Susan Eraly is a data scientist with 11 years of experience applying deep learning and NLP techniques to production-grade tooling and model import pipelines. She transitioned from ASIC and physical design engineering at NVIDIA and HP into machine learning engineering, contributing substantial fixes and examples to the Deeplearning4j ecosystem—most notably BERT inference and TensorFlow model import utilities used by JVM-based ML practitioners. As an independent contractor and former Skymind engineer, she blends low-level systems rigor with practical model deployment experience, improving usability of Keras/TensorFlow imports and NLP iterators. Based in New York with roots in the Bay Area, she brings a pragmatic, open-source-first approach to making complex models easier to run in enterprise Java environments.

Contributions summary:Susan contributed to model import examples, specifically focusing on TensorFlow models within the Deeplearning4j framework. Their work included fixing paths for TensorFlow model imports, creating a BERT inference example for sentence pair classification, and adding scripts related to downloading models. The user also modified a Word2Vec sentiment example to include a model download if one doesn't exist.
Suite of tools for deploying and training deep learning models using the JVM. Highlights include model import for keras, tensorflow, and onnx/pytorch, a modular and tiny c++ library for running math code and a java based math library on top of the core c++ library. Also includes samediff: a pytorch/tensorflow like library for running deep learn...
