馃憢 Hi, I’m Julien Pourcel, a PhD student at INRIA Bordeaux (FLOWERS team
) supervised by Pierre-Yves Oudeyer
, working on LLM for code. Previously, I earned my Master’s degree from ENS Paris-Saclay, graduating with highest honors. I also did internships at UC Berkeley and LEAD-CNRS.
I am passionate about the intersection of AI and programming, particularly in the context of large language models (LLMs) and their applications in Program synthesis and reasoning.
Research Interests
My research interests include:
- intrinsic motivation (
autotelic agents
) - LLM
- Code generation / Program synthesis
- Reinforcement learning
- self-improving agent
