Summary
Carlos Lassance is a research-driven machine learning engineer with 10 years of experience bridging graph signal processing and deep learning to analyze and improve DNN latent representations. Currently a Member of Technical Staff at Cohere after research roles at NAVER LABS Europe and a PhD at IMT Atlantique, he has a strong track record in neural retrieval, sparse retrieval methods, robustness evaluation, graph-based compression and visual localization. His work spans academic publications and collaborations with Mila, USC and the University of Adelaide, and is implemented primarily in Python and PyTorch. Notably, he combines theoretical graph-based insights with practical system-building for IR and model compression, bringing research ideas into production-focused contexts. Based in Grenoble, he pairs international research experience with hands-on implementation and a knack for probing intermediate network representations to yield more efficient and robust models.
