About

Speaking Engagements: 1. Conducted a 6-days workshop on "Machine learning and Deep learning for NLP" at NIT Warangal during Dec 22 - Dec 27, 2017. Background: 1. Strong Programming Skills: C++, Java, Python, Numpy, Tensorflow. Experience working into Supervised learning and Unsupervised learning (intermediate). Currently exploring reinforcement learning. 2. I have experience working in core-NLP projects like Text classification, Dependency Parsing, Named Entity Recognition, Dialogue systems and chat-bots where we apply appropriate machine learning and deep learning based architectures to build the system. 3. I like working on NLP/ML/DL based projects which involves end-to-end role right from getting data to training/testing model to deploying it into production. 4. I like to read relevant research papers in NLP domain such as Dialogue systems and chat-bots, Question-answering, representation learning etc. I try to attend university offered courses in domain of NLP/ML/DL. 5. I have worked upon Voice Technology based communication System usually deployed in devices like Smart Phones etc. I successfully analysed performance of various Phonetic algorithms and proposed a comparative study over Foreign Language Support. Built Spanish Name-matching algorithm for deployable in Mobile devices. 6. I have been a part of Samsung C-Lab project handled by team of 4 members. Completed project successfully within given time frame. Presented the solution at HQ (South Korea)

Honors and awards:

Award : 6th Position in Samsung Hack2Innovate Challenge - SMS classification
Issuer : Samsung Research India - Bangalore
Date : 11 2017
Summary : We developed few Machine Learning and Deep Learning based approaches to classify SMS messages into 3 categories (Ham, Spam, Info). Since the data was very sparse in terms of vocabulary, we performed standard pre-processing and built various models (SVM, NB, CRF, word-CNN, char-CNN + word-CNN, Bi-LSTM) and tried ensemble approach as well. Best performance was achieved on char-CNN + word-CNN based architecture which can learn embeddings for out-of-vocab words as well. In order to prevent overfitting, we employed strategies like dropout, L2 weight decay along with explicit Gaussian noise in input layer.We secured 6th position among 20 teams with an weighted F1 score of 95.48 while top team achieved 95.90 F1 score.
