Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolKenneth Li is a linguistic engineer and founder with eight years of experience at the intersection of speech technology, NLP, and neurotechnology, currently exploring audio modalities for wearable devices at Reality Labs (Meta). He previously founded InnerSpeech to translate biosignals into text, releasing open-source tools and earning support from major startup programs like Nvidia Inception and Google for Startups. His background spans hands-on ASR/TTS model work, contextual biasing, and LLM-augmented rescoring from roles at Dialpad and kea, plus academic projects in Chinese segmentation and grammatical error correction. Trained in Speech & Language Processing (University of Edinburgh) and Linguistics (CityUHK), he blends linguistic insight with ML engineering to ship production-ready systems and mentor students. Less obvious: he couples neurotechnology experiments with practical deployment experience, bridging invasive/non-invasive biosignal research and commercial ASR solutions.
