This work is critical to demonstrate the potential of the latest technology to improve the lives of children at risk. 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 States 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 u2022 Create a Development Framework o Establish a framework for the execution of technical tasks within the proof-of-concept. The framework will consist of task breakouts, milestones, and deliverables o Identify critical milestones related to information, receipt of data, testing, and delivery. o Identify key risk factors and means of mitigation. u2022 Current Processes & Technology o Participate in critical discussions involving current intake workflows, how decisions are made based on information from the intake process, and the allocation of State labor. 2 o Contribute to the identification of intake process shortcomings and prioritize based on their impact on children and State resources. u2022 Devise New Intake Approach Using New Technologies o Lead the development of a new intake process that leverages natural language processing and other machine learning algorithms. o Identify the functional blocks and reconcile their contributions to solving the prioritized shortcomings. o Evaluate architectural and computational implementation trade-offs for each functional block. The evaluation should consider risk from the standpoints of technical, schedule, and security. o Evaluate trade-offs of using different data sources, including existing systems, sample data, simulated data, or other alternatives. o Document the final approach for transparency. u2022 Design Review(s) o Create the framework for the design review process. o 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. o Documentation of the process for transparency. u2022 Implementation of Proof-of-Concept o Oversee the implementation of the prototype by conducting weekly status updates and, when appropriate, gate reviews. o Provide guidance when needed to mitigate risk and remove technical or administrative roadblocks. u2022 Conference Room Demonstration o During the course of 3-4 days, provide conference room support to demonstrate that shows how the prototype application can improve child outcomes and reduce State resources. o Capture key stakeholder comments regarding technical aspects of the application. u2022 Roadmap o Contribute to the development of a roadmap that illustrates how the developed technology could be integrated into the States ecosystem of technologies and processes. u2022 Agile Development Process o Contribute to the Agile development process to ensur Call502-379-4456 Ext 100for more details.
