Montréal Machine Learning and Optimization | Montreal MLOpt
I am a research Scientist at Samsung SAIL Montreal, at Mila, headed by Simon Lacoste-Julien . I focus my research on optimization for machine learning, especially accelerated and adaptive methods. I work closely with researchers from Montreal and McGill Universities.
My main research interest is convex optimization (deterministic or stochastic) , but I am also interested in numerical analysis . Here is a non-exhaustive selection of topics:
I worked one year at Princeton University in the CS department with Elad Hazan and Sanjeev Arora . I collaborated with other researchers in ORFE ( Samy Jelassi and Thomas Pumir ), as well as with Nicolas Boumal from the PACM. I worked on multisecant Quasi-Newton methods and stochastic algorithms for game theory.
