About Me

I'm a master student in the School of Computer Science in Fudan University. I am advised by Prof. Yang Chen, and work with Mobile Systems and Networking (MSN) Group. I visited Aalto University as a research intern in the Mobile Cloud Computing Group, supervised by Prof. Yu Xiao in 2018 and visited the University of Chicago as a research intern in Sand Lab, supervised by Prof. Ben Y. Zhao and Prof. Heather Zheng in 2019.

My research interests are primarily in systems and security, particularly in mobile systems and computing, security problems for system, deep learning and networking, and applications of deep learning to systems. See my CV here. (Email: qgxie17@fudan.edu.cn)

Research Experience

SAND Lab (Systems, Algorithms, Networking and Data) at University of Chicago

Supervised by Prof. Ben Y. Zhao and Prof. Heather Zheng , Jul. 2019 - Sept. 2019

An Ongoing Work of Adversarial Attack on Graph Data of Real Scenes

Proposed a black-box system design of adversarial attack on graph data of real scenes (node classification task).
Built an attack model based on Graph Convolutional Network model and implemented a similarity-based attack method. Implemented large-scale training (node sampling) on large-scale graph, e.g., Reddit dataset.

Mobile Cloud Computing Group (mc2) at Aalto University

Supervised by Prof. Yu Xiao , Sept. 2018 - Dec. 2018

Image Based Renovation Progress Estimation

Built a Visual Geometry Group(VGG) based deep learning model for predicting the renovation progress of kitchen images (multiple classification). Achieved a 0.435 test Top1-accuracy and a 0.85 test Top2 accuracy on kitchen dataset.
Built a VGG based deep learning model to evaluate the quality of renovation (binary classification). Achieved a test 0.91 accuracy on kitchen dataset.
Implemented an occlusion sensitivity method to detect the key areas in images that affect the prediction results.

#1 Incident-driven Real-time Traffic Speed Prediction

Collected multi-sources urban traffic data of San Francisco and New York City and performed data processing and analysis.
Proposed an urban critical incident discover method and designed a binary classifier to extract the latent impact features of traffic incidents for improving speed prediction. Achieved a 0.82 test F1-score of SFO and a 0.80 test F1-score of NYC.
Proposed a Deep Graph Convolutional Network to effectively incorporate incident, spatio-temporal, periodic and context features for traffic speed prediction. Achieved a 0.82 test F1-score of SFO and a 0.80 test F1-score of NYC. Achieved a 11.02% Mean Absolute Percentage Error(MAPE) of SFO and 17.21% MAPE of NYC.

#2 Trimming Mobile Applications for Bandwidth-Challenged Networks

Implemented a WeChat mini-program with identical functionality as an existing Android app to understand sources of app size discrepancy. Performed a empirical analysis of 200 mini-programs and their Android counterparts.
Crawled and decompiled 3200 Android apps. Performed detailed analysis and confirmed linked libraries as a dominant factor in apps's overall size.
Developed an app trimming framework to automatically trim existing Android apps. For 40% of the test apps, the framework can reduce the app size by at least 10MB.

#3 Mining and Modeling User Behavior in Online Social Networks

Applied network packet capture to hack the communication protocol of a widely used Location-Based Social Application (LBSA) Swarm and collected more than 33 million check-ins of 20 thousand users. Performed data processing and analysis.
Built a machine learning based model for predicting travelers's preferences for check-in venue types.

#4 LBSLab: A User Data Collection System in Mobile Environments

leaded the front-end development of the system. Designed and developed several representative location related functions, e.g., conducting check-ins.
Introduced the asynchronous programming pattern to the front end to reduce the latency and leveraged client-based cache to reduce the network traffic.
