History:
I am a full professor at Université de Rennes 1 France, since 2017 and a Junior member of the Institut Universitaire de France (IUF) (2019-2024).
I work at IRISA research institute in the INRIA LACODAM ("Large Scale Collaborative Data Mining") team.
From 2008 until 2017, I was associate professor at Université Jean Monnet in Saint-Etienne, France. I worked at the Hubert Curien research institute in the Data Intelligence team.
I received my Research Habilitation (HDR) in December 2015 from the University of Saint-Etienne.
From 2006 until 2008 I was a postdoctoral researcher in the Machine Learning group of the Katholieke Universteit Leuven, Belgium.
I received my PhD in December 2005 from Université de Rennes 1.
Research domains :
- Interpretability of data mining/machine learning models and decisions
We are looking for post docs on this subject!
- Machine Learning for fraud and anomaly detection (mainly in time series)
- Outdoor scene analysis with deep learning (problems related to the fusion of multimodal data, domain selection, domain adaptation, class imbalance, ...)
