PROFILE
Savitha-eng
Savitha contributed to the NVIDIA/bionemo-framework repository by engineering robust data pipelines and scalable training infrastructure for deep learning on genomic datasets. Over six months, she integrated the SCDL memory-mapped dataset format into Geneformer, standardizing data access and improving error handling for edge cases in gene expression analysis. She refactored feature indexing using Python and NumPy to accelerate large-scale data processing, and implemented distributed training utilities with PyTorch for the llama3_native_te model, including gradient accumulation to optimize GPU memory usage. Her work also included CI/CD automation with GitHub Actions and Slack integration, enhancing workflow reliability and cross-team communication for nightly builds.

Oct 1, 2024October 2024 monthly summary for NVIDIA/bionemo-framework: Delivered the SingleCellDataset SCDL Integration and Format Standardization feature. Refactored Geneformer SingleCellDataset to integrate SCDL (SingleCellMemmapDataset), standardized inputs to SCDL format, and used SCDL's get_row function. Added robust error handling for genes not present in the tokenizer vocabulary and for cells with no gene expression values. Maintained Megatron compatibility to support large-scale inference. This work reduces data-format friction, improves robustness, and unlocks downstream processing by ensuring data is consistently supplyable in SCDL format.
