Filippo Ghilotti

I work on pseudo-labeling and holistic scene understanding for autonomous driving, building scalable training pipelines that turn raw multimodal data into reliable supervision. My goal is to break the labeling bottleneck, driving down cost while improving quality, through deep learning and classical optimization.
