Louis Lacombe is a Paris-based Data Scientist with five years of experience applying rigorous statistical methods and machine learning to real-world problems, currently contributing at Quantmetry. He specializes in uncertainty quantification and conformal prediction, evidenced by active contributions to the scikit-learn-contrib MAPIE project to improve prediction-interval and CQR functionality. Trained at Bocconi and Erasmus with exchange experience at Mannheim and LSE, he blends strong econometrics foundations with applied data science practice. Louis has moved smoothly between industry internships and production roles (Stellantis, Danone) and brings a practical mindset from early tutoring and operations work that helps translate complex models into usable business insights. Notably, his open-source work focuses on testing and implementing core library capabilities, reflecting a developer-oriented approach to trustworthy ML.

Contributions summary:Louis appears to be contributing to a machine learning library designed for estimating prediction intervals using conformal prediction techniques. Their initial commit installs a library for Conformalized Quantile Regression (CQR), and further commits involve adding or modifying code related to quantile regression and testing, specifically within the context of the "mapie/mapie" library for prediction interval estimation. The user's focus is on testing and implementing functionalities related to CQR, which indicates contributions to improving the core capabilities of the prediction intervals.
