Summary
Mikhail Nokel is a Senior Machine Learning Engineer with 13 years of experience bridging research-grade NLP and industrial robotics, currently teaching robots complex manipulation tasks like palletizing, picking and sorting at Yango Tech Robotics. He led early deployment of Transformer-based neural machine translation at Yandex, driving large BLEU gains over phrase-based systems and integrating Transformer models into TTS and ASR normalizers with measurable quality improvements. His background spans query expansion, recommender systems and production ML pipelines, informed by teaching roles in algorithms and strong academic training at MSU and Yandex School of Data Analysis. Comfortable moving models from prototype to product, he combines deep algorithmic expertise with hands-on robotics and systems engineering—an unusual blend that lets him optimize both language models and physical agents.
