Hi! I am Chaoran Cheng, a third-year CS Ph.D. student at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. I am advised by Prof. Jian Peng. My research interests mainly focus on deep geometric learning for 3D point sets. Specifically, I’d like to combine 3D geometry with graph topology to build a computer deep learning system on molecules, proteins, and related downstream tasks.
I am also working on a machine learning-based automatic charter for Cytoid, a community-driven rhythm game inspired by Rayark’s games Cytus and Cytus II. The community provides many fan-made charts that can be used to train a machine learning system. This project was purely out of personal interest. Cooperation is highly welcomed.
I obtained my Bachelor’s Degree in EECS, Peking University, before which I also spent my freshman year studying chemistry.
