Baptiste Caramiaux

Researcher in Human-Computer Interaction

baptiste-portrait-isir-2024.jpg

I am CNRS researcher (tenured, with HDR) at the Institute of Intelligent Systems and Robotics (ISIR), Sorbonne Université in Paris. I am a member of the HCI Sorbonne group.

I conduct interdisciplinary research at the intersection of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and Machine Learning (ML). My recent work has focused on interactive and collaborative machine learning with the general public, artists or domain experts, ML-assisted human learning; Human-IA trust, and the study of practices and politics of AI in the creative and cultural sectors.

Alongside my research activities, I have been a scientific expert for the European Commission on AI in the creative sectors. I am a contributing member of the Fronte Vaccuo collective and a laureate of Microsoft Research’s AI and Society program. I hold a PhD in computer music from IRCAM and a Habilitation to Direct Reseearch (HDR) from University Paris-Saclay in 2023.
