I'm a final-year PhD student at Inria Paris in the ALMAnaCH team, working under the supervision of Rachel Bawden and Benoît Sagot on Machine Translation. My research focuses on improving the ability of LLMs to translate into low-resource languages. Before that, I did an Internship at Hugging Face in Paris, where I have worked on instruction following and code generation. I had the opportunity to contribute to StarCoder 1, Octocoder and StarCoder 2. I hold an Engineer's degree from Ecole Polytechnique (Promotion X2019) and a M.S. degree from ENS Paris-Saclay (MVA). I grew up in Cameroon, a country located in Central Africa.
Outside my research, I watch animes, movies and I think about a lot of stuff (including existential questions).
