Description: 
University researcher with expertise in machine learning, computer vision, neural networks, deep learning, optimization, large-scale learning and statistical modeling in general. Nicolas received the 2018 Lagrange Prize with Francis Bach and Mark Schmidt. Nicolas seeks to understand how the interaction between noise and curvature affects the speed of convergence and generalization in stochastic optimization. He also wants to understand the dynamics of optimization in reinforcement learning, in particular around the gradient descent method. In recent years, he has been less interested in pure technical achievements and more in societal impact.

2023-02-23 16:13:35 @pcastr Given that I tend to be on the harsher side, this is not as bad as I thought but I clearly underestimated the impact it would have.

2023-02-23 16:12:52 @pcastr "This type of work is a valuable addition to the neural network community as it helps us understand which components of the standard models are critical in achieving good accuracy. Further, a publicly available toolbox can only increase the visibility of such methods." - 7/10

2023-02-23 16:08:09 @pcastr I was a reviewer for the AlexNet paper. After it got so much attention, I went back to my review to check whether I had correctly recognized its contribution.

2023-02-11 01:28:18 One of my fantastic colleagues was laid off yesterday as part of a reorg. Koustuv has been doing great work in FATE with a focus on well-being. In addition to his work, he showed constant generosity and was always ready to put himself behind a group effort. https://t.co/HeuSmbCKvB

2022-11-10 18:10:06 I just want to give a shoutout to @Abebab . I am always baffled by the quality of her research and the relevance of the topics she explores.I encourage you to follow her if you don't already (although I'm not sure this is necessary since she has far more followers than I do).
