I don’t get what “NLP/ML for Asian language processing and language education” work is. Can someone explain a bit more. What kinds of companies do this, what kind of businesses?



An example of "language education" is Duolingo, where the author used to be an employee.

"NLP/ML for Asian language processing" covers anything that has text in CJK/other languages. I work with Japanese and lots of things taken for granted in NLP pipelines require entirely different approaches specifically for Japanese. For example, there's no spaces, so word tokenization is actually a complicated issue.


I may be wrong but I think an obvious example is Google search.
