I am an AI researcher and founder based between Paris and San Francisco, building systems that make AI more efficient, interpretable, and deployable at scale.

I currently lead DeepRecall, an AI-powered regulatory intelligence platform for marketplace enforcement, monitoring 120,000+ safety alerts across 8+ jurisdictions. I also created TRACER, an open-source system that replaces expensive LLM classification calls with lightweight ML surrogates (pip install tracer-llm).

Before founding DeepRecall, I was a PhD candidate at Sorbonne University within the Trustworthy and Responsible AI Lab (TRAIL), a joint lab between Sorbonne and AXA focused on trustworthy AI. My research on explainable AI and model dynamics produced the DeltaXplainer method for interpreting model differences over time, published at the DynXAI workshop of ECML-PKDD 2023.

I went through Entrepreneur First (LD22), where I co-founded a venture helping private equity deal teams screen investments faster using advanced RAG techniques (GraphRAG, Graph Neural Networks). I built three live prototypes showcased to 100+ PE funds within two months.

As Head of AI at Autoplay AI, I designed and built the company's AI inference and processing pipeline from scratch, analyzing user behavior signals (events, mouse activity, hesitation patterns) to detect cohorts struggling with product adoption.

Earlier, I held ML engineering and data science roles at Societe Generale, AXA, Qantev, and Rebellion Research, working on anomaly detection, portfolio optimization, claims automation, and complex systems modeling.

I hold a Master's in Applied Mathematics from CY Tech and completed the Ecole 42 coding program. Outside of work, I am passionate about aviation and working towards my Private Pilot License (PPL).

Areas of Interest:

  • - LLM Cost Optimization, Routing, and Learning to Defer
  • - Explainable AI (XAI), Concept Drift, and Model Dynamics
  • - Regulatory AI, Compliance Automation
  • - Outlier Detection and Unsupervised Learning
  • - RAG, Document Parsing, Knowledge Representation

Dynamic Interpretability for Model Comparison via Decision Rules (Accepted at the DynXAI workshop at ECML-PKDD 2023) (Sep 2023)
Adam Rida, Marie-Jeanne Lesot, Xavier Renard, Christophe Marsala
TL;DR: The DeltaXplainer paper introduces a method to explain differences between machine learning models in an understandable way. It uses interpretable surrogates to identify where models disagree in predictions. While effective for simple changes, it has limits in capturing complex differences. The paper explores its methodology, limitations, and potential for improving understanding in model comparisons.

Open Source Projects

TRACER Sankey Routing Diagram
TRACER: Trace-Based Adaptive Cost-Efficient Routing (Apr 2026) Stars
TL;DR: TRACER is an open-source Python package that replaces expensive LLM classification calls with lightweight ML surrogates. It learns from the LLM's own production traces (zero manual labeling), gates deployment with a parity check, and generates interpretability artifacts that explain the routing boundary. Achieves 90%+ traffic offload on intent classification benchmarks.

Temporal Augmented Retrieval (TAR) - Dynamic RAG (Dec 2023)
TL;DR: Temporal Augmented Retrieval (TAR) enhances traditional retrieval methods by considering time dynamics in textual data, crucial for understanding evolving topics. It detects emerging trends, aids in market trend anticipation, and uncovers cross-selling opportunities in client data. TAR's process involves query augmentation, meta-temporal data analysis, and context merging, aiming to provide insights into topic evolution. This project has been done in the context of buildspace's nights and weekends s4 program. [github] [blog post] [hugging face]
