About me
I am a researcher (Chargé de recherche) in Inria Lyon, in the OCKHAM (ex-DANTE) team led by Rémi Gribonval, working in optimization for Machine Learning.
From January 2020 to October 2021, I was a post-doc at University of Genova, where I worked with Lorenzo Rosasco and Silvia Villa to develop new algorithms for implicit regularization. I hold a PhD from Télécom Paris and Inria Saclay (Parietal Team), under the supervision of Joseph Salmon and Alexandre Gramfort. In my PhD, I improved the efficiency of brain signals reconstruction algorithms (more details here), which involves optimization, sparsity and high dimensional statistics.
I have a keen interest in the Python programming language: I am the lead developer
of celer (fastest Lasso solver) and skglm (fast and flexible sklearn GLMs). I am also a core developer of benchopt, a benchmarking framework that makes optimization benchmarks easy, transparent and reproducible.
To foster scientific reproducibility, my papers usually come with Python packages to reproduce my experiments and make my code available to the community (e.g. Anderson acceleration for coordinate descent or Iterative regularization for convex regularizers)
I am an associate editor for Computo, a journal promoting reproducibility through a novel publication format, and for TMLR.
You can find more details on my résumé
(French (01/2021)/English (02/2024)) and my
list of publications.
I co-organize the Machine Learning and Signal Processing seminar at ENS Lyon, send me a message if you want to present your work there!

News
We organize the SMAI MODE days in Lyon, from march 27th to march 29th. A minicourse on optimal transport by Gabriel Peyré and Yann Brenier will be held at ENS de Lyon on the 25th and 26th.
With Titouan Vayer and the help of GDR MIA we organized a thematic day on dimension reduction at ENS Lyon. The final planning is available here.
Slides for my presentation at Inria Comité des Equipes Projets
Our paper on Coordinate descent for SLOPE was accepted to AISTATS’23! Slides of the paper presented at the Statistical Learning Seminar
2 papers accepted at Neurips’22, on benchopt and skglm.
I gave a course on convex optimization at the Computation and Modelling school in Wrocław; resources are on my teaching page.
celer 0.7 is released, with a fast ElasticNet solver thanks to Badr Moufad!
We have integrated skglm into scikit-learn, providing a customizable and accelerated solver for sparse GLMs in python.
Slides for my talk at ML-MTP (Montpellier)
Our two papers on Iterative regularization for convex regularizers (w. C. Molinari, L. Rosasco and S. Villa) and Anderson acceleration of coordinate descent (w. Q. Bertrand) got accepted to AISTATS 2021.
Slides for my presentation Efficient approaches to regularized inverse problems in the DANTE team (Lyon)
celer 0.6 is released: along with the fast sklearn Group Lasso solver, the Lasso class now supports weights in the penalty, paving the way for an efficient Adaptive Lasso (iterative reweighted L1) which should be released in version 0.7.
