PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

Confidential, Cincinnati, OH

Senior data Scientist

Responsibilities:

• Responsible for developing healthcare analytics platform predictive capabilities such as identifying the individuals at risk of disease progression or onset by using Knowledge Graphs, Machine Learning, Natural Language Processing techniques.
• Implemented distributed data processing pipeline to clean collected large volumes of structured and unstructured clinical data using Hadoop stack.
• Developed predictive models using algorithms (H2O.ai, CARET libraries) such as Logistic Regression, Random Forests, Neural Network and Ensembles to identify individuals at risk of Diabetes, CHF, COPD etc. to enable proactive intervention of care; thus, preventing potential future costs.
• With expertise in Natural Language Processing, and knowledge graphs, created a framework to process unstructured clinical notes, and transformed them to structured features for analysis and predictive modeling.
• With thorough research, developed predictive models to track disease prognosis over time to stratify population based on risk of progressing to severe stages of a disease.
• Collaborated with external subject matter experts and technical advisors to research and improve the predictive models performance

Confidential, Dayton, OH

Researcher

Responsibilities:

• Involved in research and development of predictive models that embed semantics of data and address challenges in classification of short and long unstructured data.
• Implemented a knowledge discovery algorithm for materials domain to aid in advancing the research of new metals by extracting triples from materials domain literature.
• Developed a personalization algorithm for social media that utilizes openly available knowledge bases to augment machine learning algorithms with additional features to estimate user’s interest in entities and content.
• Implemented a recommendation algorithm for various domains utilizing hierarchical knowledge (taxonomies) to create user profiles and recommend content or entities of user’s interest. By augmenting machine learning algorithms with knowledge based features, we achieved competitive results.
• Thesis: Research work focused on features of hierarchical knowledge bases that would influence the personalization and recommendation systems performance.
• Implemented classification algorithms for healthcare data to automatically fill gaps in electronic medical records documentation accuracy. The resulting algorithm utilizes relationships between entities of healthcare domain and augments features extracted from unstructured text to classify documents accurately.

Confidential

Research Intern

Responsibilities:

• Responsible for research and development of solutions to automatically identify clinical documents that are inaccurate or incomplete in documenting the diagnosis.
• Implemented a document classification algorithm to identify documents with implicit connections to diseases that otherwise go unnoticed in the healthcare workflow.
• Involved in processing unstructured clinical notes, extracting features of different classes such as diseases, laboratory measures, medications etc. with attributes such as negations, temporality, and degree of certainty.
• Developed classification models using decision tree, random forest, support vector machines etc. and evaluated/compared their performance in the scenario of incremental features as Confidential ’s Confidential days increase. This enabled identifying appropriate model which performs well right from the admission of a Confidential to the hospital.
• Utilized hierarchical relationships from healthcare knowledge bases to identify relevant features to classify documents specific to diseases.
• Applied feature ranking techniques based on information gain to reduce feature sets.
