Michael Auli is an AI researcher and advisor with over a decade of experience translating cutting-edge research into widely adopted systems, including co-inventing convolutional seq2seq models and wav2vec and co-leading the fairseq platform. As a former Principal Research Scientist and area lead for speech at Meta/FAIR, he led teams that won WMT translation tasks and drove foundational projects like MMS and data2vec that scale speech and multimodal self-supervision. Based in the San Francisco Bay Area, he blends deep academic roots (PhD and First Class BSc in AI from the University of Edinburgh) with product-minded engineering to move models from research into production. Less obvious: his work repeatedly emphasized practical tooling and open ecosystems, helping entire communities adopt self-supervised speech and translation technologies.
