导师简介

I am Antoine Ledent, a tenure-track Assistant Professor in Computer Science at the School of Computing and Information Sciences (SCIS), Singapore Management University (SMU). Previously, I was a postdoctoral researcher at the department of computer science at TU Kaiserslautern in Prof. Dr. Marius Kloft's research group. I hold a Bachelor's and a Masters' degree in mathematics from Clare College, University of Cambridge. Previously, I worked on low-dimensional projections of high-dimensional stochastic differential equations at the University of Luxembourg (Mathematics Department), where I obtained my PhD in 2017.

I have broad interests in Machine Learning, mainly focusing on Statistical Learning Theory and Recommender Systems. I have provided generalization bounds for deep convolutional neural networks, advanced the state-of-the-art in the statistical theory of Inductive Matrix Completion, and proposed various theoretically-motivated algorithms. In addition, I have several application-oriented contributions in both recommender systems and computer vision.

招生简介
