Summary
Valentin De Bortoli is a research scientist specializing in stochastic methods for generative modelling, currently at Google DeepMind and on leave from CNRS (ENS Ulm, Paris). With nine years of experience spanning a PhD and postdoc at leading institutions including Oxford, he blends rigorous theoretical work with practical deep learning research for data generation. His background in high-level mathematics (Agrégation, top rankings) and a strong MVA training informs precise probabilistic formulations and sampling techniques. Valentin’s work bridges statistics and machine learning, focusing on both provable properties and scalable algorithms—an approach reflected in publications tracked on his Google Scholar and personal site. He often explores non-local image statistics and sampling ideas that transfer from theory to modern generative models.
