Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolPratik Joshi is a research engineer with a decade of experience at the intersection of NLP, multilingual systems, and generative models, currently working at Google DeepMind. He holds an MS from Carnegie Mellon’s Language Technologies Institute and has driven research and production projects spanning dialog systems, continual learning for generative models, and code generation with large language models. His work blends academic rigor—publishing and developing continual learning techniques to prevent catastrophic forgetting—with practical engineering, from entity-aware translation of educational content to Android UX improvements in the widely used ODK Collect app. Pratik has interned and collaborated with top labs (DeepMind, Microsoft, Google) on semantic parsing, logical entailment, and low-resource language technologies, often focusing on interpretable, graph-informed neural methods. Based in Mountain View, he combines hands-on implementation skills across mobile and research codebases with a knack for bridging research ideas into robust, user-facing systems. An active open-source contributor, he brings a rare mix of conversational AI expertise and product-minded engineering to multilingual and dialog challenges.
