PhD Student
IRISA-INRIA Rennes & Obelix
******I am looking for a PostDoc !******
Welcome to my personal website !
I am a final year PhD candidate under the supervision of Pr. Nicolas Courty and Pr. Rémi Flamary at IRISA-INRIA Panama and Obelix. My research focuses on optimal transport, machine learning and optimization with applications in large scale settings and noisy labels.
I graduated from both Ecole Polytechnique and ENSTA ParisTech in applied mathematics and machine learning. I was also an exchange student at UC Berkeley during the fall of 2018. For my final master internship, I was an intern at the University of British Columbia under the supervision of Pr. Mark Schmidt.
You can find my resume here.
My work focuses on optimization for machine learning and the interaction between optimal transport and machine learning.

Yet their algorithmic complexity prevents their direct use on large scale datasets. To overcome this challenge, practitioners compute these distances on minibatches i.e., they average the outcome of several smaller optimal transport problems. We propose in this paper an analysis of this practice, which effects are not well understood so far. We notably argue that it is equivalent to an implicit regularization of the original problem, with appealing properties such as unbiased estimators, gradients and a concentration bound around the expectation, but also with defects such as loss of distance property. Along with this theoretical analysis, we also conduct empirical experiments on gradient flows, GANs or color transfer that highlight the practical interest of this strategy.} }
