Summary
Samy Haffoudhi is a PhD student in AI at Télécom Paris with eight years of hands-on experience bridging knowledge bases and large language models. His work in the DIG team focuses on knowledge-based language models, informed by prior roles as a research engineer and software engineer at Microsoft where he contributed to the AL compiler and VSCode tooling for Dynamics 365. He brings a multidisciplinary background from top European institutions (Institut Polytechnique de Paris, DTU, École centrale de Nantes) and applied research internships at Thales on deep metric and multitask learning for audio. Comfortable switching between research and production, he has practical experience in data science, tooling, and security operations, and often frames NLP challenges through graph and knowledge representations—a perspective that sets his research apart.
