Towards visual reasoning in deep learning
In the last decade, Machine Learning and Deep Learning have been at the heart of a technological and scientific revolution. It is a rebirth for Artificial Intelligence with huge advances in automatic translation, audio understanding and computer vision. Driven by these breakthroughs, many application fields are concerned. They involve complex reasoning tasks.<br />L. Bottou discusses several approaches to implement machine reasoning. Following his comments on differences between first order logic reasoning, probabilistic reasoning and others, in this AI chair project, we are focusing on trainable reasoning systems suitable for visual understanding tasks.
PHOTOASSISTED PRODUCTION OF HYDROGEN FROM UREA OXIDATION
The objective of HYUREA is to develop a photoelectrochemical reactor (PER) using solar energy for urea degradation coupled with H2 production (energy carrier) according to: <br />CO(NH2)2 + H2O + h?-solar + ?V-electrochemical --> CO2 + N2 + 3 H2.<br />This project is a break with curative treatments of wastewater treatment plants where nitrogen is difficult to treat. It integrates a nitrogen elimination at the source and allows a production of storable H2.
Genomics of invasion of the ladybug Harmonia axyridis
The ladybug Harmonia axyridis, an emblematic insect species to study color polymorphism, has emerged as a model species to study biological invasions. We will use complementary approaches (cf. modelling, statistical methods, genomics, experimental and functional analyses) to characterize the molecular footprints of adaptations that promoted the successful worldwide invasion of this species.
Structural Mass Spectrometry to study the interplay between proteasome complexes regulation mechanisms
The proteasome is an essential multi-enzymatic complex responsible for the correct recycling of proteins that could be deleterious to the cell. Its proteolytic activity is thus tightly regulated by different mechanisms. In this project we aim at better understanding the interplay between these mechanisms, using innovative Mass Spectrometry approaches and in the context of Irritable Bowel Diseases.
Adaptive Stereovision Systems in Man, Monkey and Machine
The 3D3M project is an interdisciplinary project (modeling, neuroimaging and psychophysical measurements in humans and in macaques) which validated the hypothesis according to which spatial regularities (and in particular 3D regularities) within the visual environment influence brain processing and perception in human and non-human primates.
Decentralized Knowledge Graphs
Knowledge Graphs (KGs) penetrate our everyday life, telling us what to buy, what to learn, etc. Major companies maintain Knowledge Graphs to power voice assistants and search engines. However, access to these KGs is restricted and the way they are built and maintained is not transparent. This restricted access and the lack of transparency do not allow to build new KGs or to build on top of them. DeKaloG encourages the growth of a public and decentralized web of Knowledge Graphs.

Assessing Resilience of DEep COrals
Like tropical coral reefs, cold-water coral (CWC) reefs form complex habitats providing important ecosystem services. But Cold Water Corals also have to cope with ocean warming and acidification, which could significantly reduce their fundamental niche if they are unable to adapt.
Laser Plasma Electron Acceleration with kHz Lasers
Laser-plasma acceleration is an emerging and promising technique to produce electron beams in a compact way. In most cases, 100 TeraWatt or even PetaWatt laser systems, operating at Herz or lower, are used to accelerate electrons to GeV energies. However, many applications would benefit from higher rates, at kHz or even higher. This project proposes to develop laser-plasma acceleration at kHz.
