Software Engineering Intern @ Google, CA - Summer 2013
At Google, I interned in the NLP Research group and my work focused on contributing to Google's Knowledge Graph(KG) freshness. In particular I worked on automatically extracting fresh information from annotated news articles to be added to KG. During my internship I developed a system composed of an KG update extraction component as well as a machine-learned validation component. The validation component utilized various signals related to the entities associated with the extracted information as well as signals extracted from the texts that triggered the extractions.
Research Intern @ Microsoft Research, CA - Summer 2012
At Microsoft Research, I interned in the Search Labs group and my work focused on automatically augmenting educational textbooks with videos. We proposed techniques for identifying the focus of a section in relationship to other sections in the book in terms of a few indicia, which themselves are unique combinations of concept phrases. We scored the candidate videos for augmenting a textbook section based on concept phrases from that section's indicia present in the auditory tract of the video. Our tests using two corpora of textbooks indicated that our system is able to find useful videos.
Data Analytics Intern @ LinkedIn - Summer 2011
At LinkedIn I worked on the InMaps product which provides a visualization of each member's network. In particular I worked on the community detection algorithm that colors the egonet vertices as well as on the automatic label suggestion of the detected communities.For the implementation I used Java and pig and the final work flow was deployed on the Hadoop cluster of LinekdIn.
Open Lab Summer Student @ CERN - Summer 2007
I participated in a project for a simulation of the BitTorrent protocol and chocking and unchoking algorithms by extending existing network simulator software.This demanded an in depth understanding of the structure and advantages of PlanetSim, the simulator, and the BitTorrent prorocol.
External Stagier @ CERN - Summer 2006
In cooperation with the CMS-experiment group I designed and implemented a web-based application for conferences concerning the CMS-experiment and their candidates, using a multi-tier architecture based on MySQL, Java Servlets, JSP and XML technologies.
