Researcher – Microsoft-Yale NLP Research

TextText Summarization
As a researcher in the Microsoft-Yale NLP Research partnership, I contributed to work on text summarization using natural language processing techniques. My tasks focused on preparing and annotating text datasets for summarization model training and evaluation. I also assisted in labeling reference summaries to support publication-quality research outcomes. • Cleaned and curated text corpora suitable for NLP tasks in summarization. • Annotated textual data with summarization targets and labels. • Contributed to the design of reference summaries for model evaluation. • Participated in dataset versioning for iterative model fine-tuning.

ImageClassification
I created and trained convolutional neural networks to classify plant images for the Yale Peabody museum as part of the Herbarium Project. My responsibilities included manipulating image data and developing machine learning models to improve classification accuracy. I also led the process of training, testing, and evaluating these deep learning models in an academic research setting. • Used deep learning with convolutional neural networks on image datasets. • Labeled and preprocessed plant image data for supervised model training. • Categorized and annotated images for species identification and research. • Implemented model evaluation to validate labeling and classification quality.
