His career began at the Fraunhofer Institute, where he designed advanced video codecs, and Nagravision, where he developed video streaming security modules. Transitioning to video understanding, Miquel joined Disney to architect the enterprise content metadata platform, leading machine learning initiatives across Pixar, Marvel, Lucasfilm, ABC, and ESPN. He then moved to YouTube, driving search monetization before expanding his focus to lead monetization for the platform's Home and Watch Next surfaces. Before joining Studio Jadu, he worked at Hugging Face on video multimodal large language models and founded Arbro AI to build automated farming solutions.\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eNoyan, Merve:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Merve Noyan is a machine learning engineer working in the ML advocacy engineering team at Hugging Face. She builds tools to enable people to build with vision language models across the Hugging Face ecosystem (transformers, TRL, smolagents). Previously she worked for different companies building natural language understanding based solutions on information retrieval and conversational agents.\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eZohar, Orr:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Orr Zohar is a PhD candidate in SVL at Stanford University, advised by Professor Serena Yeung-Levy and supported by the Knight-Hennessy Scholarship. His research centers on large multimodal models, particularly in video understanding, with a focus on self-training methodologies and agentic design. Orr has co-developed innovative approaches such as Video-STaR, a self-training method for video instruction tuning, and VideoAgent, an agent-based framework for long-form video comprehension. Notably, he led the Apollo project, a comprehensive study exploring video understanding in large multimodal models, resulting in the creation of the Apollo family of models that set new benchmarks in the field.\u003cbr\u003eEt al...\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Merve Noyan \/ Paperback \/ English","offer_id":48840906145949,"sku":"9798341624047","price":95.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/files\/img_e4d1221d-5c57-4cd6-b8ee-bb467ba05cb7.jpg?v=1787728181","url":"https:\/\/booksdeli.com\/products\/vision-language-models-building-vlms-with-hugging-face-9798341624047","provider":"booksdeli.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
