Summary
Hristo Georgiev is a linguist-turned-software entrepreneur with over 30 years leading Langsoft, a family-owned NLP research and development firm based in Switzerland. He combines a PhD in General and Applied Linguistics with hands-on expertise in parsing, machine translation, spell-checking, question answering, logical inference and multimodal text-to-voice/video systems across English, German, French and Italian. His work blends academic rigor from early research at the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences and teaching stints in the UK with pragmatic product-focused engineering, delivering commercial and research-grade language technologies. Hristo is comfortable spanning the full stack of language processing—from formal grammars and inference engines to applied services like summarisation and attribution. Less obvious: he has sustained a continuous R&D practice since the 1990s, evolving legacy linguistic methods into modern AI-driven language tools. Based in Walenstadt, he brings rare deep linguistic scholarship to practical NLP solutions for multilingual contexts.
