NLP/ML Intern | XRI Global, Remote

• Developed a semi-automated extraction system that identified candidate languages for neural machine translation unsupported by major engines
• Created a quality management process to ensure metadata for parallel corpora is unique, consistent, and complete
• Conducted a literature review on effective strategies to improve performance for machine translation in low-resource settings (e.g., back-translation, multilingual transfer, filtering)
• Implemented a neural translation system with competitive performance under limited resources by first establishing a baseline model to guide improvements

Research Assistant

• Supported the development of novel datasets for various phenomena (i.e., consequences of subjective views and understanding of rhetorical questions) for LLMs
• Designed supplementary guidelines for annotation cycle resulting in substantial agreement between annotators and solved disagreements with the adjudicator
• Assessed the quality of novel datasets by utilizing statistical methods (e.g., Cohen’s kappa) to evaluate inter-rater reliability between annotators

Community Health Analyst | WellMed Medical Management

• Identified high-risk patients for health opportunities by compiling data and characterizing patients without a primary care provider for downstream outreach
• Standardized community health pipeline to target patients post-hospitalization and support patients by providing access to social and medical resources.
• Improved data quality for patient variables (e.g., existing primary physician) by submitting approvals on behalf of patients with undetermined information

Research Assistant

• Supervised various picture description tasks for grammatical analysis in English-Spanish to measure the choice of noun phrases (R-expressions)
• Configured Ibex software to host new psycholinguistic experiments for students and record their response time
