About
With 10 years of experience, I am a machine learning and vision scientist in a broad sense. My work spans from neural data analysis to context classification in computer vision. My latest research is in collaboration with Antoine Manzanera, in lifelong learning of visual representations, particularly in the problems of incremental learning and curiosity. I am also a lecturer in computer vision, mathematics, informatics, and cognitive science. I have taught at several French universities at BSc and MSc levels.Research Interests
Visual perception, unsupervised Learning, incremental learning, probabilistic models, information theory, data science.
