https://abhayk1201.github.ioAs a Senior data scientist at Walmart, I specialize in developing cutting-edge machine learning recommendation systems that personalize product recommendations, improve customer engagement, and drive business growth. These projects involve data-driven insights, cross-functional teams collaboration, and building state-of-the-art large-scale machine learning (Recommendation Systems, NLP) models handing millions of Walmart customers and item catalogs.I graduated with M.S. in Computer Sciences from University of Wisconsin-Madison. My research interests lie primarily in Deep Learning and its application to Computer Vision, Natural Language Processing and Recommendation Systems. Over the years, I have gained strong academic background, relevant work experience, and research aptitude (13+ publications, 360+ citations, h-index: 8, i-10 index: 5).Previously, I worked at Samsung R&D Institite-India, Bangalore on Bixby - Artificial Intelligence based smart assistant, leveraging deep learning technologies. I was awarded the Samsung Citizen Award under technology excellence category for the outstanding contribution in 2017-18. For my excellent contribution to research, publications and patents, I was again awarded with the Samsung Citizen Award in the "Innovator" category in 2019. My 3yr+ work experience at Samsung on NLP engine for smart assistant (Bixby) has drawn to data-driven research to market (leveraging academic research and theoretical algorithms into a production system).Prior to that, I did my under-graduation from Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur (IIT Kanpur) with a major in Electrical Engineering. I was recipient of Academic Excellence Award for the outstanding academic performance in two consecutive years 2013-14 and 2014-15.
