Pierre Chiche, PhD student

I am currently visiting Kenji Fukumizu’s lab at the Institute of Statistical Mathematics.

I am a PhD student in machine learning at the Centre for Computational Biology (CBIO) at Mines ParisTech under the supervision of Jean-Philippe Vert.

My research interests revolve around using algebraic methods to study and improve statistical models.
