This is an old revision of the document!
I am working on hybridization of Evolutionary Algorithms (EA) in a data mining context. EA are nature inspired and stochastic algorithms that mimic Darwin theory for problem optimization. As data mining deals now with Big Data, it is natural to consider EA for optimizing models (neural nets, association rules, decision trees, SVM…) produced by data mining algorithms used for classification, clustering, prediction and so on. Currently, I am co-supervising Romaric Pighetti with Pr. Precioso in the combination of SVM and EA for mining large scale image databases to deal with Content Based Image Retrieval.
I also investigated the use and adaptation of Evolutionary Computation (EC) for considering user preferences via Eye-Tracking technology in Interactive EC, water current prediction in Hydrology, abnormalities detection via NeuroEvolution in flights boarding, and more recently plant mining and flavors/olfactive receptors relationships (QSAR) in Chemistry…
Before 2007, I was interested by Computer Aided Design, Collaborative Design and Geometric modelling for manufactured products.
Most of my scientific production is refered by which give us simple biblio analytics there.
