Expertise with Audio Language Models like AudioPALM, Moshi and Seamless M4T
Proven track record of developing and applying novel neural network architectures such as Transformers, Mixture of Experts, Diffusion Models, and State Space Machines (MAMBA, SAMBA).
Extensive experience in developing and optimizing models for low-latency, real-time applications.
Strong background in multilingual speech recognition and synthesis, with an understanding of the challenges specific to different language families.
Proficiency in deep learning frameworks (e.g., TensorFlow, PyTorch) and experience deploying large-scale speech and audio models.
Demonstrated expertise in high-performance computing with proficiency in Python, C/C++, CUDA, and kernel-level programming for AI applications.
Experience with audio signal processing techniques and their application in end-to-end neural models.
Strong track record of publications in top AI conferences and journals, particularly in the areas of speech, audio, and language models.
