How the Roles Differ
The site draws a distinction worth noting: for skrub and Nilearn he describes himself as one of the maintainers, implying shared stewardship of established projects. For NeuroQuery, pubget, and labelbuddy, he states that he developed and maintains them, which points to original authorship alongside ongoing upkeep.
Machine learning and neuroimaging
His stated focus is open-source software for machine learning, with skrub named as the main project. Nilearn and NeuroQuery sit at the intersection of machine learning and neuroimaging, and NeuroQuery is the one project where the site credits co-developers by name.
Text and annotation tooling
pubget and labelbuddy are listed without further description on the page, so the site itself does not specify their scope beyond his role in creating and maintaining them.
Where to Verify Details
The page lists a contact address ([email protected]), a GitHub account, a publications section, and an OpenPGP public key with fingerprint for secure contact. For current project status, releases, or contribution guidelines, the GitHub account linked from the site is the authoritative entry point, since the personal page only summarizes his roles.
