I’m a PhD student currently working on Artificial Intelligence for computational analysis of audio events using deep learning methods. My research focuses on Automated Audio Captioning, a multimodal task aiming to build systems capable of describing an audio file using a sentence written in natural language. I am currently working at the Computer Science Research Institute of Toulouse, in France.
During my PhD, I have worked a lot with recent deep learning approaches, treated crossmodal data and worked on several supercomputers like Jean Zay. In a few months, I’m going to finish my PhD thesis, but I’d like to continue participating in the development of AI to help improve society.
