Applied AI ML Associate Senior

Job responsibilities

• Supports and develops an understanding of key business problems and processes.
• Advises a model development process, execute tasks including data wrangling/analysis, model training, testing, and selection. Strategically, implement optimization strategies to fine-tune generative models for specific NLP use cases, ensuring high-quality outputs in summarization and text generation.
• Updates logically and conducts evaluations of generative models (e.g., GPT-4), iterate on model architectures, and implement improvements to enhance overall performance in NLP applications. Implements monitoring mechanisms to track model performance and ensure model reliability.
• Frequently communicates AI/ML/LLM/GenAI capabilities and results to both technical and non-technical audiences. From data analysis and modeling exercises, generate structured and meaningful insights and present them in an appropriate format according to the audience. Collaboratively, work with other data scientists and machine learning engineers to deploy machine learning solutions. As required by the business stakeholder, model risk function, and other groups, carry out ad-hoc and periodic analysis.
• Adds to team culture of diversity, opportunity, inclusion, and respect
