Lee Lab, Keck School of Medicine, USC (Research) Los Angeles, USA Natural Language Processing Researcher - Advisor: Prof. Dr. Hayoun Lee Jan 2025 - Present
Implemented a Medical Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) MVP to analyze HIV guidelines and research, generating regimen recommendations for Physicians.
Developed a LangChain-based system to convert complex medical PDFs into structured text and integrated Chroma DB for retrieval.
Leveraged Qwen-2.5-7B for LLM and achieved accuracy of 85.7%.
•
ViyaMD (Internship) Los Angeles, USA
Machine Learning Engineer May 2024-July 2024
Conducted a Virtual Product Reveiw (VPR) on multiple Data Ingestion platforms (Azure Data Explorer, Adobe Experience Platform Data Ingestion, PDFMiner, LangChain data loaders, etc.) for Medical RAG use-case.
Compared extracted PDFs from the VPR with ground-truth PDFs by designing a custom Data ingestion-evaluation pipeline.
Evaluated pipeline accuracy by measuring precision (92.3%), recall (89%), and F1(90.12%) scores to quantify extraction and conversion reliability.
Visualized the above performance analysis using CometML and found Adobe Experience Platform Data Ingestion to be the best.
