Senior Standards Engineer @ Samsung Telecommunications America Research and development - natural language processing, artificial intelligence, and machine learning for smart TVs and smart phones. From January 2013 to November 2013 (11 months) Dallas/Fort Worth AreaSoftware Engineering Intern @ Google Worked in the ads quality team. I worked on analyzing machine learning models that predict the click through rate (CTR) for a given advertisement. I developed a tool to perform statistical analysis of different features and performance metrics and learn how different features impact different metrics. From May 2011 to August 2011 (4 months) Mountain View, CAGraduate Research Intern @ Los Alamos National Laboratory Worked in the Computer, Computational, and Statistical Sciences Division on the problem of gene start site prediction. I developed a tool that can be used by biologists to improve the prediction accuracy of start sites for genes based on consistency. From June 2009 to August 2009 (3 months) Los Alamos, NMSenior Software Engineer @ Delima Solutions Pvt. Ltd Developed and integrated supplier relationship management (SRM) solutions into a design and automation software used for designing automobiles. From April 2006 to July 2007 (1 year 4 months) Bangalore, IndiaSoftware Engineer @ i2 Technologies Developed solutions for I2's supplier relational management (SRM) suite of products. From July 2004 to April 2006 (1 year 10 months) Bangalore, IndiaApplication Developer @ Intel Technology India Pvt. Ltd. Developed solutions for Intel's factory automation product. From August 2003 to July 2004 (1 year) Bangalore, IndiaSenior Research Engineer @ Samsung Research America, Dallas Research and development - natural language processing, artificial intelligence, and machine learning for smart TVs and smart phones. I have worked on problems like text summarization, word sense disambiguation, error correction for speech recognition systems, and learning predictive models from system logs.Mentored an intern on the project for learning predictive models from system logs.Researched and developed approaches for multi-document summarization of online content, prototype developed as an Android app. From November 2013 to May 2014 (7 months) Richardson, TXPhD Student @ The University of Texas at Austin Worked in the areas of statistical relational learning (SRL), NLP, machine learning, and data mining. Plan recognitionIn statistical relational learning, I have developed techniques that extend a formalism called Bayesian Logic Programs (BLPs) for reasoning and learning in partially observed domains like plan/activity recognition.Information extraction and deep question answeringI have also applied extensions of BLPs to the task of information extraction and question answering. This work explores BLP-based approaches for learning common-sense knowledge in the form of first-order rules from natural language text and inferring implicitly stated information in text based on the learned common-sense knowledge.Authorship predictionThis work employs probabilistic context-free grammars (PCFGs) to predict the author of a given document. I have applied statistical parsing to learn syntactic language models for each author, and then use these language models for classification. Recommender systemsI have explored approaches to mitigate the negative impact of spurious ratings and reviews on the quality of recommendations. In this context, I have worked on large scale data sets from Amazon.com, curated specifically for recommender systems.Computational BiologyResearch and development of approaches for multiple sequence alignment and phylogenetic reconstruction. From August 2007 to December 2012 (5 years 5 months) Austin, TXEngineering Leadership - ML @ Pinterest Leading machine learning efforts for ads relevance Engineering Leadership - Machine Learning @ Curai Led the machine learning/ AI efforts at Curai. My team, a mix of researchers and engineers delivered end-to-end (research, modeling, engineering, and product integration) ML solutions to the product in the following areas:Natural language understanding and conversation automationML for predictive modeling and medical diagnosisDevelopment of ML engineering infrastructure for scale From May 2019 to June 2020 (1 year 2 months) Senior Research Engineer @ Netflix Research and engineering of machine learning algorithms for personalization, ranking, and recommender systems. From June 2014 to April 2019 (4 years 11 months) Los Gatos
