Postdoc Fellowship Position summary/title:  Post-Doctoral Research Visit F/M privacy preserving federated learning with applications in medical domains

This post-doctoral position will be supported by the  HE Trumpet project, the HE Flute project and/or the PEPR IA Redeem project.      While this position will be in the MAGNET team in Lille, we will collaborate with the several European project partners.

While AI techniques are becoming ever more powerful, there is a growing concern about potential risks and abuses. As a result, there has been an increasing interest in research directions such as privacy-preserving machine learning, explainable machine learning, fairness and data protection legislation.
Privacy-preserving machine learning aims at learning (and publishing or applying) a model from data while the data is not revealed. Notions such as (local) differential privacy and its generalizations allow to bound the amount of information revealed.

 The MAGNET team is involved inthe related TRUMPET, FLUTE and REDEEM projects, and is looking for team members who can in close collaboration with other team members and national & international partners contribute to one or more of these projects.  All of these projects aim at researching and prototyping algoirhtms for secure, privacy-preserving federated learning in settings with potentially malicious participants.  The TRUMPET and FLUTE projects focus on applications in the field of oncology, while the REDEEM project has no a priori fixed application domain.

(03) Postdoctoral Fellowship Position

Postdoc Fellowship Position summary/title: Post-Doctoral Research Visit F/M Model placement in inference delivery networks

In this postdoc, we will study the problem of AI model placement in an IDN. This is a challenging optimization problem that involves a non-trivial tradeoff between model effectiveness, inference latency, and resource availability while also dealing with the natural dynamicity of the network, e.g., due to users’ request process or changes in available computing and communication resources. 

We will also consider other metrics, such as energy consumption, in the objective functions and networking constraints for systems where the network presents some inelasticity (see also [1]). We will leverage multi-objective optimization techniques (e.g., Pareto efficient solutions) and transfer learning techniques to adapt models across nodes with different levels of knowledge and resource availability. We will also rely on online learning approaches to achieve model placements with adversarial guarantees regarding regret.

In comparison to our preliminary work in [2] or [3], we will allow models to be split across multiple nodes [4,5,6]. In particular, we aim to compare specific model splitting techniques, with or without the insertion of bottlenecks [7,8] (reference [8] is also the result of NEO-AIRL cooperation), in terms of performance metrics like inference delay and network load. We will evaluate different methodologies to estimate online the quality of an inference [9].

Postdoc Fellowship Position summary/title: Post-Doctoral Research Visit F/M Anonymization of a dataset based on a questionnaire survey

The Comete project team at the Inria Saclay Center specializes in security and privacy protection and has sixteen researchers (https://www.inria.fr/fr/comete). The team studies concepts emerging from the modern era of computing. Security and privacy protection are among the fundamental concerns that arise in this context: the frequent interaction between users and electronic devices, and the continuous connection between these devices and the Internet, offer malicious agents the possibility of collecting and storing a huge amount of information without users even being aware of it. In addition to security issues, issues of correctness, robustness, and reliability are made more difficult by the complexity of modern systems because they are highly concurrent and distributed. Despite being based on impressive engineering technologies, they are still prone to faulty behavior due to errors in software design. To address these challenges, the team studies formal frameworks for specifying these systems, theories for defining desired correctness and security properties, and methods and techniques for proving that a system satisfies these properties.

Postdoc Fellowship Position summary/title: Post-Doctoral Research Visit F/M Individual-based modeling of coupled single-cell and population processes

This research project aims to better understand the mechanisms related to gene expression and plasmid
copy number fluctuations in a cell population with application to synthetic biology.

Modelling gene expression has been the subject of much interest in the literature. The models proposed are generally single-cell, and based on the central dogma of molecular biology, which describes a simplified scheme whereby instructions on DNA are transcribed into messenger RNA, which in turn is translated into proteins. In this scale, the environment is often assumed to be highly invariant and the number of molecules for each protein is small and therefore subject to considerable stochasticity. These numbers of molecules are modelled using continuous-time Markov chains (CTMC). In the scale of the demography, this individual dynamics becomes rapid and can be approximated by continuous models like ODEs. In addition, it becomes essential to take into account the unequal sharing of all this molecular content at the time of cell division. This mechanism is well known to enhance the heterogeneity of gene expression at the population level. How to develop models that capture all these aspects while remaining analytically or numerically tractable is an open research question and will be the focus of this project.

Postdoc Fellowship Position summary/title: Formal Verification and Embedded Rust for Low-Power Open Source Distributed System Software

this position will focus on designing and leading the development of formally verified open source buidling blocks for a cybersercure embedded software platform : a Rust-based, general-purpose OS running on the main low-power 32-bit microcontrollers (Arm Cortex-M, RISC-V, ESP32…) in the context of the RIOT-rs project.

The approach aimed for in this project includes the use of formal verification tools uising functional Rust as speficiation language (such as hax, in partnership with Cryspen) and fostering integration of formal verification workflows in the operating system’s continuous integration processes to automate proofs on the OS as it evolves, such as in this blueprint.

For further reading, see the output of RIOT-fp, a cybersecurity research project w.r.t. which the work envisionned here will be a follow-up. The targeted low-power devices are typically connected to the network via various low-power wireless techniques (BLE, 802.15.4, LoRa…) and low-power IPv6 secure protocol stacks. Recently, new standards have been specified in this domain, including the protocols necessary for SUIT-compliance, the new state-of-the-art regarding IoT software update security. In parallel, the development and integration of various relevant or upcoming cryptographic libraries (in particular NIST contenders) has become necessary to prepare for next-generation, post-quantum attacks.

(15) Postdoctoral Fellowship Position

Postdoc Fellowship Position summary/title: Post-Doctoral Research Visit F/M conversational agents with interpersonal skills

Some prior work has addressed making conversational agents more polite, more “playful” and even more flirtatious. But for the most part these attempts have relied on repetitive fixed behaviors that do not adapt to the listener’s behavior. Similarly, other prior work has attempted to give conversational agents a personality, but in many cases – including ChatGPT personas – these attempts seem to rely on old-fashioned or folk theories of personality and, once again, have not developed personality traits that adapt to the interlocutor. 

There is therefore a need for models of interpersonality that can be implemented into embodied conversational agents in order to allow them to optimize their collaboration with their human users by recognizing the user’s conversational style, personality, and behaviors and adapting over the course of one or several conversations.

(16) Postdoctoral Fellowship Position

Postdoc Fellowship Position summary/title: Post-Doctorant F/H ANIS – Acquisition Numérique In-Situ et restitution de l’apparence d’objets patrimoniaux tridimensionnels

Les techniques d’acquisition de l’apparence sont développées depuis de nombreuses années par les instituts nationaux de métrologie, ainsi que par des équipes universitaires dans des laboratoires d’optique ou, depuis les années 2000, dans des laboratoires d’infographie (Bonn, MIT Media Lab) ou de vision par ordinateur (e.g., UCL). Bien que ces instruments [1, 2] s’améliorent constamment en termes de précision de mesure, ils restent limités à certains égards : (i) vitesse de mesure lente, (ii) petite taille d’échantillon (quelques cm2) et (iii) apparence restreinte (projets prédominants BRDF [1] et BTDF radiométriques [2]). Surtout, elles ne sont pas conçues pour une acquisition in situ 

Or, les objets du patrimoine sont rarement transportables en laboratoire (en raison de contraintes telles que les questions juridiques, la taille, le poids, la conservation, l’accessibilité, …). Les dispositifs issus de l’Informatique Graphique ou de la vision 3D peuvent être plus rapides [3, 4]) et portables [5, 6] mais ils ne sont pas validés en termes de métrologie. L’un des principaux défis de l’acquisition in situ est le nombre de mesures qui peuvent être réalisées dans les limites des contraintes. Une solution consiste à concentrer l’acquisition sur un sous-ensemble d’informations bien identifiées de manière non invasive. La méthode non invasive se traduit par des systèmes optiques.

(23) Postdoctoral Fellowship Position

Postdoc Fellowship Position summary/title: Post-Doctoral Research Visit F/M Interpretable Classifier based on Multi-Modal Embeddings for rare classes: Application to identification of marine ecosystems

The success of supervised machine learning has given rise to a new priority, that of being able to interpret the models learned (explainable artificial intelligence, or XAI). The main directions investigated in XAI for computer vision include: building saliency maps  (for example by exploiting the gradient of the classifier); the identification of relevant sub-concepts for the classes under consideration, based on examples and/or the exploitation of sub-images of labelled images. New approaches based on the exploitation of multimodal embeddings, such as those integrated into CLIP, avoid the main limitations of the above guidelines (see [1] and references therein). However, multimodal embeddings reflect common concepts, which hinders their use in specific domains (ranging from biology to industrial environments) where classes involve rare sub-concepts (e.g., “protists”; “planktonic larvae”). Another challenge is to define *frugal* interpretable classifiers, supporting the interaction with researchers and end-users.

(24) Postdoctoral Fellowship Position

Postdoc Fellowship Position summary/title: Post-Doctoral Fellow M/F Recalibration of anatomical volumes for the segmentation and reduction of bone fractures

Shape registration is a fundamental task in digital anatomy, and more generally in imaging. The vast majority of methods used to solve this problem are based on an a priori of regularity of the deformation between source image and target image, imposed explicitly for classical approaches and implicitly for deep learning methods. This modeling choice reaches its limits when the images present violent anomalies that cannot be explained by simple elastic deformations: fractures, tumors, ischemia, etc.

We propose to overcome this problem by deepening the study of registration methods based on large-dimensional “features” (“functional maps”) to make them robust to tears and the disappearance of certain pieces of the anatomical “puzzle”. This will involve synthesizing methods developed in the computer graphics and medical imaging communities.

From a mathematical point of view, this project is part of the Parisian dynamic around the analysis of shapes to which Jean Feydy has contributed since 2015. From a medical point of view, this work is part of the REBONE university hospital research project (RHU) on the analysis of multiple fractures (2024-29, €25M). Our data will come from the Pasteur hospital in Nice and the Cochin hospital in Paris, with whom the HeKA team maintains close ties.

These simulations are run on highly parallel supercomputers on which both the hardware and the software are optimized for the task at hand. While the computing power of each processing unit is still increasing, the communication networks and the storage capabilities in these clusters do not follow such fast trends. As a result, computing nodes produce outputs faster than what can be stored or sent to process elsewhere: These simulations are IO-bound.

Postdoc Fellowship Position summary/title: Post-Doctoral Research Visit F/M Mesh adaptation for nonlinear dispersive wave propagation

Starting from the tsunamis free surface water displacement and flow velocity fields which will be known, we will consider using the Boussinesq model UHAINA for simulating propagation and inundation phases. UHAINA [1], is an operational hydrodynamic model, combining high-order solutions (mandatory for a correct representation of dispersion), unstructured meshes and a HPC-devoted programming environment able to deal with the requirement of a real area. UHAINA also offers rapid development capabilities to integrate new approaches (mesh adaptation and embedded approach, see hereafter) to improve tsunami simulation. Static meshes, despite being refined a-priori around the coastline, are inherently not efficient for tsunami simulations where an impulsive wave is initially concentrated in a narrow region and then propagates over a certain distance. Mesh adaptation techniques have proved their efficiency in improving numerical accuracy while reducing the overall computational cost in many scientific domains. Several adaptive strategies have already been deployed for shallow water flows, including tsunami applications: hierarchical mesh refinement [3,4], unstructured re-meshing [3,5] and r-adaptation [6]. In contrast with [6], where the mesh vertices were moved but the connectivity remained fixed, we will investigate metric-based mesh adaptation, where the domain is entirely remeshed in order to optimize both the elements size and orientation. This allows us to change the global number of vertices throughout the simulation when the waves are expanding in the domain. Vertices can be moved between two remeshings to fine tune their location if needed. This sub-task will involve the coupling of the MMG remeshing software with UHAINA. Mesh adaptation full capabilities can only be leveraged when trying to generate the best possible mesh for a given computation: mesh adaptation is then seen as a process to minimize a certain well-chosen error. Driven by this minimization, one expects the simulations to be noticeably more accurate, and even to emphasize flow details usually neglected by standard refinement procedures. The error model is thus key in the adaptation process. We will first evaluate the performance of classic interpolation error based on indicators developed in the continuous mesh framework [2]. However, the dispersive regularization of the SWE results in more regular solutions, for which classic error models may be limited. A key point of the project will be to propose error estimators well suited for non-linear dispersive wave propagation. To our best knowledge, such an error model would be completely novel. In particular, local smoothness of the solution will first be considered, then we will study phase errors and ways to control them. We have to highlight that, up to the authors’ knowledge, mesh adaptation for dispersive wave propagation is, up to now, only limited on structured meshes [4,7] and this will be the first time unstructured meshes will be used. Once the adaptive process has been validated on academic test cases, we will run large scale simulations of tsunamis in a realistic setting.

Postdoc Fellowship Position summary/title: Post-Doctoral Research Visit F/M Faster Bilevel Optimization to Accelerate Machine Learning

Bilevel optimization, the problem of minimizing a function that depends on the minimum of another function, is a problem that appears in many areas of machine learning, like data reweighting, implicit deep learning, or neural architecture search.
While many important and timely machine learning problems are framed as bilevel optimization, how to solve these problems efficiently is still an open problem for the community. As a result, developing better bilevel optimization algorithms has a ripple effect by accelerating research in all areas based on bilevel formulations. The general goal of this project is to develop new algorithms for bilevel
optimization that are faster, easier to use, and more scalable. These new algorithms will then be applied to advance the relevant applications of bilevel optimization in machine learning.

We will then assess the quality of the generated samples using a variety of metrics (authenticity, coverage, recall, GAN-train, GAN-test). Finally, we will evaluate the utility of the generative approach on longitudinal and cross-sectional connectivity-based diagnostic problems.

Postdoc Fellowship Position summary/title: Post-Doctoral Research Visit F/M Identification robotique des paramètres musculaires

The aim of this project is to develop new methods for muscle parameters identification, using robotics platforms. The ambition is to tackle this still open issue using an innovative experimental setup and dedicated estimation and control algorithms developed in a unified framework.

The development of accurate and personalized NMSK models is essential for changing paradigms of rehabilitation and interactions involving assistive devices. One of the main challenges is to identify these models parameters [1]. Efficient robotics approaches have been developed [2], that do not generalize to human models as they do not address muscular and cellular parameters identification.
In this project, we want to address muscle parameters identification thanks to a unique setup combining the computation of precise parameter-exciting trajectories [3] and the use of robots as position and force sensors, in contact with the patient’s body. Their precise kinematics and embedded force sensors make them perfect experimental platforms to quantify body motions and adapt the model’s parameters based on their measurements. We plan to develop a formulation that will combine, in a single real-time optimization problem, the estimation of the user-specific NMSK parameters and the computationof the future exciting movements of the upper limb, in order to guarantee a good observability of the parameters of interest. Implemented as a combination of a sliding window estimator and a nonlinear model predictive control algorithm [4], the relevance of this approach lies in the exploitation of the fact that the same dynamical system is controlled and estimatedat the same time [5]. This unified formulation will ensure the sensitivity of the variables to be estimated with respect to the control variables
