Elbayad Maha

I am a 3rd year PhD student at LIG, in the GETALP team and at Inria part of the Thoth team. I work on Image captioning and sequence to sequence prediction with deep neural networks under the supervision of Jakob Verbeek and Laurent Besacier. My PhD is part of the Decore project-team.
I graduated from Centrale Paris (Class of 2016) and Ecole normale supérieure de Cachan where I did my MVA master.
More details can be found in my resume.

Interests: Neural machine translation, image captioning, variational inference, probabilistic graphical models, metric learning and representation learning.
