Yada Pruksachatkun

I am a ML researcher turned engineer. I’m most known for my work with SuperGLUE and responsible AI, although I’ve also played a major role in building systems that automate millions of calls in the healthcare space. I have dedicated my career to work that balances social impact, business viability, and technical innovation. These days, I lead ML at VC-backed (and Stanford AI lab spinout) Moonhub, where I’m helping make the recruiting market less inefficient and painful to navigate.

I also am a budding maker. My current project is a room-scale one blending electronics, game design, and environmental education, to be launched at an art festival in November.

Some things I’ve built:

• Built a ML platform that powers hundreds of thousands of healthcare calls to help people in the US get access to care faster and more affordably.
• Worked on research projects around benchmarking NLP models, transfer learning, and building trustworthy NLP.
• Led the buildout of a conversational search engine for candidates (six months before LinkedIn released a similar product).
• Worked as a production assistant on an indie film set.

Blog posts and Online Content:

• [NEW] A letter to high school students to technology-proof your career
• How to Debug a ML Model: A Case Study
• Practical Tips: Data Curation for ML Products
• Practical Tips and Tricks for Successful Transfer Learning
• Building Trustworthy ML Systems
• Hopefully, I will have more arts-related content online soon!

What I’d Love to Talk About:

• How to push humanity's pareto frontier
• Funding models to do so (impact investing, etc).
• Working with RFID readers for art projects.
