This is the second installment in the series of getting to know the DeepJudge team.
Meet Yannic Kilcher, our CTO. Like the other co-founders of DeepJudge, Yannic earned his PhD in an AI-related field from ETH Zürich and has experience working at Google. Despite these shared achievements, each team member brings unique and diverse backgrounds and interests to the table. Join us as we ask them some questions and learn more about the people behind DeepJudge.
I grew up in northwestern Switzerland. I became interested in AI during university studies because it expands the domain of problems we can solve with computers.
When I went to get my PhD I focused on robustness of deep neural networks, natural language processing, reinforcement learning, and generative models.
Our people are extremely competent and care a lot about their work. Together, we can tackle problems that nobody else even dares to touch.
The structure of the organizations prevents fast progress, but the individual people inside these organizations are surprisingly forward-thinking and open to new ideas. It has been super interesting to get to know them and help them move forward initiatives within their firms.
I would encourage leaders and law firms and law departments to continue to view technology as a method to enable your people to do their highest quality work, rather than as a cost item to be minimized.
Our mission is to help humans make sense out of large amounts of unstructured data. Making this data more readily available will make legal professionals much more substantive in their work and allow everyone to make more informed, more efficient, and more consistent decisions.
I make YouTube videos about AI research.
I can see in the dark quite well compared to other people.
