Expertise
Distributed Machine Learning, Robustness, Safety, Optimization, Multi-Agent, Bandits in Graphs
I am a postdoctoral researcher at école Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne since 2022, where I work with Rachid Guerraoui on robustness of distributed machine learning algorithms. From 2018 to 2022, I completed my Ph.D. in computer science at Université Paris Dauphine-PSL on multi-agent bandits in graphs under the supervision of Yann Chevaleyre, Rida Laraki, Igor Colin, and Albert Thomas.Pre-prints Overcoming the Challenges of Batch Normalization in Federated LearningR Guerraoui, R Pinot, G Rizk, J Stephan, F Taiani & Preprint, Under review (2024)Boosting Robustness by Clipping Gradients in Distributed LearningY Allouah, R Guerraoui, N Gupta, A Jellouli, G Rizk, J Stephan & Preprint, Under review (2024)Publications Byzantine-Robust Federated Learning: Impact of Client Subsampling and Local UpdatesY Allouah, S Farhadkhani, R Guerraoui, N Gupta, R Pinot, G Rizk, S Voitovych & ICML (2024)Robust Distributed Learning: Tight Error Bounds and Breakdown Point under Data HeterogeneityY Allouah, R Guerraoui, N Gupta, R Pinot, G.
