Postdoctoral Researcher

Meta AI

About me

I am a Postdoctoral Researcher at Meta AI in Paris, where I am advised by Yann LeCun. My research currently focuses on self-supervised learning. I am also curious about technology and its implications in politics and entrepreneurship. I sometimes write on these subjects for different organizations such as the Group for Geopolitical Studies, a european think-tank hosted at École normale supérieure.

Prior to that, I was a PhD Student in Machine Learning in the Sierra research team at Inria, where I was co-advised by Julien Mairal and Alexandre d'Aspremont. During my PhD, I proposed architectural improvements for learning from small or medium sized datasets such as scientific data.

L'oeil d'Apple dans nos iPhones ?

Les outils développés par Apple pour traquer et signaler automatiquement les images pédopornographiques stockées sur les smartphones de ses utilisateurs soulèvent de nombreuses inquiétudes relatives à la protection des données. Ils sont surtout le symptôme d'une évolution dans les standards de traitement des données par les géants du numérique. Une analyse à retrouver sur le site de la revue Esprit.

Le logiciel libre, outil de soft power et de lutte contre le Covid-19

Gustave Ronteix et moi-même avons interrogé Alexandre Gramfort, chercheur en machine learning à Inria Saclay, pour le Grand Continent. Open source comme outil stratégique, naissance de scikit-learn, IA en santé, GAFAs et monde académique : le résultat est passionnant et disponible ici.
