Experience

Key Information Extraction from Scanned Images

https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/9749071

The project included the development of an in-house OCR engine and a computer-vision-based model for necessary data extraction. For both parts, I took part in data annotation management, research, development, and making the models production-ready.

As a result, we wrote the paper: "Tokengrid: Towards More Efficient Data Extraction from Unstructured Documents," which was accepted at the IEEE.

Research of Pruning and Quantization Effect on CNN-Based Models

A research project to learn the state of efficient inference of CNN-based models.
This project focuses on the following:

• The latency vs. accuracy tradeoff when pruning a CNN model.
• The latency vs. accuracy tradeoff when quantizing a CNN model.
• The effect of hardware potential speed-up.
• Comparison of various frameworks: PyTorch, ONNX, OpenVino, NeuralMagic

Search Engine for Classification of Product Descriptions Into Harmonized System

An AI-based search engine that can classify a product description into more than 3000 possible classes. Currently, it is being used by customs offices of several countries. It supports English, French, and Arabic.

Research of Neural Architecture Search (NAS) Algorithms

Extensive research of the current state of Neural Architecture Search. Main approaches used: Reinforcement Learning-based, Evolution, and Gradient-based. I implemented a Gradient-based search using the Differentiable Architecture Sample method.
