And the  IPFEN 2018 Yves Chauvin PhD prize  is awarded to Aurélie Pirayre, for IFPEN first thesis on bioinformatics with graph optimization for gene networks. In French, you can now read ‘ ‘BRANE Power’’ : gènes et algorithmes, une alliance pour la chimie verte . Aurélie Pirayre , Grégoire Allaire , Didier Houssin , Pierre-Henri Bigeard , Eric Heintzé PhD manuscript and slides for her thesis: Reconstruction and clustering with graph optimization and priors on gene networks and images  (manuscript) Abstract: The discovery of novel gene regulatory processes improves the understanding of cell phenotypic responses to external stimuli for many biological applications, such as medicine, environment or biotechnologies. To this purpose, transcriptomic data are generated and analyzed from DNA microarrays or more recently RNAseq experiments. They consist in genetic expression level sequences obtained for all genes of a studied organism placed in different living conditions. From the

Une vie n'est pas coutume, Kultur Pop ajoute un neuvième morceau, leur générique, à Kultur Pop 44, Brain. Qui était déjà dans Kultur Pop 01, il y a 11 ans déjà, en 2007. Car 3^2-2^3 = 1 est une égalité rare. "We are using your brain's electrical system as a receiver, We are unable to transmit to your conscious neural interference" Tandis : qu'un monsieur Hulot est en vacance, et l'on ne sait pas si c'est chouette , que la glace fond, et pas que dans un vert de rosé, que l'on attend un ANPéRo de rentrée (le 5 octobre 2018) pour réchauffer tout ça : le 44e volume, Brain, des génériques Kultur Pop (France Culture/France Inter, et parfois des intruses), vient (enfin) de paraître, Au programme : Kultur Pop 2018.44 : Brain France Culture, Interlude nuits : Alain Romans, Quel Temps Fait-il a Paris?

An PhD position is still available on  Graph-based learning from integrated multi-omics and multi-species data (genomic, transcriptomic, epigenetic) between IFP Energies nouvelles and CentraleSupélec/INRIA Saclay. All the information is gathered at this address . Some information is duplicated below: Application for the funded PhD/doctorate (IFP Energies nouvelles/CentraleSupélec) position on  Graph-based learning from integrated multi-omics and multi-species data (genomic, transcriptomic, epigenetic) , starting Sep.-Dec. 2018 Excellent applications will be evaluated on a first come/first served basis Material:  send resume/CV with grades, and a short memo/letter explaining your interest and skill-match for this topic, to  fragkiskos(dod)malliaros(ad)centralesupelec(dod)fr ,  laurent(dod)duval(ad)ifpen(dod)fr  and  aurelie(dod)pirayre(ad)ifpen(dod)fr PhD advisor:  Jean-Christophe Pesquet ,  Center for Visual Computing  (or CVN, Centre de vision numérique), CentraleSupélec,  I

I am sorry David, I am afraid I should do that :) This thought gathering stems from a talk with David in Budapest, Hungary, from Shakespeare's Helmet Collective . He stands in the eye of a political storm ( recent hungarian elections and Viktor Orban declarations ), and proposed (with a collective) a Trauma Memorial in the center of Heroes' Square  (Hosök tere) in Budapest. I was lucky enough to witness it directly. It appeared as a black monolith with a video stripe: Here is a full story, which wavelets and monoliths, boozers and Marker. But you can skip it directly to the video:  A millenniumi emlékmu kiegészítése 100 év hordalékával . As a side note, I was happy to be for the first time in Hungary, home of many Hungary scientists mostly mathematicians (some known as the Martians ), some being prominent in the history of wavelets, like Alfréd Haar  or Frigyes Riesz , who were put in a multiscale perspective in a 2D wavelet panorama review paper , details below: A

With a little sense of provocations carried by the poster, Stanford university STATS 385 (Fall 2017) proposes a series of talks on the Theories of Deep Learning, with deep learning videos , lecture slides , and a   cheat sheet (stuff that everyone needs to know).  Outside the yellow submarine, Nemo-like sea creatures depict Fei-Fei Li, Yoshua Bengio, Geoffrey Hinton, Yann LeCun on a Deep dream background. So, wrapping up stuff about CNN (convolutional neural networks): The spectacular recent successes of deep learning are purely empirical. Nevertheless intellectuals always try to explain important developments theoretically. In this literature course we will review recent work of Bruna and Mallat, Mhaskar and Poggio, Papyan and Elad, Bolcskei and co-authors, Baraniuk and co-authors, and others, seeking to build theoretical frameworks deriving deep networks as consequences. After initial background lectures, we will have some of the authors presenting lectures on specific papers
