Christian Gagné
About
Christian Gagné is a Canada CIFAR AI Chair at Mila and a full professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering and the director of Institute Intelligence and Data (IDD) at Université Laval.
Gagné’s research interests include method development for machine learning and stochastic optimization. In particular, he is interested in deep neural networks, learning and transfer of representations, meta-learning as well as multitask learning. He is also interested in optimization approaches based on probabilistic models as well as evolutionary algorithms, involving, for example, black box optimization, and automatic programming.
