Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMarco Turchi is a machine translation and NLP leader with 12+ years of research and industry experience, currently heading Zoom’s Machine Translation group after leading the MT group at Fondazione Bruno Kessler. He combines deep academic roots—a PhD in Computer Science and extensive publications in SMT, quality estimation, and cross-language text mining—with hands-on systems skills in C/C++, Python, MATLAB and tools like Moses, GATE and Lucene. His work bridges research and production: applying SMT to news, summarization, event extraction and CAT workflows, and contributing to European projects such as SMART and Matecat. Known for pragmatic solutions to large-scale multilingual problems, he also brings expertise in HPC and robust outlier detection for noisy textual datasets. An unusual strength is his long-standing focus on integrating translation quality estimation directly into human-assisted translation pipelines to improve real-world translator productivity.
