Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolNuno Guerreiro is a Principal Research Scientist with 12 years of experience, recently completing a PhD in ECE and now leading AI research efforts in London. He has a strong track record of turning cutting-edge multilingual and multimodal ML research into production-grade systems, co-leading Tower (multilingual LLMs up to 70B) and xCOMET, a top-performing MT evaluation metric that outcompeted Google and Microsoft at WMT. His work spans pretraining, annealing and post-training of large models (e.g., EuroLLM trained on ~4 trillion tokens) and pragmatic adaptation of text-only LLMs to translation and vision tasks. Comfortable at the intersection of academia and product, he has driven research from thesis-funded projects to deployed offerings (widn.ai, Unbabel QI). Beyond models, he has a history of leadership and education—founding a tutoring platform to help students enter college and serving in multiple elected academic governance roles. He brings a rare combination of hands-on large-scale model engineering, published competitive results, and a commitment to explainability and practical impact.
