ABOUT ME

I am a Research Scientist working on Computational Linguistics at Facebook AI
Research. Previously, I completed a PhD in Computational Linguistics at the
University of Cambridge Computer Laboratory, supervised by Stephen Clark.

My research area is Machine Learning applied to Natural Language Processing. My
research interests include the applications of NLP to low-resource languages,
language modelling, the ethical and policy issues surrounding artificial
intelligence, and quantum computing.

My doctoral research was kindly funded by the EPSRC, and I am a St John’s
scholar.

When I am not working on language, I can usually be found hiking, sailing or
backcountry skiing somewhere around Northern Italy or California.

My name is pronounced [ˈʒɑ̃ maˈjaʁ], as in the character Jean Valjean in Victor
Hugo’s Les Misérables.
