Piotr Mirowski

Piotr studied computer science at ENSEEIHT and obtained his Ph.D. in deep learning at New York University under the supervision of Prof. Yann LeCun. He has a decade-long experience of machine learning in industrial research labs, where he developed solutions for epileptic seizure prediction from EEG, robotic navigation and natural language processing. His passion for performing arts, as a drama student with a 17-year background in improvised theatre, drew him to co-create (with Kory Mathewson) HumanMachine, an artistic experiment fusing improv and AI, where Piotr’s alter-ego Albert shares the stage with a computer called A.L.Ex. Piotr's collaborator Kory is a PhD student at the University of Alberta and an award-winning improv comedian.
