Anatoly Belikov is a research scientist and seasoned software engineer with 12 years of experience building cloud platforms, distributed systems, and ML tooling from Dubai. He currently contributes to SingularityNET and is an active open-source contributor to high-profile projects such as Hugging Face Diffusers—where he implemented masked image-to-image and inpainting pipelines for Stable Diffusion—and to the OpenCog Atomspace graph system, optimizing core hashing and graph handling. His background spans performance-focused backend engineering, benchmarking distributed filesystems, and test automation, reflecting a rare blend of research rigor and production-grade engineering. Holding advanced degrees in computer science and computer engineering from top Russian institutions, he pairs academic publication activity with hands-on system design. Colleagues describe him as the kind of engineer who moves fluid research ideas into robust, reproducible code and training pipelines.

The OpenCog (hyper-)graph database and graph rewriting system
Role in this project:
Back-end Developer
Contributions:146 commits, 35 PRs, 239 comments in 3 years
Contributions summary:Anatoly primarily focused on improving the Atomspace database and graph rewriting system. Their contributions included implementing a new hash function (FNV1a) for the `ScopeLink` class to optimize performance and correct handling of unordered links. The user also refactored code, moved hashing functions to a separate header file and improved the hashing algorithms by taking bigger chunks of data. They introduced improvements to the hash computation, by incorporating arity and interval maps for optimization.
🤗 Diffusers: State-of-the-art diffusion models for image, video, and audio generation in PyTorch and FLAX.

ML Engineer
Contributions:5 reviews, 12 PRs, 59 comments in 1 year 1 month
Contributions summary:Anatoly primarily contributed to the `diffusers` repository, focusing on implementing and adapting image inpainting and training functionalities within the context of Stable Diffusion models. Their work included creating a masked image-to-image pipeline for non-inpainting models, adapting the masked inpainting pipeline for SDXL, and incorporating loss logging features for training scripts. The user also addressed model training scripts, including handling LoRA scale and CLIP skipping in long prompt weighting pipelines, and modifying image processing behaviors.
