Biography

I am a second-year Master’s student at École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne, School of Computer and Communication Sciences, working in the Machine Learning and Optimization Laboratory. I received my BSc from Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology under the supervision of Aleksandr Beznosikov, during that time I was a part of the MIPT-Yandex Fundamental Research team. My research interests include Large-Scale Optimization, Natural Language Processing and applications of Stochastic Optimization in Deep Learning. During my school years, I participated in several International Olympiads in astronomy, physics and astrophysics.

Name: Besides “Andrii Semenov”, I sometimes use another spelling “Andrei Semenov”. Both are fine.
