Reading a research paper takes time, and in order to get something out of it it is helpful to guide the process using a set of concrete questions about the paper and its thesis. Having a set of questions in mind can help the reader (1) better place the paper in the context of the literature, and...

I wanted to write this post for some time now since the longer I wait, the more my viewpoint diverges from the one I had when I was a prospective PhD student. At the moment, my memory of looking for PhD programs is still pretty fresh, but I have also seen the process from the other side, getting...

I defended my PhD three months ago. It is now online on my phd thesis repository, and as a website. I should found many typos in the future, so it should live on git / GitHub. Maybe I should translate it? Two pages, for sure, must be translated and blogged, Acknowledgements and Epigraph:...

I defended my PhD a month ago. Preparing the defense was bizarre. Without a critical last week overview from my supervisors, I would have miss the plot. Why? I spent three years digging a topic. When I began, neither me nor my supervisors had a complete view on it. This was about machine learning...

I defended my PhD today. This was cool to present three years of research to people who came specifically to hear it. I got good questions, nothing too prepared. I am also a bit proud of all the honours I got, I think it was maybe too much. Maybe I have done a more than the mean...

For the second year, I am teaching an introduction course to Machine Learning from mechanical engineers. The point is to gave an overview on the field in less than eight hours. I made a 1,5h lecture, 2h exercise and a 4h practical works. The lecture course cannot detail many things. I choosed to...

I did my first TEDx today, TEDxUSMBAnnecy. Preparing this talk was fun. I had to adjust the plot to a mainstream audience. But keep a bit of Deep Learning for the dream of it. I tried to merge the classical scientific discussion, with the procedural necessities of my research: 1-...

From my childhood, I have loved cars; perhaps it should not be surprising that my graduate studies would involve cars in some form or the other. However, I count myself as being extremely fortunate that my advisor (Mike!) let me to formulate and investigate a research problem for my PhD thesis...

Not everyone aspires to getting a PhD. But for those who do, pursuing one should be the pinnacle of their educational experience. Yet for many graduate students, studying for their doctoral degree turns into nightmare that continues to haunt them long after they’ve left university. And the reason...
