Top SchoolFernando Manchego is a lecturer in Natural Language Processing at Cardiff University with 11 years of research and teaching experience spanning text simplification, readability assessment, evaluation of NLG, and NLP for education. He completed a PhD on sentence simplification and has applied his expertise in roles from research associate on machine translation quality estimation to an applied scientist internship at Amazon working on multitask entity linking.
