Nathanaël Perraudin

Sr. Data Scientist
Academia
(Alumni)

After finishing his Master in electrical engineering at the Ecole Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), Nathanaël worked as a researcher in the Acoustic Research Institute (ARI) in Vienna. In 2013, he returned to EPFL for a PhD, where he specialized in different fields of data science: signal processing, machine learning, graph theory and optimization. Furthermore, he created two open source libraries for optimization (UNLocBoX) and graph signal processing (GSPBOX). In 2017, Nathanaël Perraudin joined the Swiss Data Science Center in the ETH Zurich team as a Research Data Scientist. He focused on different aspects of deep learning in the area of generative models (VAE and GAN), recursive architectures and convolutional neural network for irregular domains. Outside office hours, he is passionate in tango dancing, tandem bike touring, skiing and rock climbing.

What you see is what you classify: black box attributions

What you see is what you classify: black box attributions

The lack of transparency of black-box models is a fundamental problem in modern Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning. This work focuses on how to unbox deep learning models for image classification problems.

Deepsphere | A neural network architecture for spherical data

Deepsphere | A neural network architecture for spherical data

Not all datasets are images and we need architectures that adapt to other types of data, encoding both domain specific knowledge and data specific characteristics. For instance, at the SDSC, we deal with spherical data, i.e. curved images on a sphere, but without clear borders and arbitrary orientation.
