Description of the thesis topic
One PhD position is available under the supervision of Adrian Vladu, in the Algorithms & Complexity group of IRIF (https://www.irif.fr/en/equipes/algocomp/index) at Université Paris Cité in Paris.
The goal is to develop fast and practical solutions for fundamental algorithmic problems. This involves designing faster algorithms for classical problems in combinatorial optimization (involving graphs, matchings, submodular functions, matroids, etc), and developing new theory relevant to modern machine learning. The mathematical toolkit is based on modern techniques from continuous optimization, and interferes with other interesting theory from convex geometry, probability and numerical linear algebra.
