Alexander Rakhlin is a Senior Researcher and machine learning specialist with 11+ years applying deep learning and classical ML to medicine, science and business problems. A Kaggle Master (ranked ~129 of 66,000) and winner of CERN’s “Physics Prize: HEP meets ML,” he has repeatedly placed highly in diverse competitions from medical imaging to geospatial and forecasting tasks. At Neuromation and as an independent consultant he has delivered production-grade models and research—examples include winning and improved MICCAI robotic instrument segmentation code and CNNs for sentence classification in Keras. His toolkit spans Python, scikit-learn, Keras/Theano/Caffe and OpenCV, and he pairs strong math/physics training (MS in CS, background in physics and mathematics) with practical engineering, including an automated derivatives trading system he architected and deployed. Colleagues value his ability to translate competitive research into robust, explainable solutions for real-world data.

Convolutional Neural Networks for Sentence Classification in Keras
Role in this project:
ML Engineer
Contributions:14 commits, 2 PRs, 23 pushes in 1 year 4 months
Contributions summary:Alexander focused on developing and refining a convolutional neural network (CNN) for sentence classification using Keras. They added prediction functionality to the model, allowing it to classify new sentences based on the trained model. The user also made significant changes, including switching to a larger IMDB corpus, redesigning the code, and upgrading to Keras 2.0. Furthermore, they addressed initialization issues and added functionality to load data from a local directory.
Wining solution and its improvement for MICCAI 2017 Robotic Instrument Segmentation Sub-Challenge
Role in this project:
ML Engineer
Contributions:26 commits, 3 pushes, 1 comment in 17 days
Contributions summary:Alexander primarily focused on modifying and extending image processing code for the purpose of robotic instrument segmentation. The commits introduce functionality to overlay segmentation masks onto the original images, using different modes such as "BINARY," "PARTS," and "TYPE". They implemented code for image resizing and utilized OpenCV (cv2) to manipulate images, demonstrating a focus on computer vision techniques relevant to the project's goals. The user also contributed to generating image grids for visualization, effectively demonstrating expertise in model output analysis within a medical image domain.
