, a data scientist studying at Yonsei University.

My philosophy

During my undergraduate years, I studied Business(or Business Administration) for my bachelor’s degree. The most important thing I learned from that time was that the business is a sum of choices. Choices can be made based on someone’s intuition, accumulated experiences or just customary practice. However, I believe the data must be the start of decision-making.

For a good decision, first, we need to define what the problem/situation is. And then we need to find what factor caused the problem/situation and try to find solutions. However, as time goes, this society is evolving so fast that it is hard to get a grasp of these questions. I believe the data is the key to solve this problem. It truly lead us to get a clearer and deeper understanding of the new challenging situation we face.

My interests

My interest is in Recommender System and Natural Language Processing.

Since more and more products and services come out on market, and much easier to reach them via online, We(especially me) are getting tired of making tons of choices in our dailylives. For that, Recommender System can be a strong tool for us and even for the company.

And Natural Language Processing is important, because the data isn’t just numbers. It can be the news, our reviews about products or our online comments. Dealing these texts(unstructured data) with NLP techniques is needed and must be based.
