Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolHéctor Laria is a postdoctoral researcher in computer vision with 12 years of experience spanning academia and applied ML research, currently based at the Computer Vision Center in Barcelona. He completed a PhD in Computer Vision and Deep Learning after an MSc (with honours) in Machine Learning, Data Science and AI from Aalto University, and has contributed to projects in video-to-text, room acoustics modelling, and representation learning. His work blends deep learning, generative models and NLP with evolutionary computation and reinforcement-learning–informed loss design, reflecting both theoretical depth and practical system-building. Héctor has a track record of leading international collaborations, developing dataset platforms and pushing state-of-the-art models for audiovisual understanding. Notably, his background combines signal-level modelling (room acoustics) with high-level multimodal description generation, giving him a rare cross-modal perspective on perception problems.
