Bio
Michal is a junior scientist in
SequeL team at
Inria Lille - Nord Europe, France,
lead by
Philippe Preux and
Rémi Munos.
He also teaches the course Graphs in Machine Learning at
l'ENS Paris-Saclay.
Michal is primarily interested in designing algorithms
that would require as
little human supervision as possible.
This means 1) reducing the “intelligence” that humans need to input
into the system and 2) minimising the data that humans need spend inspecting, classifying, or
“tuning” the algorithms.
Another important feature of machine learning algorithms should be the ability to
adapt to changing environments.
That is why he is working in domains that are able to deal
with
minimal feedback, such as
bandit algorithms,
semi-supervised learning,
and
anomaly detection. Most recently he has worked on sequential algorithms with structured
decisions where
exploiting the structure can lead to
provably faster learning.
In the past the common thread of Michal's work has been adaptive graph-based learning and its application to the real world applications such as recommender systems, medical error detection, and face recognition.
His industrial collaborators include Adobe, Intel, Technicolor, and Microsoft Research. He received his PhD in 2011 from University of Pittsburgh under the supervision of
Miloš Hauskrecht
and after was a postdoc of
Rémi Munos.
