Senior🎓
Top SchoolGábor Recski is an NLP researcher-turned-founder with over 14 years of hands-on experience designing information extraction, retrieval, and syntactic/semantic parsing systems and 16 years of work in the broader NLP space. As Co-Founder and Managing Director of KR Labs in Vienna he builds open-source tools for trustworthy RAG systems—authoring frameworks like LettuceDetect and VerbatimRAG to reduce hallucinations in production pipelines. He combines academic depth (PhD in Theoretical Linguistics, postdoc at TU Wien, 60+ peer-reviewed papers) with practical product leadership from roles at APOLLO.AI and Cliqz, and a track record of supervising and shipping research-driven software. Comfortable bridging theory and engineering, he has repeatedly turned computational semantics prototypes and open-source engines into deployed components for industry partners. An uncommon asset is his multilingual scholarly background (theoretical linguistics and English literature) which informs rigorous, language-aware system design.
