Computer Vision / FaceXFormerOpen case studyTECHNICAL FOCUS
AI systems, ML infrastructure, and software.
My work covers information retrieval, model configuration and benchmarking, CLI tools, and web interfaces.
AI Systems
Agentic AI, retrieval, and knowledge graphs for systems that can act and answer from knowledge.
ML Systems & Inference
Hardware checks, model serving configuration, benchmarking, and inference telemetry.
Software Systems
CLI workflows, endpoint verification, automation, and interfaces that make systems usable.
RESEARCH EXPERIENCE
Infographic question answering and image analysis.
My academic projects include Vietnamese infographic question answering and facial landmark localization. They connect computer science with dataset preparation, model exploration, and evaluation.
Facial landmark localization
Research exploration covering related work, FaceXFormer, smaller-dataset experiments, and evaluation notebooks.
Building in public
Developing a clearer home for technical projects, learning notes, and the decisions behind each piece of work.
A RAG Approach for Multi-Modal Open-ended Lifelog Question-Answering
Peer-reviewed ICMR 2025 paper on OpenLifelogQA, a 14,187-question dataset, and a retrieval-augmented generation pipeline for multi-modal lifelog question answering. Co-author.
ABOUT THIEN NGUYEN
Nguyen Van Minh Thien
AI systems & software engineer.
I build AI systems and software, with attention to the whole trail of a project: framing the question, testing an approach, documenting the limits, and making the result easy to explore. I also enjoy sharing programming and mathematics through explanations, examples, and exercises.
