Labeling Experience

AI Model Training & Evaluation Specialist

TextRLHF
In this position, I performed large-scale AI training, model evaluation, and content moderation for Generative AI and Large Language Models. My responsibilities included evaluating and labeling AI-generated outputs for policy compliance, safety, bias, and ethical risk. I applied RLHF and Supervised Fine-Tuning (SFT) to improve model accuracy and alignment. • Identified and flagged harmful, biased, or non-compliant outputs according to governance guidelines. • Provided structured feedback and detailed annotations to support AI ethics and fairness initiatives. • Ensured compliance and human alignment in model behavior through careful annotation. • Supported the ongoing development of safer, more robust LLMs.

AI Model Training & Evaluation Specialist (Generative AI, NLP, RLHF)

TextRLHF
As an independent contractor, I trained and evaluated Generative AI systems and LLMs utilizing RLHF and Supervised Fine-Tuning workflows. My work focused on prompt–response dataset development, assessment, and improving instruction adherence. I performed output evaluation for accuracy, coherence, safety, and ethical compliance. • Conducted prompt–response writing and review to advance model reasoning capabilities. • Flagged and documented skewed or misleading model behaviors to aid bias mitigation. • Supported NLP-related data labeling such as text classification and summarization. • Maintained high standards for model evaluation rigor and annotation consistency.
