Inicio (start-up) Machine Learning Engineer, Paris |
Apr - Sep 2019 |
CIIRC (Czech Institute of Informatics, Robotics and Cybernetics) Research Intern, Prague Under the supervision of Tomas Mikolov (Facebook AI). Studied emergence, complexity and spontaneous organization in complex systems and their applications to Artificial intelligence. Resulted in a conference paper. |
Mar - Sep 2018 |
INRIA and CNRS (LIMSI) Research Intern, Paris Under the supervision of Xavier Tannier and Ioana Manolescu. Built a software for extracting and integrating multiple data sources with NLP and data processing algorithms for data journalism. Worked with journalists from Le Monde (Les Decodeurs) on automating their data processing pipelines and using NLP for their investigations. Reviewed literature on machine learning in graphs, automatic knowledge base construction and natural language processing for fact checking. |
Jun - Sep 2017 and (Part-time) Oct 2017 - Mar 2018 |
Aiden.ai (start-up, acquired by Twitter) Software engineering and Machine Learning Research Intern, London Worked on building an AI powered virtual colleague for Marketing analysts based on Natural Language Processing. Participated in implementing the chat interface and the Natural Language recognition system with Javascript. Implemented Machine learning algorithms with Python for predicting marketing data, classifying and clustering users. (Report) |
Sep 2016 - Feb 2017 |
ENS Ulm, Kastler-Brossel Laboratory Research assistant, Paris Light control and propagation in amplified multimode fibers (report) Implemented and optimized finite elements simulations with Python and Matlab. Performed high performance computing on scientific calculation clusters. Worked with a PhD candidate on building a tool for optimizing the propagation of a light beam in optical fibers. |
