Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolYannis Kalantidis is a Principal Scientist specializing in computer vision and visual representation learning with a decade of experience spanning industry research labs in Europe and California. He leads projects on universal and adaptive visual representations at NAVER LABS Europe after prior research scientist roles at Facebook AI and Yahoo Research focused on video understanding, web-scale image search, and unsupervised feature learning. His PhD work and long-standing collaborations (including Visual Genome) underpin a strong track record in large-scale retrieval, deduplication, and multimodal embeddings. Comfortable bridging deep research and engineering, he has repeatedly moved ideas from web-scale experimental systems toward practical search and recommendation deployments. Based in Barcelona, he maintains an academic-facing presence through publications and a personal website that chronicles his evolving work. An uncommon strength is his repeated success applying unsupervised and scalable methods to real-world industrial search problems.
