My name is Shengpu Tang (唐笙普), and I am a PhD candidate in the computer science department at the University of Michigan. I'm a member of the Machine Learning for Data-Driven Decisions (MLD3) research group led by Jenna Wiens.

My current research focuses on developing computational methods that help solve important problems in healthcare, such as risk stratification and dynamic treatment recommendations. More generally, I'm interested in broader applications of AI, machine learning and graph mining, computer game design, self-driving cars, security and hacking, as well as teaching.

PS: I have many genius friends and this LINK will redirect you to one of them.

Democratizing EHR Analyses with FIDDLE - A Flexible Data-Driven Preprocessing Pipeline for Structured Clinical Data

We developed FIDDLE (Flexible Data-Driven Pipeline), an open-source framework that streamlines the preprocessing of data extracted from the EHR.

Clinician-in-the-loop Decision Making: Reinforcement Learning with Near-Optimal Set-Valued Policies

We proposed a model-free algorithm based on temporal difference learning and a near-greedy heuristic for action selection – with the goal of learning set-valued policies to capture near-equivalent actions that lead to similar cumulative rewards.
