  • Built and optimized the machine learning and deep learning models used in production to
  • improve mean squared error by over 10 percent
  • Created a framework that enables efficient hyperparameter search and tuning to generate a set of hyperparameters that helped achieve better performance
  • Created a framework that can automatically search the best possible combination of
  • models and their respective weights that maximize performance
  • Helped solve the problem of over-prediction of sales on certain product lines by
  • incorporating quantile regression into the solution that helped provide an estimate of
  • the upper limit of sales
  • Worked on implementing unsupervised learning algorithms to cluster sales trends of various
  • department-category combinations and use the cluster information as a feature to
  • encode the dept-cat information for the machine learning models
  • Worked on research and development into explainability of the machine learning models and gain insights from them so that the end-users can understand, trust and implement the
  • solutions in their businesses
  • Built an optimization solution that helps retailers choose from a wide range of possible prices to optimize for key metrics and also set different constraints
