My research work, present activities and projects.

I belong to the team GRAppA (Research group on Machine Learning) which is headed by Rémi Gilleron.

Previously, I successfully defended a PhD thesis entitled Language bias in the generate-and-test algorithm and Contributions to disjunctive learning. This work was supervised by Céline Rouveirol at the Laboratory of Computer Science (LRI, Paris-Sud University).

My current main interests are:

  • voting methods like boosting and applications to various frameworks in which a least general generalization algorithm exists ; in this task, I am developping VOLATA, a java library that implements ensemble methods and least general generalization algorithms ;
  • unsupervised learning and text clustering with Laurent Candillier (co-supervised with Isabelle Tellier) ;
  • information extraction with Patrick Marty ;
  • problems involved by medical data like the INDANA database.

  • Volata
    Volata is a generic machine learning system implemented in Java that provides ensemble methods like AdaBoost, Bagging, GloBoost and so on. Volata must be instanciated with generalization operators called lgg (least general generalization). Examples of such instanciations are given for classification tasks using attribute-value, sequences and trees representations of examples.
