Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolLinxiao Zeng is a Machine Learning Engineer based in Singapore with 8 years of experience specializing in NLP and machine translation, particularly for Asian (CJK) languages. Currently building real-time speech translation services at Zoom, he brings production-focused expertise in translation pipelines, tokenization, and constraint handling. As a key contributor to the widely used OpenNMT-py project, he enhanced REST server capabilities, n-best support, and subword vocabulary handling—work that bridges research advances and deployable systems. His background spans research and product roles where he applied BERT for quality boosts, cut post-editing by 70% through novel constraint techniques, and explored document-level translation and end-to-end speaker diarization. Educated in engineering and machine learning in China and France, he combines strong academic foundations with hands-on system building across research and production contexts.
