My main interest is the development and the application of mathematical optimization techniques to enhance the performance, efficiency, and interpretability of models and algorithms. Optimization plays a crucial role in the of training machine learning models. The goal is to minimize an empirical error, which is an approximation of the true objective function, perturbed by stochastic noise. In modern applications, the problem is often high dimensional, and most successful optimization methods are based on simple iterative procedures, such as gradient descent or stochastic gradient descent. I am interested in many challenges related to the behavior of gradient based methods such as: convergence in the nonconvex setting, implicit regularization properties, scalable, adaptive, asynchronous and distributed implementations.Research GroupMaLGa is a joint research center between computer science and mathematics.
