I am the Head of Machine Learning Research at Sonos, focusing on privacy-first speech recognition for voice experiences. I was previously the Director of Machine Learning Research at Snips (acquired by Sonos in November 2019) that I joined in February 2017. I am lucky to work with a team of around 60 extremely talented and passionate people in our R&D department “Sonos Voice Experience” in Paris.
On June 1st 2022, after several yearks of work, we released Sonos Voice Control : an on-device voice control interface on Sonos speakers, putting speed accuracy and privacy on an equal footing. You can find more details in this post on Sonos Tech Blog.
Prior to joining Snips, I was a PhD student at the theoretical physics lab of the École Normale Supérieure (Paris). I focused on high-dimensional inference with graphical models in the context of protein structure prediction.
