Sebastian Cygert

I'm a postdoctoral researcher at IDEAS NCBR in Warsaw (Poland) and Assistant Professor at Gdańsk University of Technology (20%). At IDEAS NCBR I am a member of Continual Learning team within the Computer Vision group.

Before joining IDEAS I've worked in Amazon working on the Amazon Scout project (Tubingen, Germany) and Alexa Text-to-speech (Gdańsk, Poland). Before that I have worked at Machine Learning start-ups and have enjoyed the London FinTech scene. I have done my PhD at Gdańsk University of Technology and Masters at Warsaw University of Technology.

Research

I'm interested in computer vision, deep learning and generative AI.
Most of the deep learning is about learning "good" representations. My research is about finding ways 1) to obtain robust representations, 2) to adapt them continually (e.g., after initial deployment) and 3) to share them across different models.

I am also interested in computational efficiency of ML models and physical simulations. Back in the old days I was doing low-level CUDA programing (e.g., for relative hydrodynamics simulations).

I am always looking for the motivated students, you can contact me by email.
