Jan 2019May 2020 · 1 yr 4 mos

  • As a Data Science Manager, I led initiatives to scale and enhance Knowledge Graph integration with a focus on schema mapping, data normalization, and quality assurance. My team implemented semi-automatic schema mapping from web graphs to internal taxonomies and automated normalization for small text, aligning data seamlessly with our knowledge taxonomy. We also developed probabilistic data quality models, ensuring only high-quality data entered the Knowledge Graph. These efforts resulted in a 6X reduction in data onboarding latency, a 4.2X boost in developer efficiency, a 1.3X expansion of the Knowledge Graph, and significant cost savings, driving meaningful improvements in data quality, scale, and operational efficiency.
