Davide Scassola

I’m an applied scientist with a PhD in AI and a background in computer science, mathematics, and statistics. My research focused mainly on generative models, in particular I published articles on generative models for tabular and relational data at top-tier venues. I’m also interested in Bayesian methods, causality and probabilistic machine learning in general. My industry experience spans software engineering, probabilistic modeling, and research.
