Education and career
editIn 2012, Chollet graduated with a Diplôme d'Ingénieur (Master of Engineering) from ENSTA Paris, a school of the Polytechnic Institute of Paris.[4]
He did research at the University of Tokyo in 2012 where his team entered the ImageNet competition that was won by Geoffrey Hinton with his students Alex Krizhevsky and Ilya Sutskever, sparking his interest in deep learning.[5]
In 2015, Chollet started working at Google shortly after releasing Keras.
Books and publications
editChollet's research papers in artificial intelligence have been published at major conferences in the field, including the Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (CVPR), the Conference on Neural Information Processing Systems (NeurIPS), and the International Conference on Learning Representations (ICLR).[6]
Chollet is the author of Xception: Deep Learning with Depthwise Separable Convolutions,[7] which is among the top ten most cited papers in CVPR proceedings at more than 18,000 citations[8] and the creator of the Abstraction and Reasoning Corpus (ARC) Challenge.[9]
Chollet is the author of the book Deep Learning with Python[10] and the co-author with Joseph J. Allaire of Deep Learning With R.
Awards
editOn December 1, 2021, Chollet won the Global Swiss AI Award for breakthroughs in AI.[11][12]
