Badr-Eddine Chérief-Abdellatif is a CNRS Researcher at Sorbonne Université , affiliated with the Laboratoire de Probabilités, Statistique et Modélisation (LPSM) . His research spans mathematical statistics and machine learning theory , focusing on generalized Bayesian inference , robustness , and variational inference . He previously held a postdoctoral position at the University of Oxford and earned his PhD in 2020 from Institut Polytechnique de Paris under Pierre Alquier. His work addresses robust statistical methods using Maximum Mean Discrepancy (MMD) , PAC-Bayesian theory , and kernel techniques . Recent publications explore meta-learning , VAE reconstruction guarantees , and missing data analysis . He received the Best Student Paper Award at AISTATS 2022 and a Best Paper Award at ACML 2019. Chérief-Abdellatif contributes to online learning , copula estimation , and sparse deep learning . His theoretical results on variational inference have been published in top venues like NeurIPS , JASA , and JMLR . He also co-invented a patent for proportions determination in biological ensembles (2024).
