Target Audience: Familiarity with ML / Natural Language and Embeddings
Description: This talk will talk about my most recent project where I developed a novel solution to tackle a fairly complicated problem. We will go over things like Tree Algorithms, Neural Networks and the use of Embeddings in Classification.
I am Sharyar and I work as an ML Engineer at Workday. My background starts with an undergrad degree in microbiology where my research supervisor thought I had an unhealthy interest in the computer vs the test tubes. My path to my current role is anything but typical. I have worked as an administrator, a photographer, and a biologist. All of these roles have allowed me to develop perspective and skills that assist me in my job today. I have worked on a variety of projects ranging from interpreters to ML for drug discovery.
