Who am I?
I obtained a Master's degree in Computer Science at the
University of Saint-Étienne in June 2007. Since October 2007, I am a PhD student. I am working on Integration of Knowledge in Similarity Learning.
My supervisors are
Marc Sebban and
Amaury Habrard.
I am working in the department of
Computer Science and Image Processing of the
Laboratory Hubert-Curien.
I am a member of the
PASCAL2 Network.
Research Activities
Main topics
Machine learning, statistics, learning from structured data (strings, trees)
Software plateform
SEDiL
SEDiL is a software platform created in the context of the ANR Marmota Project and the PASCAL pump-priming project: "Learning Stochastic Edit Distances from Structured Data". This platform aims at sharing many learning algorithms of probabilistic edit distances between structured data (sequences and trees).
Projects
Here are research projects I am involved in.
ANR MARMOTA (MAchine learning pRobabilistic MOdels Tree lAnguages)
In this project we are interested in:
- modelling generative models for structured data.
- modelling non-generative models for structured data.
- computing tree probabilistic transformation and probabilistic alignment.
In this project we are interested in:
- modelling images through strings, trees, and graphs.
- studying the capabilities of such salient point structuring to model and exploit thumbnail images.
- statistically characterising symbolic structured data.
In this project we are interested in:
- discovering (partial) domain knowledge and using it for knowledge discovery in post-genomic.
- designing generic methods to gather and mine heterogeneous data sources.
- providing KDD scenarios in molecular biology and WWW usage mining.
