Biography

I am a Data Scientist with over 10 years of experience using data science, machine learning, and NLP to build products used by millions of users.

I develop machine learning systems from conception to deployment in production environments. I have worked with datasets containing millions of data points in multiple domains, such as healthcare, conversational agents, and search engines.

I received my Ph.D. from The Pennsylvania State University in 2016 and have published over 50 peer-reviewed papers in NLP and information retrieval.

Paper on Zero Shot Intent Classication using LSTMs accepted for publication at INTERSPEECH 2019!
Our paper on Zero Shot Intern Classification using LSTMs has been accepted for publication at INTERSPEECH 2019. In this paper we propose an LSTM-based encoder that can be used to map user utterances to dialog intents. We show how the LSTM-based method outperforms a DSSM on this task, both for zero shot and few shot intent classification.
