Experience
Data Scientist
Responsibilities include:
- Developed a novel entity‑aware multi‑task learning model for query understanding to reduce 75% GPU resource usage, enhance key metrics as well as development and maintenance efficiency
- Collaborated with colleagues to do online A/B test and obtained statistical significance lifts over current production: GMV (0.51%), Order (0.65%), UNITS(1.08%), ATC (0.65%), and P99 latency (18.6%)
- Authored a paper Entity-aware Multi-task Learning for Query Understanding at Walmart accepted by KDD'23
Machine Learning Engineering
Responsibilities include:
- Solved no evaluation data issue by tagging about 300 call notes with named entity recognition (NER) labels through brat rapid annotation tool
- Built an intent classification model for call notes taken by pharmaceutical sales representatives to predict doctors’ intents and a NER model for extracting valuable information from call notes
- Developed a suggestion recommendation demo app using Flask for pharmaceutical sales representatives and deployed it on AWS EC2
