Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAnder Corral is an NLP researcher and engineer with nine years of experience specializing in machine translation and large language models, particularly for low-resource languages. He spans the full pipeline from data curation and model training to deploying production-ready systems, currently advancing research at Orai NLP Teknologiak after four years at Elhuyar. Ander contributes to prominent open-source tooling—most notably improving core vocabulary handling, feature support, and inference stability in the widely used OpenNMT-py framework—reflecting deep practical knowledge of model internals. Trained at UPV/EHU in computer engineering and intelligent systems, he combines academic rigor with a pragmatic focus on real-world impact and robustness. A detail that sets him apart is his hands-on commitment to making MT work reliably from checkpoints through validation, not just in experiments but in production deployments.
