Master’s Thesis - The Challenges of Federated Learning in a Distributed Relational Database

Synthesis: Studying the empirical challenges of applying gradient descent methods and bagging in machine learning in distributed relational databases with skewed data partitions

Role: Experimented the distributed versions of the algorithms ‘linear regression’ and ‘random forest trees’ and restored some of the lost accuracy due to skewness of the data partitions

Tools: Docker, Python (Sci-kit Learn, threading, Pandas, visdom, Plotly, abc), Bash

Deep Learning Project - Training Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs)

Synthesis: Training a GAN and comparing against a VAE over Street View House Numbers dataset

Role: Developed a customized GAN classi er and implemented the importance sampling VAE

Tools: Python (PyTorch)

Reinforcement Learning Project - Bitcoin Auto-trader

Synthesis: Implementing RL algorithms to trade in a simulated exchange market using Bit nix’s data

Role: Selecting and testing RL algorithms such as Dyna-Q, Fitted-Q, and a range of tabular MDP algorithms

Tools: Python (Pandas, Matplotlib), Bash

Applied Machine Learning Project - Data Curation

Synthesis: Web scraping to curate a multilingual dialogue dataset using Scrapy’s python framework and Splash’s docker service

Role: Programmed a web crawler to extract French dialogues from Doctissimo’s internet forums

Tools: Docker (Splash), Python (Scrapy, lxml, re)

Machine Learning Project - Data Visualization

Synthesis: Composing a tutorial on Visdom, a visualization tool developed by Facebook AI Research

Role: Partnered with Dendi Suhubdy, a current PhD student in MILA lab, to write a tutorial on GitHub demonstrating how to display video and GIF les on Visdom severs

Tools: GitHub Markdown

Research and Development Intern Apr 2017 { Jul 2017 Behsazan Mellat Co.

Synthesis: Pro ling accounts and customers for fraud detection analysis on banking transactions, using IBM InfoSphere DataStage

Role: Designed an ETL data

ow from an OLAP database to streamline monthly business intelligence (BI) reports

Tools: IBM InfoSphere DataStage, IBM DB2, IBM Cognos, R (K-Nearest Neighbours)
