Sylvain LAPEYRADE

Data Scientist & PhD Student

About

I am a Data Scientist in Toronto, Canada working at Shift Technology, a company that uses AI to detect fraud in insurance claims.

I am also finishing my PhD in Game Artificial Intelligence from Clermont Auvergne University in France. My research involves trying to improve Non-Player Characters decision making in games through logic programming and ontologies, using Prolog and the Unity game engine.
