Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSoumya Barikeri is a Senior Data Scientist specializing in NLP with seven years in IT and over three years focused on production-grade language and speech solutions. Based in Bengaluru, she has built end-to-end systems—from a tourism question-answering chatbot over RDF and vector search to domain-tuned GPT-2 autocompletion and low-resource medical ASR—leveraging multi-GPU cloud training and careful evaluation frameworks. Her work blends research and engineering: she fine-tuned multilingual transformers and GNNs for knowledge graph enrichment, improved next-word accuracy by 10% and raised F1 scores through unsupervised domain adaptation. Comfortable spanning retrieval, generation, speech and hybrid classifier designs, she also tackles practical issues like sequence-length limits and feature fusion for real-world web data. Soumya’s background in electronics and a Data Science master’s informs a pragmatic approach to model robustness and deployment. An inquisitive engineer, she repeatedly demonstrates measurable gains by combining rigorous experimentation with production constraints.
