Background
  • Pascal Mettes is a tenured Assistant Professor at the University of Amsterdam. The mission of him and his team is to advance the field of hyperbolic deep learning. Currently, deep learning is centred around Euclidean geometry, which has critical blindspots, especially in handling hierarchies. Their research focuses on developing theories and algorithms to perform deep learning in hyperbolic geometry, the natural geometry of hierarchies.
