This is tomorrow, Thursday July 25, at 11:30am, poster 1009!

Glad to announce that my first paper got accepted to #NeurIPS24 ! Yay! "Towards Efficient and Optimal Covariance-Adaptive Algorithms for Combinatorial Semi-Bandits" (arxiv.org/abs/2402.15171) 1/4

We are thrilled to say that NeurIPS@Paris is back for a 4th edition on the 4th and 5th of December 2024 at Sorbonne Université. A great occasion to meet + discuss recent advances in ML in central Paris! More info: neuripsinparis.github.io/neurips2024par… Registration: forms.gle/Fc4nbeW6ubahYb…

Our paper on Functional Bilevel Optimization (FBO) is accepted as a spotlight at #NeurIPS2024! TLDR: FBO shifts focus from parameters to the prediction function they represent, offering new algorithms that bridge bilevel optimization and deep learning. arxiv.org/abs/2403.20233

Mental map of Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithms, and analogous machine learning (ML) algorithms [dashed = especially loose analogy]. Grey boxes are basic tools, and each arrow is annotated with the "delta" between algorithms.
