Yauhen Babakhin

Yauhen is a Senior Applied Research Scientist at NVIDIA, working on advancing the frontier of embedding and retrieval systems. Over the past years, he has worked across the spectrum of Deep Learning domains — from NLP to Computer Vision — building systems that move research into production at scale. As a Kaggle Grandmaster (ex-top 10 in a global ranking), he always enjoyed translating complex ML ideas into measurable impact. At NVIDIA, that means releasing state-of-the-art embedding models that power real-world RAG systems. He is also a lecturer at the Czech technical university in Prague, teaching the 'Practical Deep Learning' course for master’s students.
