About ME!

Hi there! This is Ziqi ZHAO, and you can also call me Stephen. Currently, I am a year-4 student at the School of Data Science, the Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shenzhen (CUHKSZ), majoring in Data Science and Big Data Technology.

My research interests lie in time series data forecasting, financial data analysis, and AI applications in cloud-native governance fields. Outside of research, I am an enthusiastic fan of the San Antonio Spurs and Manchester City. I also have a deep passion for music, especially Rap and K-pop, with Jony J and IU being my all-time favorite artists.

Works & Projects

PRD & Business Plan : COLORMOOD — Capturing the Hues of Existence

In an era of information overload, ColorMood serves as a visual diary that bridges the gap between abstract feelings and aesthetic clarity. With its unique "One Photo, One Palette" philosophy, it transforms everyday randomness into a curated museum of personal moods, helping users find their own "base color" and connect with those who resonate on the same frequency.

Business Plan : PurrCircle — Community-Based Pet Mutual Assistance

TOGETHER WITH Yasi YANG*, Yixuan ZHOU, Wanru YAN in course IDE2000
PurrCircle is a hyper-local pet care platform that solves the "travel anxiety" of 80 million urban pet owners in China. By activating community trust through a dual-track model, it connects owners with verified neighborhood helpers for affordable, in-home care.

Project: Dynamic Gesture Recognition：A Novel Approach for CAPTCHA

TOGETHER WITH Zhiyuan YANG, Shengxi Xiong
A next-generation authentication system that replaces traditional methods with real-time hand gesture recognition. Powered by a custom CNN with Residual and SE blocks, the system achieved 99.7% accuracy across 13,000+ self-made samples, successfully bridging high-performance Computer Vision with frictionless user cybersecurity.

Publication: An Optimized Port Operation Efficiency Prediction Model Based on LSTM and ESN

Xinxin Liu, Ruixiang Mei, Ziqi Zhao , Shaohan Wang, Junli Duan*
This paper introduces a high-precision dual-model framework to predict smart port operation efficiency, addressing the challenges of nonlinear dynamics and noisy multi-scale data. By integrating CEEMDAN for signal decomposition with a lightweight Echo State Network (ESN) and a Bidirectional Attention-Enhanced LSTM (Bi-ALSTM), the system achieves a significant leap in temporal modeling. Experimental results demonstrate a 30.5% reduction in MSE compared to traditional RNNs, while maintaining a real-time training speed of just 0.35 seconds, providing a robust quantitative tool for dynamic scheduling and risk early warning in global supply chains.
