AI & MLPythonDocument IntelligencePresentation Skills

Overview

The externship explored AI-driven document intelligence for enterprise PDFs using OCR, large language models, and retrieval-augmented generation. The work involved researching core LLM concepts and demonstrating how those components integrate into document-extraction pipelines. Deliverables documented model behavior, architectural considerations, and example integration patterns.

Tweet Entity Linking System

Built a production-grade multimodal NLP pipeline to disambiguate and link tweet entities to Wikipedia counterparts, combining DNNs, XGBoost, and SVMs in a stacked ensemble with model evaluation across all components Achieved accuracy on par with commercial APIs (AIDA, TagMe) while delivering inference in under 100 ms, outperforming both on latency

Real-Time AI Inference Engine

Engineered and deployed a real-time computer vision system for vehicle speed detection to a confidential Algerian company; the production system achieved sub-millisecond inference latency within a multithreaded architecture Exposed model predictions through a RESTful FastAPI service with strict Pydantic validation, containerized with Docker for scalable cloud deployment; optimized the YOLOv8 serving pipeline to sustain concurrent video streams without frame loss Note: linked GitHub repository is an open exploratory prototype used to test and get familiar with the underlying tech stack 6 it does not reflect the final proprietary production system
