Senior🎓
Top SchoolIrene Li is an AI researcher and educator with 10 years of experience bridging cutting-edge NLP research and applied deep learning, currently serving as a Project Lecturer at The University of Tokyo. A Yale PhD and co-founder/Chief AI Scientist at Smartor LLC, she has published in top venues (ACL, AAAI, COLING, MIE) and interned at leading labs including Tencent AILab, IBM Research and Baidu. Her background spans transfer learning, multilingual and document understanding, and production-focused models developed during roles at Accenture and industry research groups. Comfortable oscillating between academia and product, she brings both entrepreneurial drive and hands-on engineering—from LSTM time-series and attention-based NLP to representation learning and graph/distributed systems. Based in Tokyo, she combines international research training (UCD M.Sc., multiple Ireland and Japan positions) with a knack for turning research prototypes into applied solutions.
