Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolFei W is a Senior Machine Learning Research Engineer with a decade of experience building and optimizing NLP and speech systems for production, currently advancing on-device speech models, LLM fine-tuning, and dialogue/QA applications at Samsung Research America. Her background spans applied research roles at The AI Foundation and Johns Hopkins, where she worked on controlled text generation, multi-task learning, sentence representations, and model compression techniques such as quantization. Fei has a strong track record of turning research ideas into deployable systems—bridging knowledge graphs, question-answering, and generation pipelines to improve conversational capabilities. She combines deep academic training (MS from Johns Hopkins) with hands-on engineering across speech, vision, and embedded systems dating back to early work on humanoid-robot NLP and optical-flow obstacle avoidance. Colleagues describe her as collaborative and results-driven, able to move models from prototyping to efficient on-device inference. An underrated strength is her practical focus on compression and efficiency, enabling large-model capabilities in resource-constrained environments.
