Galo Castillo-López

I am a doctoral researcher at Université Paris-Saclay, working at CEA under the supervision of Dr. Gaël de Chalendar and Dr. Nasredine Semmar. My research consists in modeling turn-taking management in spoken multi-party dialogue systems.

Previously, I interned at ALMAnaCH, the NLP group at Inria Paris, under the supervision of Dr. Djamé Seddah. We studied multi-lingual transfer scenarios using Transformers-based language models across Spanish variants for hate speech detection in social media. 

I also worked as a data scientist at Claro, the largest Latin American telecommunications company, developing supervised models for optimizing internal operations at the Finance, Customer Service, and Marketing departments. 

I obtained a master's degree in Artificial Intelligence at Université Paris-Saclay in France, and a bachelor's degree in Computer Science at Escuela Superior Politécnica del Litoral in Ecuador 🇪🇨.
