Senior🎓
Top SchoolLászló Laki is a Senior Natural Language Processing Engineer with a Ph.D. in machine translation and over a decade of experience building production-grade MT and LLM systems across academia and industry. He architected the translator backend at Globalese—covering model training, XLIFF translation, cloud integration and recent ChatGPT augmentations—and introduced innovations like subword-based XML tag replacement, domain adaptation workflows, and GPT-boosted terminology extraction that measurably improved translation quality. In parallel he leads development at the Research Institute for Linguistics, driving Hungarian-centric LLM work including a monolingual 6B GPT3 and a trilingual GPTrio model, plus instruction-tuned variants and LLAMA-index experiments for intelligent search. Now at memoQ, he combines research rigor with product-focused engineering to deploy domain-adapted, scalable NLP features for real-world localization workflows. Notably, his work bridges legacy statistical MT expertise and modern transformer/LLM approaches, making him adept at lifting research models into operational translation pipelines.
