News Maker's Network (Natural Language Processing)
November 1, 2023 – November 1, 2023
Skills : Vector Databases, Transformers, Named Entity Recognition with BERT Transformer, Spacy Transformer, Sentiment Analysis, Network Models, Flask, HTML, NLTK As we fast approach the US elections, it is hard to analyze the public sentiment around an entity. As humans, we can get quickly opinionated on a 'window-of-observation' which we see on the news. Aim : We aimed to create a tool that users can use to quickly visualize the co-mentions for any named entity (for instance, Donald Trump) in the news and see their relative sentiment, as well as overall sentiment values, with 10 things they are most associated with. Dataset : We used the CNN News Articles containing over 9,000 articles from CNN's website. This dataset is downloadable from Kaggle here: https://www.kaggle.com/datasets/hadasu92/cnn-articles Overview of the Steps : - Data Preprocessing : News articles had to be cleaned using various NLP techniques like stemming, tokenization, lemmatization, etc. - NER : We then explored multiple models from BERT Transformers, Spacy's models (small,large,transformers), processing the data as required by each. - After creating comparitive models, we used the Spacy's Transformer model in our pipeline for NER. Advantages of using Spacy : We can use transformer embeddings like BERT directly in spaCy which enabled us to quickly compare and train the model for our needs. We used non context based approach (word vectors) as well as context based(Transformers). Functionalities: - Our app creates treats the given entity(person) as a central node and creates a network graph of top 30 people that our given entity has appeared the most in the articles with. - The thickness of the edges represent the number of co-mentions. - The color of the nodes represent the average sentiment of the articles they appeared in together.

Client Project : Job and Skill Mapping Dashboard
April 1, 2023 – April 1, 2023
Skills : PostgreSQL, Relational Databases, Query Optimization, Tableau, Data Visualization The value of observing labor market trends as patterns on geographic maps has long been recognized and the ability to seamlessly zoom from state to regional and local employment patterns is taken for granted in current offerings. The aim of the project was to create an interactive map that shows job risks and possible career paths on a global scale to help communicate labor market trends in the context of specific skills and professions, and guide individuals to explore new skills, training opportunities, and jobs. Process: - Stakeholder Analysis based on insight needs - Trend analysis to visualize temporal changes - Geospatial mapping to visualize Income Parity. Databases: - ONET database : Sponsored by the U.S. Department of Labor, Employment and Training Administration - ONET Crosswalks - BLS OEWS Data : Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics by the occupational employment and Wage statistics Achievements : - Created an effective and efficient data pipeline. - Optimized SQL queries to decrease the run time from 12 to 2 Mins (-83%) using techniques like RA SQL - Created an interactive dashboard in Tableau to visualize the changes in the Job / Skill market in the US.
Object Detection | Machine Learning
October 1, 2022 – October 1, 2022
Skills : Python, Sklearn, Matplotlib, Tensorflow, Keras, NumPy, pickle The aim of the project was to recognize the object in the images, i.e., to create a multiclass classifier that decides the correct category of an unlabeled image. Dataset Description : - The training set consisted of 100 categories with labels from 0 to 99, each category containing 5000 images with a total of 500K. - The test set consisted of 100K images, which were not a part of the training set. Basic Preprocessing Steps: - Grayscale conversion - Reducing the pixel matrix size for efficient processing - Normalizing the matrix Initial KNN implementation for classification gave a base line accuracy of 44.54% After experimenting with a few other models, with varying accuracies, I decided on using a CNN model as it gave the best base line accuracy of ~60%. Advanced Pre-processing : - Data Augmentation : (rotation, zoomed, lateral shift) Final model description : - 3 Convolutional Layers with 64, 128 and 256 filters respectively. - Each followed by a Max Pooling layer and Batch Normalization layer. - Experimented with Dropouts but chose not to include it as it did not make much difference. - Neuron activation used : ReLU - Loss function : Categorical Cross Entropy (Softmax + Cross Entropy) - Callback on early stop and plateau Training epochs : 50 Batch Size : 128 Final Model Accuracy : 72.84% (2nd Overall/100)

Cultural Fit Analysis
The candidate's project diversity, ranging from data visualization and SQL optimization to advanced object detection and NLP with LLMs, indicates a broad interest and adaptability. The roles at Realbotix and IU Health align well with an ML Engineer target role, particularly with a focus on Generative AI. The academic and teaching experience also suggests a collaborative and knowledge-sharing mindset. However, the rapid progression in roles at Realbotix (Generative AI Engineer to Head of AI in less than a year) might warrant further inquiry into the scope and responsibilities of these roles to fully assess cultural fit and long-term stability.
Soft Skills & Operational Fit
The candidate's experience as an Associate Instructor and Graduate Teaching Assistant suggests strong communication and mentoring skills. Project descriptions indicate problem-solving abilities and collaboration with cross-functional teams. The progression from Generative AI Engineer to AI-Architect and Head of AI at Realbotix, albeit in a short timeframe, suggests leadership potential and rapid learning. However, without psychometric test results, a comprehensive assessment of work attitude, stress handling, and team collaboration is not possible.
