Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSylvain Le Groux is a Scientific Advisor and seasoned ML engineer with 13 years of experience building production-grade speech, conversational AI, and music-tech systems that have reached millions of users. He blends deep academic training in cognitive science, affective science and music with hands-on expertise in ASR/TTS, real‑time voice agents, and audio DSP, driving measurable gains such as large WER reductions and improved source separation SDR. A pragmatic engineer and leader, he has led cross-functional teams and shipped cloud-native, low-latency systems (Kubernetes, PyTorch, Airflow, Wandb) while inventing novel algorithms like a 100x faster stem alignment and patent‑winning speech features at Cisco. Equally at home in research and product, he translates multidisciplinary insights—psychophysiology to music composition—into deployable ML pipelines and scalable inference. Based in Santa Monica, he thrives on pushing human–AI interaction forward, particularly where speech and music intersect.
