Gábor Balázs

I am a computer scientist developing software on the full stack of the machine learning pipeline, and sometimes trying to understand the theory behind some machine learning algorithms. Currently I am a freelancer in Spain, and I also work on some self-funded scientific projects.

I received my BSc and MSc at the Eötvös Lóránd University, and my PhD in Statistical Machine Learning at the University of Alberta under the supervision of Csaba Szepesvári and Dale Schuurmans. At the moment I live in Cartagena (Spain) with my wife Gema who is a writer and an illustrator.
