Modeling Skills

Worked with both supervised and unsupervised methods. Experience has mostly centered on Natural Language Processing using word embeddings and dimension reduction on text and comparing performance across Word2Vec vs LDA vs BERT. Also have experience in topic modeling with Latent Dirichlect Allocation. Other methods have centered around generalized linear models, random forest, KNN, PCA, XGBoost, SVM, etc. Implement feature importance,residuals analysis, measuring overfitting vs underfitting, sampling, cross validation, regularization, hyperparemeter tuning, ensembling models, bias vs variance tradeoff etc.
