Microblog & Links

Just vibecoded a simple microblog editor that takes advantage of GitHub OAuth and Netlify functions to post to my static site.

I finally switched this website from my custom hacky Rust static site generator to hugo using amp. Also, I deploy it automatically from GitHub to Netlify like a normal human being in 2026.

My writings are on /w and I created also a “microblog”-style at /m. I imported some my news / changelog to to this /m section

I will be in San Diego for NeurIPS (December 2-6).

Léo Davy defended his PhD thesis (supervisors: Nelly Pustelnik and Patrice Abry) that I had the pleasure to review. Congrats!

I gave a talk at the Séminaire Math-IA in Bordeaux on Geometrical and computational complexity of bilevel optimization.

I am the CIRM this week for the (Blind) inverse problems in imaging: from foundations to applications workshop organized by Luca, Emmanuel and Pierre.

Starting today, I am officially promoted Directeur de recherche at CNRS.

Tùng Nguyễn Thanh just started his PhD with Yassine Laguel and myself.

I am in Berkeley this week for the Graph Learning Meets Theoretical Computer Science workshop at the Simons Institute for the Theory of Computing.

I am visiting Nicolas Keriven in Rennes this week.

Sophie Jaffard defended his PhD thesis on Spiking neural networks : learning as point processes. Congrats to her! It was a pleasure to supervise her with Patricia Reynaud-Bouret.

I present at Café calcul from Groupe Calcul. I introduce automatic differentiation: from the chain rule and Jacobians to forward and reverse modes (backprop) via computational graphs, showing simple implementations, semantic interpretations, and a glimpse of theory for iterative algorithms.

I gave a talk at the joint seminar between the Probability and Statistics team of the LJAD and the Inria MASAAI team on some advances on nonconvex bilevel optimization.

I gave a talk at MaLGa in Genoa, hosted by L. Calatroni.

Our paper Geometric and computational hardness of bilevel programming has been accepted to Math. Prog!

I give a talk at GDR IASIS day on bilevel optimization in Lyon.

I was in Oberwolfach for the Mathematical Imaging and Surface Processing workshop. The report is available.

I gave a 5-hours introduction to language models at the Winter school Dijon-Besaçon.

We organized MIA 2025 Conference in Paris.

We organized the ICSDS 2024 Conference in Nice.
