Hi! I'm Kiri Nichol. I'm a machine learning scientist / researcher based in Vancouver, British Columbia.

I work on prototyping and evaluating machine learning tools. I look for projects where the prediction accuracy and the cost of errors are transparent to both the developer and the users. I can help you....

• develop and train machine learning models for novel tasks.
• translate product ideas into solvable technical problems
• design and implement strategies for generating feedback about prediction quality

I have worked in many domains including fraud detection, medical imaging and text search. I have experience tackling problems in image classification/segmentation, natural language processing, time series and unstructured data. My favourite problems are in domains where there are no existing models!

I hold a PhD in physics and I learned to build machine learning tools by tackling challenges on Kaggle. My Kaggle competition high rank is 78 and I became a competition Master on my eighth competition..
