About Ashleigh N. Faith

I specialize in multilingual search and behavioral analytics, focused on semantics, interoperability, and natural language, and realized through ontologies and knowledge graph. My domain focus is STEM subject matter -particularly in transportation, mechanical, medical, and electrical engineering technology, but I have worked on eCommerce, Business Intelligence, and Network Analysis data as well. I have managed small and large engineering and data teams, as well as end to end product GTM for a highly interactive 3D creative work search product that takes user behavior, language, and content metadata and transforms it into a tool for user data mining their content (multimillion dollar product line), as well as a backend knowledge graph to power neural network-based business and search intelligence machine learning (resulting in over $500K/year savings from insights gained and 11% increase in user interaction with the product). I am well versed in managing diverse data and engineering teams, as well as technical IP and data intelligence pipelines. I enjoy public speaking and presentations, teaching, writing articles, and researching possible solutions to complex problems. Feel free to reach out for a chat about problems you are looking to solve. Specialties: • Taxonomy/ontology creation and management (including multilingual)• Natural Language Processing (NLP), linguistics, recommendation and knowledge graph creation, and automated classification/tagging • Interoperability, linked data, semantic web• Metadata and ANSI/ISO/W3C- standards• Classification, indexing, and annotation• ETL/ELT pipelines and AWS• Internet of Things (IoT), primarily cyber security and connectivity• Content and knowledge management• Medical, art, automotive and aerospace engineering terminologies and technology• Library and information architecture• Archiving and records management• Intranet portal and web content strategy

    Ipswich, Ma, Us
    As a technical product manager, I direct the creation, implementation and continuous development of the EBSCO cloud based data pipeline, machine learning/artificial intelligence (MLAI), and knowledge graph product platforms using AWS standards and Netflix OSS reference. This requires digitally ingesting, organizing, and aggregating to the highest degree of fidelity possible, a diverse stream of over 4 billion assets, and extracting the knowledge contained within them, from millions of providers worldwide, with industry best practice and standards so that relevant data is semantically modeled, inferred, discovered, and readily accessed by the EBSCO Concept map product, as well as mining from user behavior analytics to enhance the Concept Map and semantic search offering on the front end, and giving the business data to curate content and acquisitions on the backend.Leading a team of engineers, data scientists, and machine learning experts, and working with the Sales and Marketing teams in the end to end GTM (including user testing and telemetry insights) of a multilingual visual knowledge graph and recommendation engine, I have a proven track record of delivering on time (agile) and within budget, as well as managing a product line with a user satisfaction rating in the upper 80th percentile on the Microsoft Usability test. Understanding of knowledge organization –specifically user behavior metrics, taxonomy, ontology and indexing best practices— and leveraging data analytics and machine learning (ML)/artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities, and Agile/Lean methodology is essential to optimize and continually improve the quality of data, knowledge capture, Extract, Transform, Load (ETL/ELT) tooling, content delivery networks (CDN), data visualization, “findability” and browse experiences for EBSCO’s users.
