Université Paris Diderot — Paris 7

This thesis deals with statistical questions raised by the analysis of highdimensional genomic data for cancer research. In the first part, we study asymptotic properties of multiple testing procedures that aim at controlling the False Discovery Rate (FDR), that is, the expected False Discovery Proportion (FDP) among rejected hypotheses. We develop a versatile formalism to calculate the asympto...

Université Paris -

The high bb cross section produced by the LHC offers an excellent opportunity for the study of flavour changing neutral current B decays, where the effects of new physics can be probed. This thesis presents an analysis of the rare decay B→ K∗0e+e−, which can be used to measure the polarisation of the photon in the b→ sγ transition. When the dilepton mass is low, the e+e− pair comes predominantl...

Data Analysis Project: What Makes Paris Look like Paris?

Given a large repository of geotagged imagery, we seek to automatically find visual elements, e.g. windows, balconies, and street signs, that are most distinctive for a certain geo-spatial area, for example the city of Paris. This is a tremendously difficult task as the visual features distinguishing architectural elements of different places can be very subtle. In addition, we face a hard sear...
