Two years ago, I joined @echOpen_, whose vision was to make ultrasound imaging accessible. 🎉 Today, our ultra-portable probe is finally available! 🎉 This huge milestone will also bring our AI project to another scale, and I'm so excited about the next steps of this journey!
🎉 C’est officiel… … echOpen dévoile enfin sa sonde d’échographie clinique ultraportable echOpen O1, à l’occasion de son marquage CE ! 🧪 echOpen O1 est disponible pour tous les professionnels de santé habilités à la pratique de l’échographie ➡️ echOpen.com

The full thesis is here : leonardblier.fr/files/thesis…… The first chapters corresponds to published papers, but the core parts corresponds to a complete rewriting of our preprints on the Successor States Operator and multi-goal RL, to make it easy to read 😀

Ultrasound imaging is an exciting modality in ML. Both powerful and challenging to analyse (work on noisy videos, ...). But thanks to echOpen's multidisciplinary team, and its partnerships with APHP, we can work every day with medical doctors to help us in these challenges.

We are looking for a current master student, for 4-6 months. We are seeking diverse profiles, and will pay special attention to any personal experiences or projects using deep learning (school/personal project, internships, ...). welcometothejungle.com/en/co…
Finally, my PhD is (almost) finished. In 2 weeks, I will be joining @echOpenfactory as Lead AI Research 🎉 @echOpenfactory developed an super-affordable ultrasound imaging system (echograph), soon to be on the market, dedicated to diagnosis orientation.

I will work with the team to develop AI tools, helping doctors to use the probe, read and interpret the ultrasound images. After years of fundamental research, my goal was to switch to product-applied research, apply AI in practice, and try to make it useful in real-world.

You have to fit, say, 29 squares into a bigger square. What arrangement is most efficient, i.e maximises the size of the squares? Turns out the optimal arrangements are amazing and I really hate them a lot
Replying to @KangarooPhysics
erich-friedman.github.io/pac… is another great source for optimal yet awkward packing solutions

I was told in my last talk that GPT-3 did not face the same issues as GPT-2. Tried a few queries... not quite there yet
