Experience

AI4Mulberry

This project aimed to automate the classification of communications between citizens and government agencies to increase the operational efficiency and quality of the service provided by the government of Armenia. Citizens' written communications are hierarchically classified, first concerning the ministries, then the departments of a given ministry, and finally the branches within a given department.

The primary challenge in the project was working with low-resource languages and tiny datasets for supervised learning. The framework I designed to overcome this challenge entailed dataset augmentation using machine translation and generative autoregressive language models for paraphrase generation and zero-shot classification and finetuning of pre-trained transformers such as XLM-Roberta.

Travelinsights

Travelinsights.ai is the first-ever real-time data analytics tool in the tourism sector in Armenia. The tool combines travel storytelling and natural language processing to collect, analyze, and visualize sentiments and topics concerning tourism in Armenia based on Tripadvisor.com, Facebook.com, and Booking.com reviews.

I contributed to designing the tool to provide public policymakers in the tourism sector with real-time actionable intelligence and historical trend data to render decision-making more data-driven and evidence-based.

Edu2Work

I contributed to the development of Edu2Work, a platform that continuously collects online job announcements from various commercial websites. It then cleans and standardizes the incoming data concerning job titles and skill requirements through supervised machine learning and visualizes the data in an interactive online dashboard.

National Administrative Department of Colombia

The goal of this project was to develop tools to efficiently collect, assess the quality of, and analyze unconventional data from social media, with the goal of obtaining granular insights concerning feelings of discrimination among the population in Colombia.

My responsibilities in this project involved developing a hybrid NLP-driven methodology to monitor social media data quality and building an end-to-end ETL pipeline that gathers social media data using advanced automation bots and leveraging transformer-based architectures for text and image classification.

The project and the insights gathered from it contributed to the social media data strategy of the National Administrative Department of Colombia (DANE).
