Title: The Capacitated p-Location Problem with Territorial Coverage Constraints Date: 11/07/2024 – 11:35 AM Room: S6 Résumé : In spatial planning, the efficient location and allocation of services pose complex challenges across diverse contexts. Our research focuses on the capacitated p-location problem, which aims to select p facilities from a set of potential locations to minimize allocation costs between facilities and consumers with specific demand weights, while respecting capacity constraints. To better model real-world applications, we extended this problem by introducing territorial coverage constraints. We examined the adapted formulation of this expanded problem and developed a heuristic approach to handle larger instances effectively. A case study in France’s PACA (Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur) region illustrates the impact of these coverage constraints.

Cornet seminar – Léo Joubert – 24/09/2024

17 September 2024

Le prochain séminaire de l’équipe CORNET se tiendra le 24 septembre à 11h35 en salle C057 (ancienne BU). Nous aurons le plaisir d’accueillir Léo Joubert, Maître de Conférences du laboratoire Dysolab à l’Université de Rouen-Normandie, qui nous présentera : _________________________________________________________ De quoi est faite Wikipédia ? Quelques pistes pour une analyse de sa régulation au prisme des effacements réciproques. Résumé : Vieille de 20 ans et aujourd’hui largement utilisée, l’encyclopédie Wikipédia continue à interroger par la manière dont elle est produite. Une communauté de « wikipédien.nes » volontaires remplace les habituels expert.es mobilisés par les comités de rédaction. Alors qu’au fil du temps, des règles encadrant la rédaction acquéraient leur légitimité, le volume du corpus augmentait en même temps que son hétérogénéité. Ce séminaire vise à catégoriser cette diversité, dans le but de saisir comment Wikipédia parvient à faire cohabiter différents modes de régulation ajustée à la pluralité des contextes. Nous mobiliserons pour cela une base de données compilant l’ensemble des ajouts et effacements sur l’ensemble des pages wikipédiennes. À partir d’une comparaison de plusieurs sous-corpus, l’analyse statistique constituera le point de départ d’une sociologie de la régulation des communs numériques de masse au regard de la pluralité des formes de coécriture. _________________________________________________________

Cornet Seminar – Anna Melnykova – 10/09/2024

2 September 2024

First CORNET seminar, Tuesday 10th september 2024 11:00, room C057. Anna Melnykova from Mathematics Lab of Avignon (LMA). Abstract: Hawkes processes is a versatile probabilistic tool which permits to model a variety of real-world phenomena: earthquakes, stock markets, population dynamics. In this talk we will focus on its use in neuroscience, where they permit to model interactions between different group of neurons (or individual neurons). Furthermore, due to memory property, models based on Hawkes processes naturally embed the refractory (inter-spiking) period for each individual neuron. The focus of this talk is on numerical and statistical challenges associated with Hawkes processes (simulation, parametric and non-parametric inference, causality).

Vincent Rialle, Université de Grénoble AlpesLieu :  CERI Salle 3 – C022 – 12h00 Titre : Comprendre l’IA des contraste extrêmes, médiatiques et politiques, et agir en tant que chercheur ou enseignant Résumé : L’intelligence artificielle défraie de manière croissante toutes les chroniques médiatiques depuis quelques années, avec en perspective pour 2024 quelques pires scénarios possibles mais aussi des avancées du discernement éthique, de la responsabilisation politique des états en matière de législation et régulation, et une progression des prises de conscience de l’acuité des problèmes sociaux, environnementaux et civilisationnels que pose cette technologie à l’humanité. L’exposé donnera une vue à la fois succincte et précise du paysage contrasté actuel. Puis dépassant les stratégies habituelles d’alertes par les extrêmes, qu’ils soient apocalyptiques ou enchanteurs, il présente une approche centrée sur la personne – chercheuse/chercheur dans son laboratoire, étudiant, ou toute personne intéressée par la question – et selon des ressources et principes existants et référencés (mais souvent noyés dans le flux médiatique actuel). Biographie : Vincent Rialle est maître de conférences-praticien hospitalier émérite à l’Université Grenoble Alpes (UGA, France) et enseignant bénévole à l’Université Inter-Âge du Dauphiné (UIAD) ; il est titulaire d’un doctorat en Éthique Biologique et Médicale et d’un Plus d'infos

SLG Seminar – Tanja Schultz – 25/04/2024

22 April 2024

On Thursday 25 April at 11am, we will host a talk from Prof. Tanja Schultz on « Neural Signal Interpretation for Spoken Communication ». The room will be defined later. Please find below a short abstract and bio from Prof. Tanja Schultz. Abstract: This talk presents advancements in decoding neural signals, providing further insights into the intricacies of spoken communication. Delving into both speech production and speech perception, we discuss low latency processing of neural signals from surface EEG, stereotactic EEG, and intracranial EEG using machine learning methods. Practical implications and human-centered applications are considered, including silent speech interfaces, neuro-speech prostheses, and the detection of auditory attention and distraction in communication. This presentation aims to spark curiosity about the evolving landscape of neural signal interpretation and its impact on the future of spoken communication. Bio: Tanja Schultz received the diploma and doctoral degrees in Informatics from University of Karlsruhe and a Master degree in Mathematics and Sport Sciences from Heidelberg University, both in  Germany.

Cornet Seminar – Judith Agueda Roldan Ahumada – 15/03/2024

12 March 2024

In the context of team Cornet’s seminars, Judith Agueda Roldan Ahumada (Universidad Veracruzana) will present her research work on Modeling and optimization of a vehicle routing problem in a coffee company, on March 15, 2023, at 11:35 in the meeting room. Abstract: In the central region of Veracruz, Mexico, given the weather and soil conditions, there are different companies dedicated to the coffee bean production. To carry out the different activities such as planting, harvesting,cleaning, among others, it is necessary to transport the harvesters to different agricultural lands; usually, this logistics problem is solved empirically without considering the cost per transfer. The problem, that will be shown, arose from the needing to solve a transport logistic problem for a coffee bean company in the central region of Veracruz.We consider a single vehicle with maximum capacity of N items, the vehicle starts the path with out items from a parking and it can collect the items in places that are along the way, that goes from parking to the place where the items are delivered (agricultural lands). The places are ordered consecutively, such that, once the vehicle goes through one, it can not return to the previous sites and it is Plus d'infos

SLG Seminar – Antoine Caubrière – 03/15/2024

11 March 2024

Next SLG meeting will take place on 03/15/2024, from 10 AM to 11 AM. We will host Antoine Caubrière from the company Orange, who will present his recent work Title: Representation of Multilingual Speech through Self-Supervised Learning in an Exclusively Sub-Saharan Context. Abstract: The Orange group operates in over a dozen sub-Saharan African countries with the ambition of offering services tailored to the needs of clients in this region. To provide localized and accessible services to digitally underserved and low-literate individuals, Orange is investing in the development of voice-based conversational agents to inform and assist its clients and employees.The implementation of such a service requires, first and foremost, a technological component for speech recognition and understanding.The strong linguistic diversity of the African continent, coupled with the challenges of limited annotated data, poses one of the challenges in implementing speech processing technology for these languages. One potential solution could be the utilization of self-supervised learning techniques. Leveraging this type of learning enables the training of a speech representation extractor capable of capturing rich features. This approach utilizes a large quantity of unlabeled data for pre-training a model before fine-tuning it for specific tasks. While numerous self-supervised models are shared within the Plus d'infos

Cornet Seminar – 23/02/2024

20 February 2024

The next seminar of the Cornet team will take place on February 23, 2024, at 11:35 a.m. in S3, and will consist of two parts. First, Sylvie Chaddad (LIA) will present her thesis topic on Stochastic Control for Optimizing Crowdfunding Project Dynamics. Then, Lorena Garrido (University of Veracruz) will present her work titled On the Monge-Kantorovich divergence. Abstract: The Monge-Kantorovich divergence is a measure of closeness between probability distributions. Historically, it arises from an optimal transport problem of sand movement, in the area of civil engineering. Today, the Monge-Kantorovich problem has given rise to many theoretical studies, as well as various applications, including data analysis. In this talk, a couple of applications in data analysis will be mentioned.

SLG Seminar- 15/02/2024

13 February 2024

Thibault Roux will organize a debate on the subject mentioned below: “Recent advances in technology have raised many questions and concerns about their impact on our societies. Many people are concerned about military use, mass surveillance or disinformation. From a more global perspective, Nick Bostrom, a philosopher, theorizes the vulnerable world hypothesis which predicts that science will destroy humanity.In this debate, we will question our own biases as researchers and try to answer the ethical questions raised by this hypothesis. Is science a threat to humanity? Should we stop science? Or more seriously, can we find a solution to prevent ourselves from self-destruction ?”
