In this episode, we discuss how watching Star Wars first sparked Ming’s interest in speech and language technologies, the role of networking and mentorship in supporting his transition from academia to working in industry and his continued growth in the field of language machine learning at Amazon and Meta, and his take on the importance of learning how to zoom out and understand the big picture when approaching research problems.

Hosted by Michael Wilkinson
