As an Artificial Intelligence Engineer specializing in Machine Translation, I bring a practical edge to the world of NLP. Currently, I lead the R&D efforts for ModernMT, the Machine Translation engine that powers Translated. I supervise research activities, ensuring they are productionizable, and propose efficient approaches. I additionally take part in managing the production infrastructure.Daily, I focus on software development, releasing updates, and implementing new solutions to enhance efficiency and incorporate new research findings. My work spans various NLP tasks, mainly Machine Translation, but also includes language detection, profanity identification, and data cleaning pipelines.Staying at the forefront of technology is crucial in our rapidly evolving field. I consistently stay updated by actively participating in webinars and staying abreast of newly released papers. This commitment to ongoing learning enables me to incorporate the latest advancements into my work.What particularly intrigues me in the realm of NLP is the opportunity to facilitate universal understanding. I find it compelling to explore ways in which technology can break language barriers, allowing everyone to communicate and be understood in their own language.Feel free to explore my personal website (https://valegian.github.io/) for a detailed look at my university projects (updated to June 2022) and connect if you're interested in discussing the exciting possibilities within NLP and AI.
