About
Ioannis Mitliagkas is a Canada CIFAR AI Chair at Mila and an assistant professor in the Department of Computer Science and Operations Research (DIRO) at Université de Montréal.
Mitliagkas’ research focuses on broad-scale statistical learning and inference problems, focusing on efficient broad-scale and distributed algorithms, and the tight theoretical and data-dependent guarantees and tuning complex systems. His recent work includes understanding and optimizing the scanning used in Gibbs sampling for inference, as well as understanding the interaction between optimization and the dynamics of large-scale learning systems.
