Niwei contributed to alibaba/TorchEasyRec by developing and optimizing the Hierarchical Spatio-Temporal Unit (HSTU) model for recommendation systems. He implemented user and item towers alongside a sequence encoder leveraging relative attention biases, enabling the model to capture temporal and positional context for more accurate personalization. Using Python and PyTorch, Niwei defined new model architectures and protocol buffer schemas to support scalable, time-aware recommendations. He also refactored the data processing pipeline to efficiently handle sequential data and integrated negative sampling, improving training convergence and evaluation readiness. His work demonstrated depth in deep learning, model architecture, and data engineering for production-scale systems.
