Obtaining such guarantees is often difficult and both time consuming and error-prone. Starting with the work of Drori and Teboulle (2014), novel techniques have been used to gain numerical insights, leading to the release of various performance estimation (PE) software. <br>\r\n<br>\r\nIn this talk, I will show how various computer-aided techniques can be used to study first-order optimization methods in a systematic way. From performance estimation problems with automated Lyapunov discovery, to symbolic regression and computer algebra systems, novel tools completely reshape the way we approach theory of optimization. <br>\r\nAs a main example, I will focus on error feedback methods used with compressed communication in distributed optimization. While error feedback has been widely studied, existing theory often provides untight (thus unreliable) bounds. I will present tight analyses with matching lower bounds that allow a fair comparison between error feedback schemes and standard compressed gradient descent, and help explain when error feedback is useful and when it is not.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nOverall, the talk aims to show how various computer-aided proofs can lead to clearer and more reliable insights into first-order optimization methods.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nBased on :<br>\r\n<a href=\"https://icml.cc/virtual/2026/poster/62713\" target=\"_blank\">A Tight Theory of Error Feedback Algorithms in Distributed Optimization,</a> DB Thomsen, A Taylor, A Dieuleveut<br>\r\nInternational Conference on Machine Learning (ICML 2026)<br>\r\n<a href=\"https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=view_citation&hl=fr&user=ge-OinUAAAAJ&sortby=pubdate&citation_for_view=ge-OinUAAAAJ:q3oQSFYPqjQC\" target=\"_blank\">Tight analyses of first-order methods with error feedback</a>, DB Thomsen, A Taylor, A Dieuleveut<br>\r\nAdvances in Neural Information Processing Systems (NeurIPS) (2025).<br>\r\n<a href=\"https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=view_citation&hl=fr&user=ge-OinUAAAAJ&sortby=pubdate&citation_for_view=ge-OinUAAAAJ:L8Ckcad2t8MC\" target=\"_blank\">PEPit: computer-assisted worst-case analyses of first-order optimization methods in Python</a><br>\r\nB Goujaud, C Moucer, F Glineur, JM Hendrickx, AB Taylor, A Dieuleveut<br>\r\nMathematical Programming Computation 16 (3), 337-367 (2024)<br>\r\n(eventually - as a detour) <a href=\"https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=view_citation&hl=fr&user=ge-OinUAAAAJ&sortby=pubdate&citation_for_view=ge-OinUAAAAJ:wbdj-CoPYUoC\" target=\"_blank\">Provable non-accelerations of the heavy-ball method</a> B Goujaud, A Taylor, A Dieuleveut, Mathematical Programming, 1-59 (2025)<br>\r\n </p>", "image_description": "", "creation_date": "2026-05-19T09:20:45", "last_modification_date": "2026-05-19T09:22:37", "link_label": "", "link_url": "https://www.epfl.ch/schools/sb/research/math/research/statistics/", "canceled": "False", "cancel_reason": "", "place_and_room": "CM 1 517", "url_place_and_room": "https://plan.epfl.ch/?room==CM%201%20517", "url_online_room": "", "spoken_languages": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/spoken_languages/2/?format=api" ], "speaker": "Aymeric Dieuleveut, Ecole Polytechnique, Institut Polytechnique de Paris", "organizer": "Myrto Limnios ", "contact": "Maroussia Schaffner", "is_internal": "False", "theme": "", "vulgarization": { "id": 2, "fr_label": "Public averti", "en_label": "Informed public" }, "registration": { "id": 3, "fr_label": "Entrée libre", "en_label": "Free" }, "keywords": "", "file": null, "icalendar_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/export/120800/", "category": { "id": 1, "code": "CONF", "fr_label": "Conférences - Séminaires", "en_label": "Conferences - Seminars", "activated": true }, "academic_calendar_category": null, "domains": [], "mementos": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/5/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/7/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/288/?format=api" ] }, { "id": 71892, "title": "Bacterial Immune Systems: From Molecular Mechanisms to Next-Generation Biotechnology", "slug": "bacterial-immune-systems-from-molecular-mechanisms", "event_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/bacterial-immune-systems-from-molecular-mechanisms", "visual_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33210/200x112.jpg", "visual_large_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33210/720x405.jpg", "visual_maxsize_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/image/33210/max-size.jpg", "lang": "en", "start_date": "2026-05-26", "end_date": "2026-05-26", "start_time": "12:15:00", "end_time": "13:15:00", "description": "<p>Immense evolutionary pressure has driven bacteria to innovate a diverse arsenal of immune systems that defend against parasitic mobile genetic elements, including bacteriophages and plasmids. The study of these systems has proven extraordinarily fruitful for biotechnology: CRISPR-Cas9, originally discovered as a bacterial defense mechanism, has revolutionized genome editing and demonstrated the transformative potential of mining bacterial immunity for molecular tools.<br>\r\nYet the diversity of bacterial defense extends far beyond CRISPR. Bacteria have evolved numerous strategies to recognize and destroy foreign DNA, many of which remain poorly understood at the mechanistic level. A central question is how these systems distinguish self from non-self — and how the underlying molecular logic of DNA targeting is encoded in protein structure and biochemistry. We combine cryo-electron microscopy, quantitative biochemistry, and in vivo genomics to characterize newly discovered defense systems and dissect their targeting mechanisms. This work is revealing unexpected principles of foreign DNA recognition, with implications both for our understanding of bacterial immunity and for the development of next-generation biotechnological tools for genome editing and beyond.</p>", "image_description": "Bravo", "creation_date": "2026-05-18T10:59:28", "last_modification_date": "2026-05-18T10:59:28", "link_label": "", "link_url": "", "canceled": "False", "cancel_reason": "", "place_and_room": "SV 1717", "url_place_and_room": "https://plan.epfl.ch/?room==SV%201717", "url_online_room": "", "spoken_languages": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/spoken_languages/2/?format=api" ], "speaker": "Jack Bravo, Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA)", "organizer": "Melanie Blokesch", "contact": "[email protected]", "is_internal": "False", "theme": "", "vulgarization": { "id": 2, "fr_label": "Public averti", "en_label": "Informed public" }, "registration": { "id": 3, "fr_label": "Entrée libre", "en_label": "Free" }, "keywords": "", "file": null, "icalendar_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/export/120785/", "category": { "id": 1, "code": "CONF", "fr_label": "Conférences - Séminaires", "en_label": "Conferences - Seminars", "activated": true }, "academic_calendar_category": null, "domains": [], "mementos": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/5/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/6/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/8/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/9/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/53/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/27/?format=api" ] } ] }
