Nayeon Lee is a Senior Research Scientist based in Mountain View with 11 years of experience advancing reliability and factuality in large language models. Currently at NVIDIA, she rose through research roles after internships at Facebook AI and Meta where she worked on misinformation detection and fact-checking for language models. Her work includes tackling hallucination in open-ended generation, culminating in publications such as the NeurIPS paper on Factuality Enhanced Language Models. Trained with a PhD from HKUST and a BEng in Computer Science Engineering, she blends rigorous academic grounding with hands-on production research. Colleagues describe her as someone who moves smoothly between modeling innovations and pragmatic evaluation, and she often bridges industry-scale system constraints with careful experimental design. She brings a rare combination of deep NLP expertise and a track record of shipping research that directly addresses real-world trust and integrity challenges in AI.
