Senior🎓
Top SchoolHiroshi Noji is a lead researcher and ML engineer with 14 years of experience specializing in NLP and productionizing multimodal language solutions. He has led end-to-end efforts from research (ACL/Findings papers) to product, most recently designing an LLM-based, fully automated manga localization pipeline that materially improved human-evaluated quality. His background spans academia and industry—PhD-level NLP research at AIST and faculty experience—plus hands-on systems work building models and edge deployments (Apple Neural Engine, ONNX) and defining chip-level specs for massive LLM training clusters. Known for practical algorithmic improvements (e.g., orders-of-magnitude speedups for RNNG inference) he combines deep research rigor with product-minded execution across hardware, model, and application layers.
