Freda Shi developed a name variants normalization feature for the acl-anthology repository, focusing on improving author attribution and data quality. She implemented a YAML-based configuration to standardize canonical, ORCID-aligned, and variant spellings for author names, specifically addressing cases like 'Haoyue Shi' and 'Haoyue Freda Shi.' By updating the name_variants.yaml file through traceable commits, Freda established a reproducible process for future expansions. Her work leveraged data management skills and proficiency with YAML to enhance downstream author matching and search accuracy. The project addressed a targeted data consistency issue, demonstrating depth in both technical implementation and process design.
