Yishi Wang

I am a professor in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at the University of North Carolina Wilmington. My area of interests include: Statistical machine learning and data mining, semi-parametric models, survival analysis, and their applications. We were awarded to run a NSF supported Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU). Our NSF supported REU Site at UNCW aims to provide undergraduate participants interdisciplinary research experience in statistical learning and data mining with applications in computer vision and pattern recognition. The program is designed to involve students in complete undergraduate research experiences to develop deep data analytics skills, including statistical theory, data management, statistical learning and data mining techniques, computation, statistical practice, and systematically develop professional expertise, such as scientific communication skills, for graduate school or future career in statistics and data science.

MORPH-II : Inconsistencies and cleaning whitepaper 2017 2422 This paper presents a detailed summary of the inconsistencies in the non-commercial releaseof the MORPH-II dataset and covers the steps and strategy taken to clean it. In addition,examples of prior research that made use of the uncleaned data are bri...
MORPH-II: Feature vector documentation 2017 750 Four different subsets of the MORPH-II database were selected for a wide range of purposes, including age estimate, gender and race classification, and facial recognition. Due to the variety of poses and lighting conditions present in the MORPH-II d...
MORPH-II: A proposed subsetting scheme 2017 869 In this paper, we propose a new subsetting scheme for the longitudinal face aging databaseMORPH-II. Our subsetting scheme is intended to overcome the unbalanced racial and genderdistributions of MORPH-II, while ensuring independence between training ...
