KEY EXPECTED ACHIEVEMENTS
NLP Expertise
The data scientist is an expert in applied NLP capabilities viz. text classification, NER, building multi-lingual products, sentiment analysis, topic classification, information retrieval, conversational AI.
A hands-on experience in working with LLMs viz. ChatGPT, Vicuna, Dolly etc., in prompt engineering and managing LLM inputs and output can be a big plus.
Brings outside-in perspective for innovative technology adoption, re-engineering existing capabilities, implementing best-practices for NLP product development.
Has an ability to evaluate all options for a given situation and recommend the best one based on facts. Acts as a go-to person for few applied NLP area for the team.
Business understanding & Solution implementation
The business need is understood and formalized in a descriptive datasheet or specifications
The methods are identified through external research and selected by their theoretical bases, advantages and drawbacks.
The results of the analysis or the models are presented to the customers with data visualization tools indicating the performances and the limits. The source code is delivered and explained if necessary.
Quality/Capitalization
All stages of Machine learning project are implemented (pipeline, components, tests), respecting quality standards
All valuable code is re-usable by community. Data Analysis models are monitored (technological watch) and partnerships are developed
