I joined Facebook as a Research Scientist in March 2015. I received my PhD in Machine Learning from Université Pierre et Marie Curie, in Paris, in 2006. I was Associate Profesor there until 2012, when I joined Université de Technologie de Compiègne, in France, with a chair position from the “CNRS-Higher Education Chairs” program. My research interests are learning theory, learning to rank, and learning with multiples objectives.
Interests
Machine learning theory and algorithms, information retrieval, text analysis
