As part of my master thesis, I have joined Cisco as a research intern. I will work on domain-specific language models for in-domain text classification and information retrieval.

Fast forward to 6 months later, I can do no other than confirm that Cisco is indeed an incredible place to work. There is a perpetual atmosphere of sympathy and mutual aid there, regardless of your age, your title or the difficult conditions we may encounter such as this pandemic.

I am very grateful to have had this opportunity and I would like to give a special thanks to my advisor Hugues De Pra for making me feel like an integral part of his team from day one.
