I’m a second time AI Founder with 13 years of ML experience. Currently I’m a co-founder and CTO at CyberClone. Platform for licensing likeness from talented individuals and do advanced AI production.
- Organizing London based community of Data Science and Machine Learning enthusiasts, we have more than 400 members and we meet offline every week.
- Up until recently I was a co-founder and CTO at https://brask.ai/ (formerly deepcake) creators of https://rask.ai/.
- finished PhD Program at Skoltech, my research topic was “3D Deep Learning for Holistic Scene Reconstruction”. Solving such problems requires understanding of 3D Deep Learning, Unsupervised Learning, Bayesian methods and Computer Graphics. To this day I’m believe in superiority of “Computer Vision as Inverse Graphics” approach.
- I’m also one of original co-founder of Open Data Science community — Largest Russian-language ML and AI professionals community with more than 70k members all over the world.
- In my free time I do live-coding in “Tidal Cycles” and do Generative Digital Art.
