Sneha Mehta

I’m an AI research scientist and engineer. I’ve done research in NLP (large language models, machine translation, and information extraction), graph ml (representation learning), recommender systems and HCI (crowdsourcing). Currently, I work on LLM post-training at Meta for ARVR devices such as Rayban Meta Smart Glasses and Quest. In the past, I have worked on building recommender systems for global social networks such as Twitter & TikTok.

I graduated with a PhD from the Data Mining Group at Virginia Tech, where I had the privilege to be advised by Dr. Naren Ramakrishnan. I was also fortunate enough to have had my PhD studies funded by both an NSF Graduate Research Fellowship and a DARPA Research Grant. Before that I spent time developing crowd+AI systems with Dr. Kurt Luther.

My research proposal was accepted to be awarded a Twitch Research Fellowship in 2020. In the past I’ve spent time at Netflix working on improving deep machine translation models for subtitles and making movies at Dreamworks Animation.
