Albert Pujol Torras

Albert Pujol Torras is the VP of Data Science at The Hotels Network. Albert has over three years of experience in the field and has previously worked as the Head of Analytics and Data Science at Anaxomics. In their previous role, Albert was responsible for leading a team of data scientists, computer engineers, and experts in biotechnology. Albert's team was responsible for determining the best strategies and technologies to generate value from client data, as well as designing and developing a multi-purpose Data Mining and Exploratory Data Analysis software architecture. This software was designed to be used by non-experts in statistics and was primarily used for clinical trial data analysis and high-throughput data biomarker detection.

The Data Science architecture that Albert and their team developed incorporates state of the art machine learning algorithms as well as new solutions for multi-class classification and regression problems. It includes processes such as missing value and data cleaning handling, feature selection, dimensionality reduction, multi-class feature selection combination, ensembles of feature selectors, multi-class decomposition algorithms, ensemble binary classifiers, and several binary base classifiers, as well as different validation protocols of the whole data mining process.

In addition to designing and developing the software architecture, Albert and their team also created a meta algorithm that given a data set would determine the optimal architecture configuration to apply, as well as the space of more promising configuration parameters to explore. This meta algorithm was trained using a huge set

Albert Pujol Torras has earned a PHD in Computer Vision from Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona and an Engineer degree in Computer Science from the same school. Albert also attended La Farga.

Albert Pujol Torras reports to Juanjo Rodriguez, Founder. They are on a team with Jordi Miró Bruix - CTO, Marc Andreu Blázquez Prunera - CFO, and Carrie Ell - Senior Director, Global Business Development.
