Hello, I'm
Darwin Saire
I am a Machine Learning Engineer, Data Scientist, and NLP Developer;
Ph.D. at Recod.ai laboratory in the Institute of Computer (IC)
at the University of Campinas (UNICAMP), Brazil.
In my years of research, I improved my knowledge of machine learning and deep learning by collecting, cleaning, and interpreting data.
My skills include but are not limited to good reasoning, adaptability, responsibility,
hard work, good relationships, good capacity for abstraction and problem-solving.
Furthermore, I have experience with the different required frameworks (e.g., PyTorch, TensorFlow).
As part of my professional experience, I am working modeling, training, and interpreting the results of NLP models for SiDi - Samsung, located in Campinas - Brazil, developing the Bixby application for mobile, TVs, watches, and fridge devices.
About Me
I'm Darwin Saire Pilco
I have always been deeply interested in statistics, analytics,
and mathematics, which led me to study data science.
I graduated with a bachelor's degree in Systems Engineering (Computer Science)
at the National University of San Agustin, Peru.
I followed this with a master's degree in Computer Science
at the University of Campinas, Brazil.
Currently, I am finishing my Ph.D. at the University of Campinas, Brazil,
and the University of Lorraine, France.
My research focused on semantic segmentation tasks and discovered a learning representation
(i.e., context embedding) with a helpful structure and behavior to address the loss of spatial
precision problem present in popular deep learning models.
Specifically, I model the latent space (i.e., give a structure) through Gaussian mixing,
providing a clustering behavior to the features,
which positively impacts the final result of the semantic segmentation.

Code
NLP Emoji Generation
The emoji project will help you make your text messages more expressive. So rather than writing “Congratulations on the promotion! Let’s get coffee and talk. Love you!” the emojifier can automatically turn this into “Congratulations on the promotion!. 👍 Let’s get coffee and talk. ☕️ Love you! ❤️”
Code
Jazz Music Generation
A sequence model (LTSM) can be used to generate musical values, which are then post-processed into midi music.
Code
Generate New Dinosaur Names
We have collected a list of all the dinosaur names to create new dinosaur names. We will build a character-level language model to generate new names. Our algorithm will learn the different name patterns and randomly generate new names.
Code
Neural Style Transfer
Neural Style Transfer (NST) is one of the most fun techniques in deep learning. As seen below, it merges two images, namely, a “content” image (C) and a “style” image (S), to create a “generated” image (G). The generated image G combines the “content” of the image C with the “style” of image S.
Code
Face Recognition
Face Verification - “is this the claimed person?” and Face Recognition - “who is this person?”. By comparing two such vectors, you can then determine if two pictures are of the same person using triplet loss function.
