Summary
Xindi Wang is an Applied Scientist II with a Ph.D. in Network Science and eight years of experience applying ML, NLP, and graph methods to personalization and entity resolution at Amazon Alexa and recommendation systems at Fidelity. She has led production-focused projects that improved Alexa entity resolution accuracy by ~5% and dramatically boosted robustness to ASR errors on high-traffic use cases, and earlier prototyped rankers that yielded ~10% gains. Trained under Barabási and Eliassi-Rad, her background blends computational social science and network modeling with practical large-scale experimentation and A/B testing. Based in Toronto, she pairs deep academic rigor with hands-on deployment experience across voice, search, and recommendation domains, and often leverages graph-based data augmentation to solve upstream noise and ambiguity.
