Pere-lluís Cabot is a multilingual NLP researcher and software engineer with eight years of experience, currently a postdoctoral researcher at Meta FAIR specializing in multilingual representations and modeling. He completed a PhD in Artificial Intelligence at Sapienza after a cum laude MSc in AI from the University of Amsterdam and a double degree in Physics and Mathematics, blending strong theoretical foundations with practical ML engineering. His work spans academic publications (including EMNLP) and industry projects, from building QA systems with BERT/XLNet to contributing ML evaluation metrics and PyTorch examples to the widely used LIT interpretability tool. He has experience deploying transformer-based multi-task models for tasks like populist rhetoric analysis and has a track record of making research tools more robust and framework-agnostic. Based in Paris, he combines rigorous research, hands-on code contributions, and interdisciplinary collaborations across psychology and EU-funded projects.

Contributions summary:Pere-lluís primarily contributed to the development and modification of machine learning model evaluation metrics within the LIT framework. They fixed a bug related to edge cases when evaluating regression metrics with limited data samples, ensuring the system's robustness. Additionally, the user added a PyTorch example to the repository, demonstrating the integration of a custom PyTorch model with the LIT interface, expanding the framework's support for different machine learning backends and providing examples for users. Furthermore, style guide adaptations and import removal was addressed.
