François Chollet (French: [fʁɑ̃swa ʃoˈlɛ]; born 20 October 1989) is a French software engineer and artificial intelligence researcher currently working at Google. Chollet is the creator of the Keras deep-learning library, released in 2015, and a main contributor to the TensorFlow machine learning framework.[citation needed] His research focuses on computer vision, the application of machine learning to formal reasoning, abstraction,[2] and how to achieve greater generality in artificial intelligence.[3]

Education and career

In 2012, Chollet graduated with a Master of Engineering from ENSTA Paris, a school of the Polytechnic Institute of Paris.[4]

In 2015, Chollet started working at Google. His papers 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).[5]

Chollet is the author of Xception: Deep Learning with Depthwise Separable Convolutions,[6] which is among the top ten most cited papers in CVPR proceedings.[7]

Books

Chollet is the author of Deep Learning with Python,[8] the co-author with Joseph J. Allaire of Deep Learning With R, and the creator of the Abstraction and Reasoning Corpus (ARC) Challenge.[9]

Awards

On December 1, 2021, Chollet won the Global Swiss AI Award for breakthroughs in AI.[10][11]
