About

Arushi Rai is a highly skilled and experienced Data Scientist with a strong business acumen. She has expertise in building diverse data science products related to search and recommendations. Her skills include eda, topic modelling, clustering, embedding techniques, markov chain, text rank, entity prediction, intent prediction, and network analysis. Currently working as a Decision Scientist at Gojek, Arushi has developed a real-time tool to explain why booking completion rates were bad on a particular day. The attribution model uses shap with cat boost regression to explain local contributions of various input variables like drivers' acceptance rate, supply-demand gap, driver cancelations, etc. The model helps business teams in assessing the current state and deciding the number of supply hours required to achieve a given booking completion target and demand forecast in the future. Arushi has also built a playground using simulation, cat boost regression, and k nearest search to help businesses assess what levers will help them in achieving a target booking completion rate. Prior to her current role, Arushi worked as a Data Science Mentor at Great Learning and as an Associate Data Scientist at Gartner. At Gartner, she developed a graph-based intent recognition engine using word to vec, association mining, embedding, entity recognition, and graph techniques. She also worked with data engineers to build a scalable solution used on Search Typeahead and Srt leading to an 11 percent lift in client engagement on the search page. Arushi has a Bachelor's degree in Science from Khaitan Public School, Noida, and a Post Graduate Diploma in Analytics and Marketing from Narsee Monjee Institute of Management Studies. She is currently pursuing a Post Graduate Programme in Deep Learning from Indian Institute of Science (IISC). Arushi's technical skills include Research Scientist, Data Scientist, Search, ML, SQL, NLP, Python, AI, Word2Vec, test, Mobile, BERT, Text Classification, Supervised Learning, Sagemaker, MySQL, ui, and infra.
