Olivier Ruas

PhD. at Université de Rennes 1, under the supervision of François Taïani and Anne-Marie Kermarrec.

Research interests:

• Machine Learning
• Data Analysis
• Recommender Systems
• Distributed Computing
• Large-Scale Systems

The focus of my thesis was to speed-up ML techniques, relying on systems optimizations. The manuscript is available here.

During my PhD, I did a 2 month internship at EPFL with Rachid Guerraoui, to work on Quantized Neural Networks.
