• Designed and developed Skybot, a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) system, to analyze aviation documents through a chat interface, reducing analysis time by 50% using Langchain, Azure ai search, Azure Openai GPT4-0 and Llama 70B model. • Built a custom prompt evaluation pipeline for data extraction using Multi-Modal Model(GPT40), Azure Databricks, MLflow and Azure openai. Improving the accuracy by 20 % and reducing the development time by 40 %. for the text classification and data extraction. • Created a document classifier model for categorizing aviation documents into IATA classes using sentence segmentation and BERT, achieving 75% accuracy with a majority vote rule. • Using Promptify and the KOR libraries, an effective LLM-based Named Entity Relation Extraction system was created to extract key-value pairs from unstructured aviation text data. The objectives of this system are to decrease manual labour, enhance data accuracy, and automate the extraction process. Concepts of vertical scaling were employed to get around token limit issues. • Develop data models to transform raw data into meaningful insights and coming up with innovative solutions to be used by the Marketing Team and Product Team. Identify various factors and design key product/business metrics • Developed a generalized field extraction module which successfully extracts fields from complex scanned documents using machine learning and heuristic approach with >95 % extraction accuracy • Develop and support software including applications, database integration, interfaces, and new functionality enhancements. Create Data models and mathematical models of large data sets. Develop reports to make data meaningful to business initiatives, analyze data quantitatively and qualitatively and communicate findings. •Answering technical requirements for use cases and proof of concepts (POCs)
