Arthur Leroy

Researcher in Machine Learning and Statistics

INRAE

I currently hold a permanent position as an INRAE Researcher, affiliated with the units GABI and MIA Paris-Saclay. From May 2022 to September 2024, I was a Research Associate at The University of Manchester in Mauricio Álvarez’s group. I also worked on the same project at The University of Sheffield between September 2021 and April 2022. Prior to these positions, I was an ATER (Teaching and Research Assistant) and a PhD student at MAP5 - Université de Paris. I completed my PhD under the supervision of Servane Gey (MAP5), Pierre Latouche (MAP5) and Benjamin Guedj (Inria - UCL).

My current interests in statistics and machine learning involve:

  • Gaussian processes and probabilistic prediction in general,
  • Bayesian inference and variational methods,
  • Multi-task learning, Asynchronous time series and functional data,
  • Curve clustering and mixture models,
  • Longitudinal hierarchical models.

Besides, I work on several applications with collaborators in fields like epidemiology, genomics, proteomics and sport sciences, dealing with mathematical and algorithmic aspects of the studies. I am committed to contributing to open science in terms of publishing, code and data sharing, package and web app development.

Feel free to explore my papers or packages in more details. You can also find slides, teaching material or a list of students I supervised. If we have not had the occasion to meet at a community event yet, you can contact me as I’m pretty keen to talk about science and life in general 👋.
