Hi, my name is
Meriem Melki.
ML/NLP Scientist & AI Engineer, looking for an internship.
Final-year Computer Science Engineering student (equivalent to a Master's degree), graduating January 2027, seeking an internship in Machine Learning, Deep Learning, and AI.
01. About Me
I'm a final-year Computer Science Engineering student at INSAT (Bac+5, equivalent to a Master's degree), graduating in January 2027, currently looking for an internship as an AI / ML / NLP Scientist.
I've shipped production ML systems: optimizing a RAG pipeline for a medical exam-prep chatbot (answer faithfulness 0.73 → 0.92) at QCMed, and building order-time prediction models on 50K+ orders at Acrelec.
Outside of internships, I run applied research projects across audio classification, computer vision, agentic AI, and big data. I like taking a paper or an idea and turning it into a working system I can measure.

AI Intern @ QCMed.tn
06/2026 – 08/2026
Tunisia (Remote)
- ▹Optimized a production RAG pipeline for a medical exam-prep chatbot, lifting answer faithfulness from 0.73 to 0.92 and answer correctness from 0.38 to 0.82.
- ▹Cut hallucinations with a cross-encoder re-ranker and query router, hardening the system against prompt-injection attacks.
- ▹Boosted context recall from 0.68 to 0.96.
- ▹Set up evaluation pipelines with RAGAS to track answer faithfulness, correctness, and context recall over time.
