Hi, I'm Ralph.


I'm passionate about machine learning, natural language processing, computer vision, speech processing, and statistics. Research-wise, I've driven the creative vision and technical direction for my 20+ first-author papers, winning a best paper award at ACL 2023. Engineering-wise, I've led and implemented AI language technology systems serving 20 million+ daily queries, receiving two companywide innovation awards at Comcast.

I've served as a reviewer for AAAI, AACL-IJCNLP, ACL, COLM, EACL, EMNLP Industry, and NAACL, as well as an area chair for ACL. My curriculum vitae has more details.
