Alexandre is a Research Scientist at ServiceNow Research. His main interests revolve around LLM agents for solving UI tasks. Other interests involve causality, probabilistic machine learning, meta-learning and more. In his free time, he explores how AI can help solve climate change issues.
Alexandre joined Element AI in early 2017 as its first Research Scientist. Prior to Element AI, he worked for 3 years at Google in the Research Group for building end-to-end question-answering systems using deep learning. This system is currently in use by Google’s search engine to answer some of the most complex questions.
He obtained his PhD in theoretical machine learning, working with Mario Marchand and Francois Laviolette, during which he developed bridges between Bayes and PAC-Bayes theories. He obtained his Master’s degree with Douglas Eck in the former MILA where he applied machine learning to music. Finally, he studied Physics during his undergrad.
