Biography

Sridevi Wagle is a machine learning (ML) engineer with a strong background in data analysis using interpretable ML and interactive data visualization. Wagle has experience building interactive artificial intelligence (AI)-driven applications, employing ML algorithms to aid domain scientists with comprehensive information processing, and working with large language models (LLMs) and retrieval augmented language models. She is proficient in data science and software engineering tasks, bridging the gap between data analysis and the development of robust AI solutions. Wagle has proficiency in developing end-to-end interactive visual analytics tools, such as Python, Plotly Dash, React, Explainable AI, scikit-learn, LLMs, C++, and OpenGL. These are some of the projects she has worked on while at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory:

  • Implemented multimodal search and chat applications for wind energy related research articles. 
  • Developed interactive analytics dashboard for comparing differently trained models using dimension reduction to reveal structural patterns among observations with similar differences in model outputs. 
  • Implemented AI-driven analytics dashboard to enable predictive inferences used to monitor global nuclear nonproliferation. 
  • Worked on LLMs for generating embeddings for large research articles and developed an interactive Jupyter widget for displaying uncertainty quantification of autoregressive styled LLMs.
