Short Bio

With a background in maths (Ecole Normale Superieure, agregation of Mathematics) , I went to industry (Thomson-CSF, now Thales) where I started to learn about computer science, project management, and Artificial Intelligence.

I got really interested in AI, became Consulting Engineer, and realized that Machine Learning was something to be. I was offered the opportunity to start research on Machine Learning for applications in Numerical Engineering, specifically Mechanics of Solids, at Laboratoire de Mécanique des Solides at Ecole Polytechnique

I passed my PhD in between Machine Learning (LRI, Université Paris-Sud Orsay), Data Analysis (Ceremade, Université Paris-10 Dauphine) and Mechanics (LMS, Ecole Polytechnique), and I entered CNRS (CR1, 1991).

In 2001, I went to LRI, Université Paris-Sud as head of the Inference and Apprentissage research group, founded by Yves Kodratoff.

In 2003, I founded together with Marc Schoenauer the research group TAO, Apprentissage and Optimization at INRIA.
