MILES represented at ICML 2021

Three papers from MILES researchers have been accepted to the 2021 International Conference on Machine Learning (ICML), one of the most prestigious venues for data science:

In addition, Clément Royer will be a featured speaker at the ICML 2021 workshop Beyond first-order methods in ML systems.

Last but certainly not least, Alexandre Vérine will present the paper On the expressivity of bi-Lipschitz normalizing flows (a full MILES collaborative effort together with Benjamin Negrevergne, Fabrice Rossi and Yann Chevaleyre) at the ICML 2021 workshop Invertible Neural Networks, Normalizing Flows, and Explicit Likelihood Models.

 

Feel free to contact MILES researchers to catch them during ICML!

Young Researcher Prize for Rafael Pinot

Rafael Pinot is a recipient of the 2021 Prix Jeune Chercheur (Young Researcher Prize) from the Dauphine Foundation. This prize is awarded every year to the top PhD graduates in Dauphine (see here for a formal description in French).

Rafael defended his PhD thesis on December 12, 2020. He was co-supervised by Jamal Atif and Florian Yger at MILES, as well as Cédric Gouy-Pailler at CEA-LIST. Rafael is now a postdoctoral researcher at École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, but we are happy to welcome him back on June 28 as he visits Dauphine to receive his prize. Congratulations!
