Vector Intern OJ Onyeagwu Enhances Partner Portal with AI Search and Recommendations
OJ Onyeagwu, a former materials engineering student turned AI enthusiast, successfully completed a Marketing Automation Internship at the Vector Institute for Artificial Intelligence. Transitioning from computational materials to artificial intelligence, Onyeagwu tackled significant usability challenges within Vector’s Partner Portal, which serves a diverse community of sponsors. He developed a comprehensive solution involving a Flask web API and a robust data pipeline to replace generic content feeds and limited search functions. By integrating a Qdrant vector database on Google Cloud Platform, he enabled semantic search capabilities that interpret user intent through embeddings rather than simple keyword matching. Additionally, he implemented a personalized recommender system that tailors content suggestions based on user profiles, such as industry and AI skill level. This innovation ensures that sponsors from different organizations receive relevant resources. The project also included automated data updates from various sources like WordPress, Vimeo, and arXiv. Onyeagwu presented his work at Vector’s Demo Day, marking a successful transition into the AI field and significantly improving the digital experience for Vector’s partners through advanced machine learning applications.
