• ♟ National Provider Information from Clinical Charts
• ✷ Proposed to develop a ML engine, replacing the existing rule-based system.
• ✷ Responsible for end-to-end development and productionization of the component: Ideation, Data Collection & Annotations, Training & Validation, Deployment, and Monitoring.
• ✷ Revamped the codebase with the latest style guidelines, docstrings, pre-commit hooks, and type annotations using Python OOPs best practices.
• ✷ Added robust unit and integration test-suite for the model and API.
• ✷ Created and wrapped the model pipeline for batch inference using FastAPI and a GPU-based Docker image to containerize it at scale on AWS server.
• ✷ Deployment of the model resulted in ~90%+ consistent accuracy. It is running successfully in production, processing millions of medical records.
• ✷ Tools Used: Python, SpaCy, Pytest, Docker, FastAPI, AWS Sagemaker, Weights & Biases, Grafana

• ♟ Negation detection pipeline for Clinical text
• ✷ Experimented with ABSA using different BERT Embeddings(BioBERT) and Medical Embeddings(PubMed) for context-based ICD DX code negation.
• ✷ Created a Dependency parser and MST-based Negation engine.
• ✷ Deploying the module resulted in a ~2% drop in the false positive count across clinical entities in the pipeline.
• ✷ Tools Used: Python, SpaCy, Tree-based Algorithms, ABSA.
• ♟ Encounter Classification
• ✷ Worked on performing multiple POCs using Traditional ML and Transformer based algorithms to classify Medical Encounter boundaries which help in eliminating 2-3% of False-positive across the pipeline.
• ✷ Experimented with Multiple models like GBDTs, PubMed, and BioBERT Transformer.
• ✷ Experimented with different feature engineering methods and text chunking methods to improve the baseline accuracy.
• ✷ Tools Used: Python, Pytorch, Scikit-learn, Pandas, Matplotlib.
