New paper out

I am happy to announce that new paper has just been published on arXiv. It is a project in collaboration with amazing guys. The paper introduces over personalization phenomenon which allows to remove completely the effect of data heterogeneity and always takes place.

Internship at IST Austria

Right now I am doing my internship at Institute of Science and Technology Austria. Here I am working at Distributed Algorithms and Systems group, IST Austria run by Prof. Dan Alistarh. I am working on theory of distributed SGD.

Recent news of the fall

I am happy to announce that our recent paper was accepted to NeurIPS workshop HOO 2022: Order up! The Benefits of Higher-Order Optimization in Machine Learning. Besides, new paper on adaptive compression for Federated Learning has been just published on arXiv.

Start of new academic year

I am starting my second year of Master at IP Paris. This year my Master program is based on Data Science program of Ecole Polytechnique.
