About Peter Anderson

I\'m an AI Researcher specializing in multimodal machine learning. Most of my research has been at the intersection of Natural Language Processing and Computer Vision, developing large-scale generative models that produce language, images, and/or actions. During my career I have moved between the tech (Google, Microsoft) and finance industries (Balyasny, Credit Suisse, Goldman Sachs). My current role developing AI models for investing combines both these aspects of my career.I earned my PhD in Computer Science from the Australian National University​​. I have the distinction of being a two-time university medalist, in Finance from the University of Sydney and in Computer Engineering from the University of New South Wales​​.
