AI and data science

Marie Elyse Bassil

MSc student in Artificial Intelligence, Pavia and Milan

I work on machine learning for healthcare and for commerce, and I like checking what a model has actually learned before trusting it. Before my master’s I spent ten months as a Data & AI intern at Accenture, and since 2020 I’ve run my own online brands.
