François Charton, research engineer at Meta and PhD student at CERMICS, Jordan Ellenberg (U. Wisconsin), Adam Wagner (Deepmind), Geordie Williamson (U. Sydney), were interviewed by the New Scientist on their recent paper where they design an AI method called PatternBoost to generate interesting construction in mathematics coupling Transformers and classical search algorithm (see the news). As an example of application,… Read more »
François Charton (PhD student at CERMICS and research engineer at Meta) and Amaury Hayat‘s (researcher at CERMICS) work was featured in the New Scientist. In collaboration with Alberto Alfarano (research engineer at Meta), their work consist in training deep language models to find global Lyapunov function for systems of ordinary differential equations, a mathematical problem open in general.
The CIRCLES project received the IEEE ITS Lead Institutional award 2024, for “significant and outstanding contributions to the research and applications of ITS-related technologies”. This project was a collaboration between several institutions including Ecole nationale des Ponts et Chaussées, UC Berkeley, Rutgers University, Vanderbilt University and Temple University. The aim of the project is to reduce congestion and energy consumption… Read more »
