Employment
Experience
- Generalized Demand Forecasting Model (Development)
Together with a team of data scientists, implemented and used a data forecasting suite including over 20 different models
- Supermarket Demand Driver Model (Development)
Lead developer of a machine learning model using census demographic data to predict the success of supermarket promotions, expansions, and luxury items in a given area.
- Machines and Trust: How to Mitigate AI Bias (Publication)Unwanted AI bias is already a widespread problem. Machine learning models can replicate or exacerbate existing biases, often in ways that are not detected until release. So what can be done about it?
