Thomas Hubert, a French mathematician, computer scientist, and senior research scientist at Google DeepMind, involved in the AlphaGo and AlphaZero projects mastering the games of Go, chess and Shogi. He holds a Ph.D. in applied mathematics from École Polytechnique under Stéphane Mallat, where his research  focused on the design of invariant image representations based on the scattering transforms. Applications include texture, and image classification.
