News
- * Just got back from GRETSI 2023 in beautiful Grenoble, France. Really interesting to attend this human-size signal-processing conference, and to see presentations outside of my usual topics of interest. Congrats to anyone that presented and to the organization team. I am still blown away by the amazing performance of the theater troupe Le Gravillon for their play "Point de Bascule" (social activity during the conference) !
- * Our article About the Cost of Central Privacy in Density Estimation just got accepted for publication in the journal Transactions on Machine Learning Research. Huge thanks to my coauthors Aurélien Garivier and Rémi Gribonval.
- * Just got back from ICML 2023 in beautiful Honolulu, HI, USA. On scientific and human points of view, it was amazing to meet so many passionate people. Congratulations to the researchers for the high level of the presentations and to the organization team.
- * I am glad to announce that I am a laureate of the 2023 "Agrégation Externe de Mathématiques" (as an independent candidate during my PhD).
- * Our article Private Quantiles Estimation in the Presence of Atoms just got accepted for publication in the journal Information and Inference. You will soon be able to read it with a new template and some important updates thanks to the help from the reviewers. Also, huge thanks to my coauthors Clément Gastaud and Nicolas Grislain from Sarus Technologies, Aurélien Garivier and Rémi Gribonval.
- * Our article/experiment report Sparsity in neural networks can improve their privacy just got accepted to the french XXIXème Colloque Francophone de Traitement du Signal et des Images (GRETSI 2023 Conference). Huge thanks to the reviewers for their suggestions. Also, huge thanks to my coauthors Antoine Gonon, Léon Zheng, Quoc-Tung Le, Guillaume Lauga and Can Pouliquen. We are curently working on a scaled and extended version of this article.
