Sébastien Bratières
Translated's director of AI
Sébastien is Translated's Director of Artificial Intelligence. After taking his Ingénieur degree in France at Ecole Centrale Paris, he worked in AI research at the University of Cambridge, UK, on an MPhil in natural language processing and speech recognition, and a PhD in statistical machine learning. During his PhD he created a novel Bayesian non-parametric model for structured output prediction, and received several awards and grants for his research. During his industry career, he developed AI products at several startups, creating Europe's first quadrilingual, consumer-grade, speech-driven telephony platform in 2002, inventing NLP technology for virtual conversational assistants and embedded speech applications for logistics and manufacturing. Sébastien joined Translated in 2017 to develop its machine learning operations, and oversees the company's applied research programme. Also in 2017, and together with Translated's CEO, co-founder and serial entrepreneur Marco Trombetti, Sébastien created Pi School of AI, an innovative, hands-on training programme, in which industry feeds excellent engineers with hard AI challenges to crack; after its 8th edition, it has delivered 72 projects, training 156 AI engineers. Sébastien contributes to the scientific community by reviewing for NeurIPS, ICML, and ICLR, the first-tier machine learning conferences.
