Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJan Kocoń is an R&D leader and Assistant Professor with 12+ years of hands-on experience in NLP and ML, combining academic rigor (PhD, 90+ publications) with large-scale project leadership across CLARIN, PLLuM and multiple EU-funded initiatives. He designs and manages teams building transformer-based, personalized models for subjective tasks—emotion, sentiment, hate speech and humor recognition—while advancing cross-lingual and language-agnostic approaches for Polish and multilingual settings. As PI and AI/ML team lead he has overseen multimillion-PLN projects and coordinated teams of 20–50+ researchers to deliver production-ready annotation pipelines and Transformer models. A certified NVIDIA DLI instructor, he blends deep technical skills (PyTorch, Hugging Face, TensorFlow) with practical product impact—e.g., winning HackYeah on optimizing renewable power plant design and driving Poland-focused LLM development at PLLuM. Not obvious from titles: he integrates lexical resources like plWordNet into deep models, marrying linguistic knowledge with scalable deep learning for richer affective understanding.
