  AI Researcher

  While at New York University Abu Dhabi, my specific contributions were:- Fine-Tuning of Language Models: I created an automated script that automated the whole fine-tuning process of a GPT-type of language model. This script managed data preparation, initialization of the model, optimization of parameters, and the measurement of performance, significantly minimizing manual interference and speeding up cycles of experimentation.- Efficient Adaptation Methods Implementation: I worked on maximizing the performance of the model at the lowest possible computational costs. This enabled us to effectively use a smaller model, which is more commonly applied to larger, high-resource models, on a given task.- Collaborative Problem Solving: In close collaboration with a the team, I was responsible for the experimentation and testing stages, and thereby realized considerable enhancement in the precision of the predictions at different levels of code complexities.This not only enhanced my technical knowledge in machine learning, data pre-processing, and automated model training but also augmented my problem-solving and teamwork skills.
