Research Scientist (QA & ML), Rates Algorithmic Trading Strategies
I am a Data Scientist mainly focussed of new Theoretical Machine Learning methods but always keeping in mind practical applications and implementations. I am particularly interested in tackling Game theory derived Learning problem (That's why I work in Finance !) and social sciences issues in AI. Now what's really matter! I am a cinema addict, for those speaking French if you really want to know me: check my profile flaviiiii on Télérama'Vodkaster
