🇻🇳 I visited Hue for the first time to present my work, "Benchmarking Open-Source Vietnamese-English Speech-to-Text Translation Systems," which will appear in the MAPR 2026 proceedings.
About
My current research lies at the intersection of low-resource language technologies, machine translation, large language models, and speech processing. I aim to develop practical and culturally grounded AI systems that address the unique challenges of underrepresented languages, particularly Vietnamese.
Research interests
Speech-to-speech translation · Vietnamese NLP · Language safety · Large language models
I’d be happy to discuss my research, potential collaborations, or related topics via email.
