Presentation of the thematic area
- Machine learning for data science is an essential field of study in artificial intelligence. It comes in different forms: unsupervised, semi-supervised, supervised by reinforcement. Although multiple algorithms, models and strategies are available today, many major challenges still remain, in many different domains.
- The researchers of the team focus on several issues related to learning including (Co)-clustering and dimensionality reduction (unsupervised/semi-supervised learning) as well as supervised classification. Our work is based on different approaches such as matrix factorization, mixture models, latent block models, spectral decomposition and deep learning. Our main objective is to propose innovative models and algorithms that are efficient and easily exploitable in practice. Thus, the methods we propose are dedicated to the processing of multi-source data of different natures with applications in various domains such as textual data analysis, automatic natural language processing, bioinformatics, collaborative filtering, mediation analysis and cyber security. In addition, we are interested in the medical field, developing new machine learning methods and user-friendly software that can integrate various types of omics data to identify the players in complex human diseases.
- The researchers of the group are also developing theoretical and applied research in the area of cyber security and resource management in cyber-physical systems in particular anomaly detection for wireless medical body sensor networks. The group's contributions are oriented towards the design, optimization and performance evaluation of new protocols, algorithms, tools and formal models. They allow, thus, to provide quality, and security of communications and data, in next generation health physics systems such as chronic disease detection (Ischemia, epilepsy, etc.).
