Hi! I'm currently part of the post-training team at Poolside. I'm also building dreamlook.ai, a highly optimized service to train diffusion models at scale. In the past, I trained Cedille.ai, a large openly available French language model.
During my Ph.D. at EPFL, I worked on applied machine learning and opinion mining in the context of Digital Health and built Crowdbreaks, a Machine Learning system that combines crowdsourcing and Natural Language Processing for monitoring health trends in real-time. COVID-Twitter-BERT, a language model finetuned on Twitter data collected through Crowdbreaks, has since been downloaded over 1.2M times from the HuggingFace Hub.
I'm a big proponent of Open Science and improving reproducibility in scientific work, a topic on which I have organized multiple workshops. I easily obsess over food, beer brewing 🍺 and mushroom hunting 🍄. I currently live in Zurich, Switzerland.
