MASCOT PhD student 2020 Meeting

Due to the cancellation of the MASCOT-NUM 2020 meeting, a special meeting devoted to the MASCOT-NUM PhD students' day is organized from September 17th to September 18th, 2020, in Grenoble Alpes University (France).

It will be located at the Auditorium of the IMAG building, Grenoble University.

This meeting is devoted to PhD students communications on topics related to the Mascot-Num network activities, i.e. sensitivity analysis, uncertainty quantification in simulation, design and modelling of computer experiments, model calibration and validation, structural reliability, optimization under uncertainty, data-driven modelling methods, etc.

For the poster session, PhD students are invited to submit a two-page abstract using the LaTeX abstract template to be held on the same day. The PDF file shall be sent by May 11th, 2020 (deadline extended!) to gdr-mascotnum-contact@services.cnrs.fr

A prize of 1000€ will be awarded for the best oral presentation by the Mascot-Num scientific committee. A prize of 500€ will be awarded for the best poster by the Mascot-Num scientific committee.

All the speech will be in English.


The best student presentation award has been granted to Jérôme Stenger (EDF R&D/Université de Toulouse).
The best student poster award has been granted to Clément Gauchy (CEA/Ecole Polytechnique).

Title: Can random matrices change the future of machine learning?

Abstract: Many standard machine learning algorithms and intuitions are known to misbehave, if not dramatically collapse, when operated on large dimensional data. In this talk, we will show that large dimensional statistics, and particularly random matrix theory, not only can elucidate this behavior but provides a new set of tools to understand and (sometimes drastically) improve machine learning algorithms. Besides, we will show that our various theoretical findings are provably applicable to very realistic and not-so-large dimensional data.
