  • Location: Remote: Jackson, MS
  • Pay rate: Hourly
  • Job ID: 156573
Overview:
Client seeks a senior data scientist to support a proof-of-concept demonstration using natural language processing and other machine learning methods to improve the intake process. This work is critical to demonstrate the potential of the latest technology to improve the lives of children at risk.
Responsibilities:
  • The Senior Data Scientist will be responsible for overseeing and supporting the development, implementation, and testing of statistical models, integration of NLP, and refinement and testing of the prototype. In addition, algorithmic trade-offs will be evaluated, and guidance provided to ensure the State’s objectives are satisfied.
  • The Senior Data Scientist will work closely with State stakeholders and technical team members to ensure the quality of the results and that the derived methods are transparent, statistically sound, relevant, and documented.
Key Responsibilities
  • Contribute to the identification of intake process shortcomings and prioritize based on their impact on children and State resources.
  • Devise New Intake Approach Using New Technologies
  • Lead the development of a new intake process that leverages natural language processing and other machine learning algorithms.
  • Identify the functional blocks and reconcile their contributions to solving the prioritized shortcomings.
  • Evaluate architectural and computational implementation trade-offs for each functional block.
  • The evaluation should consider risk from the standpoints of technical, schedule, and security.
  • Evaluate trade-offs of using different data sources, including existing systems, sample data, simulated data, or other alternatives.
  • Document the final approach for transparency.
  • Design Review(s)
  • Create the framework for the design review process.
  • Lead the design review and evaluate
  • The functional design with respect to resolving prioritized intake process shortcomings, and the impact on children and State resources.
  • Technical, schedule, data security, and other risk factors.
  • Source of data and its usefulness in demonstrating the efficacy of the approach.
  • Proposed methods of test and demonstration.
  • Documentation of the process for transparency.
  • Implementation of Proof-of-Concept
  • Oversee the implementation of the prototype by conducting weekly status updates and, when appropriate, gate reviews.
