Hello, thanks for stopping by! I'm Meraldo. I'm a data scientist and writer based in Singapore. I am passionate about languages, NLP and Big Data.
I'm currently working as an AI Apprentice at AI Singapore , where I am building a chatbot that can respond to human questions and pinpoint a specific information within a document. This model is powered by an NLP model called BiDAF.
Prior to joining AI Singapore, I worked as a Senior Analyst at Datarama, a start-up that uses AI to streamline due diligence processes.
You can read more about my work and background here.
This website serves as a repository of projects I've undertaken and my reflection on being a budding data scientist. Below are the most recent entries I posted; you can find a complete list of entries here.
