ERCIM “ Alain Bensoussan ” Fellowship

During my fellowship, I was incorporated into the image group on the “Human Motion Imitation” (HUMIM) project. This project consists in proposing a human motion model implying different mathematical techniques. Consequently, this project implies different skills in computer science, human physiology, mechanics and physics, optimisation’s problems, differential geometry and statistics, and requi...

Chromatop~ores from photoreaction centerless strain F24 of R h o d o ~ ~ i r i ~ u m rubru~ were subjected to different doses of y radiation. Target theory was applied to the induced decay of the B880 holochrome pigments as analyzed by absorption spectroscopy of the membranes and of organic solvent extracts. Destruction of bacteriochlorophyll is associated with a target size of 7 kDa. This indi...

A Tribute to Alain Colmerauer

As an invited contributor to this Festschrift honoring Alain Colmerauer, I feel compelled to give not only an account of his main research contributions, but also of my perspective on the motivations behind them. I hope that this will provide the reader with a glimpse of how a focused, tenacious, rigorous, and inventive mind like Alain’s picks research problems and proceeds to solve them. The h...

Multiple kernel learning (MKL) aims at simultaneously learning a kernel and the associated predictor in supervised learning settings. For the support vector machine, an efficient and general multiple kernel learning algorithm, based on semi-infinite linear programming, has been recently proposed. This approach has opened new perspectives since it makes MKL tractable for large-scale problems, by...
