Summary
Rijula Kar is an applied researcher with 9 years of industry experience building and shipping scalable ML/DL systems for structured and unstructured data, currently driving applied research at eBay. She has a strong NLP and information-extraction background from an MS by research at IIT Kharagpur, with her thesis published at AAAI'18, and a track record of improving production parsers and entity models across Naukri, Flipkart, and Amazon. Rijula specializes in transformer-based product matching, entity linking, and temporal information extraction, having delivered measurable gains (e.g., double-digit F1 improvements) in CV parsing and competitive product discovery. She blends rigorous academic training with hands-on deployment experience in e-commerce and recruitment domains, and often focuses on bridging research prototypes to high-throughput production systems. An underappreciated strength is her consistent impact across the ML lifecycle—from feature engineering and model design to embedding generation and productionization.
