Leon Bottou
Léon Bottou (* 1965 in Saint-Germain-du-Teil ) is a French computer scientist .
Bottou went to school in La Canourge, Clermont-Ferrand and Versailles. From 1984 he studied at the École polytechnique with a diploma as an engineer in 1987, received a master's degree in mathematics and computer science from the École Normale Supérieure in 1988 and a DEA degree in computer science and received his doctorate in computer science from the University of Paris-Süd in 1991 . Then he was at the ATT Bell Laboratories in Holmdel in New Jersey in 1991/92, where he worked with Wladimir Wapnik on learning algorithms. In France he helped found the software company (Neuristique SA) and was its chairman. The company developed software for machine learning and data mining. From 1995 to 2002 he returned to ATT Bell Labs, where he and Yann LeCun developed image compression and text recognition software, including a system used by many banks to recognize handwriting. With LeCun and Patrick Haffner he was the main developer of DjVu and he maintains the open source implementation DjVuLibre.
From 2002 to 2010 he was with NEC Labs in Princeton. There he dealt with machine learning with big data (including the method of the stochastic gradient), online learning, stochastic optimization. He developed the open source software LaSVM for support vector machines .
From 2010 he was at Microsoft , where he became Principal Researcher in New York in 2012 . In 2015 he switched to AI research at Facebook (headed by LeCun).
He developed the programming language Lush and Graph Transducer Networks with Le Cun .
