Oussama Zekri
I am currently a last year Student Researcher at ENS Paris-Saclay, in the mathematics department, and an intern at Imperial College London.
Prior to that, I was an intern in the GTSBrain team at Huawei, under the supervision of Dr. Ievgen Redko. During this internship, I first authored two papers : Large Language Models as Markov Chains and this Worskhop paper !
I was also an intern at System Optimization Laboratory at Kyoto University, working on convex optimization, with Dr. Ellen H. Fukuda, Dr. Bruno F. Lourenço and Dr. Tianxiang Liu. The paper related to this work is currently being submitted.
I was also an intern at Centre Borelli at ENS Paris-Saclay, working on time series and optimal transport, with Pr. Laurent Oudre and Dr. Thibaut Germain.
I am interested in applied mathematics and their interactions with machine learning. At the moment, I'm particularly interested in the mathematics of generative models. I also like to transmit my knowledge (see this page, for example).
I also maintain a research blog, called logB, with my friend Ambroise Odonnat!
