Over twelve years of constructing production software primarily in intelligent/adaptive systems. My focus has been primarily on text classification and automatic language analysis. My goals are to continue building intelligent software systems, enhance my business knowledge and mentor others.
(Privately Held; Computer Software industry)
June 2003 — Present (6 years 6 months)
* Design and implementation of a large scale text classification system, including a shallow lexer, feature extractor(s) (Latin/Japanese tokenization), supervised learning tools, training and runtime harnesses, HTTP proxy-based document annotation tool, language analysis, and other sub-projects to facilitate development and deployment of multiple language/category models.
* Developed methods to employ genetic algorithms in feature engineering.
* Developed classification system to support a medium-scale ontology construction (20+ categories/language)
* Design and implementation of a SMS/Chat filtering solution.
* Research, design and implementation of an automated distributed HTTP crawling and rating service.
* Authored three patent reports; patents pending.
* Numerous tools and libraries to support the aforementioned systems, e.g., URL canonization, math routines, lightweight XML parser, etc.
