Decision-making tools for healthcare structures in times of pandemic

The COVID-19 sanitary crisis has shed an unprecedented light on the role of modellers, mathematicians, computer scientists and data scientists in the monitoring and in the understanding of the dynamics of an epidemic. The general audience became…

The Inherent Coupling of Intrinsically Disordered Regions in the Multidomain Receptor Tyrosine Kinase KIT

RTK KIT regulates a variety of crucial cellular processes via its cytoplasmic domain (CD), which is composed of the tyrosine kinase domain, crowned by the highly flexible domains-the juxtamembrane region, kinase insertion domain, and C-tail, which…

Weighting Schemes for One-Shot Federated Learning

This paper focuses on one-shot aggregation of statistical estimations made across disjoint data sources for federated learning, in the context of empirical risk minimization. We exploit the role of each local sample size for this problem to develop…

Sticky nonlinear SDEs and convergence of McKean-Vlasov equations without confinement

We develop a new approach to study the long time behaviour of solutions to nonlinear stochastic differential equations in the sense of McKean, as well as propagation of chaos for the corresponding mean-field particle system approximations. Our…

Flow Redirection for Epidemic Reaction-DIffusion Control

We show we can control an epidemic reaction-diffusion on a directed, and heterogeneous, network by redirecting the flows, thanks to the optimisation of well-designed loss functions, in particular the basic reproduction number of the model. We…

Epidemic Models for Personalised COVID-19 Isolation and Exit Policies Using Clinical Risk Predictions

In mid April 2020, with more than 2.5 billion people in the world following social distancing measures due to COVID-19, governments are considering relaxing lock-down. We combined individual clinical risk predictions with epidemic modelling to…

Gromov-Wasserstein Distances between Gaussian Distributions

The Gromov-Wasserstein distances were proposed a few years ago to compare distributions which do not lie in the same space. In particular, they offer an interesting alternative to the Wasserstein distances for comparing probability measures living…

Bayesian imaging using Plug & Play priors: when Langevin meets Tweedie

Since the seminal work of Venkatakrishnan et al. [82] in 2013, Plug & Play (PnP) methods have become ubiquitous in Bayesian imaging. These methods derive estimators for inverse problems in imaging by combining an explicit likelihood function…

A linear finite-difference scheme for approximating Randers distances on Cartesian grids

Randers distances are an asymmetric generalization of Riemannian distances, and arise in optimal control problems subject to a drift term, among other applications. We show that Randers eikonal equation can be approximated by a logarithmic…
