PhD position summary/title: PhD Position F/M Signal processing-based on the squared eigenfunctions of the Schrodinger operator. Application to EEG signals

Biomedical signals are usually characterized by the presence of peaks that provide direct or indirect information on the physiological and metabolic state. Usually, these pulse-shaped signals require preprocessing such as denoising and artifact removals. Further analysis and processing might be required in some specific situations to allow for the extraction of pertinent information from these signals. Despite the fact that the literature abounds with signal processing methods, there are still challenges that need to be overcome and further improvements can be achieved for processing pulse-shaped signals. In this context, a quantum-based signal processing method has been proposed in 1. This method called the semi‐classical signal analysis (SCSA) method decomposes the signal into a set of functions given by the squared eigenfunctions of the Schrödinger operator associated with its negative eigenvalues 1. Thus, and unlike traditional signal decomposition tools, the SCSA expresses the signal through a set of functions that are signal dependent, that is, these functions are not fixed and known in advance but are computed by solving the spectral problem of the Schrödinger operator whose potential is the signal to be analyzed. Accordingly, these eigenfunctions capture more details about the signal and its morphological variations 2. The SCSA has been successfully applied in many applications for signal representation, denoising, post‐processing, and feature extraction. For example, it has been used for arterial blood pressure waveform analysis in 3,4 and for magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) denoising 5, for MRS water suppression 6, and for MRS lipid suppression 7. It has been also used for feature extraction in epileptic seizure detection 8 and for the characterization of PPG signals and blood pressure signals for non-invasive estimation of central pressure and arterial stiffness respectively 9. Recent work on the characterization of EEG signals for epileptic seizure detection and seizure onset zone location has shown promising results 1011.

PhD position summary/title: PhD Position F/M PhD position F/M Building physics-based multilevel surrogate models from neural networks. Application to electromagnetic wave propagation

Numerical simulations of electromagnetic wave propagation problems primarily rely on a space discretization of the system of Maxwell’s equations using methods such as finite differences or finite elements. For complex and realistic three-dimensional situations, such a process can be computationally prohibitive, especially when the end goal consists in many-query analyses (e.g., optimization design and uncertainty quantification). Therefore, developing cost-effective surrogate models is of great practical significance.

There exist different possible ways of building surrogate models for a given system of partial differential equations (PDEs) in a non-intrusive way (i.e., with minimal modifications to an existing discretization-based simulation methodology). In recent years, approaches based on neural networks (NNs) and Deep Learning (DL) have shown much promise, thanks to their capability of handling nonlinear or/and high dimensional problems. Model-based neural networks, as opposed to purely data-driven neural networks, are currently the subject of intense research for devising high-performance surrogate models of parametric PDEs.

PhD position summary/title: PhD student F/M Bandit theory for personalized patient monitoring.

The BIP-UP project funded by the ANR begins on January 1, 2023 and will last 4 years. BIP-UP is based on a collaboration that has existed for several years between the Inria Scool team, led by Philippe Preux, and the INSERM 1190 unit located at Lille University Hospital, led by François Pattou, both professors at the University of Lille. .
This collaboration aims to study the use of health data for personalized patient monitoring after surgical intervention. The hope is that the health data collected by different actors will make it possible to move from an identical monitoring protocol for all patients to a personalized protocol which, by being adapted to each patient, would be better followed by patients, therefore with a better benefit for their health.
Started in 2019, this collaboration has already borne fruit. On the one hand, these 3 years of work have allowed us to better identify and characterize the problems to be addressed and the ways to address them. Furthermore, in addition to permanent staff in the two teams, an engineer, a doctoral student and a post-doc have carried out significant preliminary work.

PhD position summary/title: PhD Position F/M Fast solvers for studying light absorption by nanostructured imagers

The exploitation of nanostructuring in order to improve the performance of CMOS imagers based on microlens grids is a very promising avenue. In this perspective, numerical modeling is a key component to accurately characterize and optimize the absorption properties of these complex imaging structures which are intrinsically multiscale (from the micrometer scale of the lenses to the nanometric characteristics of the nanostructured material layers). The present PhD project is proposed in the context of a collaboration between the Atlantis project-team of Inria research center at Université Côte d’Azur and STMicrolectronics (CMOS Imagers division of the Technology for Optical Sensors department) in Crolles. A Cifre funding will support this project.

The objectives of the project are to design (1) a fast electromagnetic simulation approach based on a model reduction technique, to characterize numerically the light trapping in digital imagers exploiting nanostructured pixels and, (2) a multi-objective optimization strategy of the geometrical characteristics of the nanostructuring in order to simultaneously maximize the light absorption in a pixel and to minimize the crosstalk phenomenon between neighboring pixels. For the first time, in addition to the rigorous methods for solving Maxwell’s equations, we will be able to benefit from an alternative simulation approach based on model reduction. This new approach can be used in an optimization process and the expected gain in total computation time would be between 10 to 1000.

PhD position summary/title: PhD Position F/M Privacy on-demand and Security preserving Federated Generative Networks or Models

Future sixth-generation (6G) networks will be highly heterogeneous, with the massive development of mobile edge computing inside networks. Furthermore, 6G is expected to support dynamic network environments and provide diversified intelligent services with stringent Quality of Service (QoS) re- quirements. Various new intelligent applications and services will emerge (including augmented reality (AR), wireless machine interaction, smart city, etc) and will enable tactile communications and In- ternet of everything (IoE). This will challenge wireless networks in the dimensions of delay, energy consumption, interaction, reliability, and degree of intelligence and knowledge, but also in the dimen- sion of information and data sharing. In turn, 6G networks will be expected about leveraging data at the next step of the new communication system generation. First of all, they will generate large amounts of data much more data than 5G networks: multiple sources as Core, Radio Access Network, OAM, User Equipments (UEs) but also as private and/or personal devices/machines massively con- nected, data-generator applications as sensing, localization, context-awareness services etc. Besides, unlike today’s networks where traffic is almost entirely centralized, most 6G traffic will remain localized and highly distributed. The communication system will not only provide the bits reliably, but more importantly will provide the intelligent data processing through connectivity and resources computing in the devices, the edge, and the cloud in the network. For this, with Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML), machines will bring to networks the necessary intelligence very close to the place of action and decision-making and will also make data sharing possible.

PhD position summary/title: PhD student F/M Robust health monitoring in rotor dynamics using statistical learning

In an economic and social context marked by aging structures and shortages of materials, it is essential to ensure the proper functioning of existing structures, such as in energy production. Many types of defects can appear, but generally have the same impact: a crack. In the energy production sector, the main cause of failure of turbomachines is due to fatigue cracks which can lead to dramatic accidents as for the turbine of the hydroelectric power station of the Sayano-Shushenskaya dam (Russia) on 17 August 2009 which killed 75 people. The need to have effective and reliable methods for crack detection and monitoring of these structures is obvious to guarantee their proper functioning, increase their lifespan and avoid accidents. Reactive and preventive maintenance requires stopping energy production, which represents a complex organization with high costs and limits the overall efficiency of the equipment. Conversely, early detection of damage enables effective predictive maintenance, which reduces maintenance costs and downtime and increases production and service life.

PhD position summary/title: PhD Position F/M Vehicle-and-mobile phone computing sharing as part of the edge-to-cloud continuum

Intelligent Transport System is open to new applications and services (e.g., infotainment, video streaming, etc.) leveraging vehicle and consumer interaction opportunities. Among such opportunities is the possibility of using computation and/or connectivity resources offered by nearby intelligent vehicles to execute tasks from third-party devices (mobile phones), thus extending the existing Edge-Cloud ecosystem.

 

Unfortunately, one of the issues making such resource sharing a challenging task is the vehicles and devices heterogeneity in behaviors and resources (e.g., diverse mobility routines, urban traffic, heterogeneous space-time interaction between users and nearby vehicles, etc.). In particular, a direct consequence of hosting or using resources in cars in a distributed way is their exposure and sensitivity to uncertainties of behaviors in users’ mobility and vehicle connectivity brought by traffic conditions. It is, therefore, essential to integrate mobility into the provided solutions besides dealing with resources, capabilities, and sharing.

PhD position summary/title: PhD Position F/M Verified Offloading Orchestration of Network Functions at the Edge

This work is in the context of the HiSec project. The HiSec project is part of the 5G PEPR founded by the ANR, which focuses on cyber-security issues in future networks. These networks have played a key role in service delivery for digital infrastructures. These new networking technologies have also penetrated essential and critical services for our daily lives, such as energy, transportation or healthcare. The pervasive use of digital services and networks to control these critical infrastructures significantly increases the attack surface and the opportunities for attackers. We regularly observe attacks against these infrastructures, leading to successful compromise and very significant impacts. The objective of the HiSec project is thus to handle cybersecurity issues in these environments, and propose new mechanisms to protect these networks and detect attacks, attacks against the networking infrastructure itself, or against the services hosted or the users of the network.

PhD position summary/title: PhD Position F/M PhD Position F/M Interacting with Avatars in Virtual and Augmented Reality

This PhD position is framed in the context of the ANR project ASTRAL (Augmented Self: TowaRds effective Avatars in augmented reaLity). The general context of this project is the design and study of avatars in augmented reality. Avatars, i.e. digital representations of users in a Virtual Environment (VE) [1], are more and more present in our lives due to the recent democratization of Virtual Reality (VR) headsets and supported by the colossal investments of major economic actors such as Meta or Microsoft. Avatars today are the most broadly used means for representing users in an immersive VE and can be found in a wide range of applications in areas such as entertainment, tele-communication, medicine, education, etc. Such avatars have been shown to improve users’ presence [2] and performance [3] in immersive VEs, and even alter their perceptions [4]. Our general objective is therefore to enable and evaluate AR avatarization (i.e. providing users with their own AR avatar). Reaching this objective will help us pave the way to new innovative AR avatars by proposing new rendering and interaction methods along with perceptual understanding of their use. Considering this general objective, we will focus our efforts on three scientific objectives. This PhD will focus on the interaction dimension, and in particular on the “Interacting through AR avatars”. We envision the AR avatar as an interaction tool that will augment the user’s interaction capabilities, enabling the interaction with real and augmented content.

PhD position summary/title: Doctorant F/H Sécurité du tatouage en IA génératif

Le tatouage numérique est une technologie née dans les années 2000 qui consiste à insérer un signal imperceptible mais robuste dans un contenu hôte (image, vidéo, audio, texte, …). Bien que peu connu du grand public de par son imperceptibilité, le tatouage numérique est omniprésent dans notre société. La plupart des photos des agences de presse, des films au cinéma ou en VOD, des émissions télévisées sont tatouées essentiellement pour des raisons de protection du droit d’auteur [1,5].

En juin 2023, l’administration Biden-Harris a exhorté les grands acteurs américains de l’Intelligence Artificielle à déployer une IA éthique et responsable. Parmi les engagements souhaités, l’utilisation du tatouage numérique est explicitement cité comme technologie permettant de distinguer les contenus générés par l’IA [3].

De nombreux papiers scientifiques étudient la possibilité d’intégrer du tatouage dans l’IA générative que ce soit pour des images [2], de l’audio [8] ou du texte [4,6,7]. On compte trois grandes approches : i) entrainer un modèle sur des données tatouées, ii) modifier les poids d’un modèle déjà appris pour qu’il génère des contenus reconnus comme tatoués par un détecteur donné, iii) insérer le signal de tatouage post génération. Ces techniques sont évaluées en terme d’imperceptibilité (mesure de la qualité du contenu tatoué généré) et de robustesse (capacité à détecter le tatouage après modification du contenu).

PhD position summary/title: PhD Position F/M Stochastic methods for uncertainty modelling and quantification in coupled physical-biogeochemical ocean models

Different approaches have been developed in recent years to represent a variety of uncertainties such as those associated with transport, by introducing stochastic parameterizations into the fluid mechanics equations. For example, the method introduced by Mémin (2014), which is based on a decomposition of the velocity field into a resolved large-scale component and random fluctuations, makes it possible to represent the so-called localization uncertainties (LU) in the Navier-Stokes equations, and thus to represent the action of unresolved scales. It allows in particular to interpret and generalize some turbulence models by a particular choice of the random fluctuation component or its variance. Other methods based on the generation of autoregressive stochastic fields allow the transformation of deterministic ocean models into probabilistic/ensemble models, and have led to various applications with the NEMO model (Brankart et al., 2015).

PhD position summary/title: PhD Position F/M Latency-Driven resources placement in Fog-based IoT systems

Cloud computing and its three facets (IaaS, PaaS and SaaS) have become essential in today Internet Applications, offering many advantages such as scalability, elasticity or flexibility. With its different service models, the cloud still faces many issues prone to impact either the end-user (QoS), the provider (Cost) and the environment (Sustainability).

The Fog computing is a recent paradigm that address such issues by provisioning resources outside the cloud and closer to the end-device, at the edge of the network. This allows to reduce the latency and minimize the traffic between end-user and the cloud plat-form [3]. Several studies have shown that fog systems can indeed reduce the latency compared to cloud systems, but this reduction is not guaranteed and will highly depend on the components placement, leading sometimes to worse performance [8]. It has been also demonstrated that less traffic is sent to the cloud when using fog systems. However, a lack of a proper monitoring or reconfiguration mechanism in the fog exists, especially when the application is related to the IoT [7], where the cloud infrastructure is known not to be a viable solution.

PhD position summary/title: PhD Position F/M PhD thesis Proposal – Modelling and Estimation for Large Scale Multimodal Mobility Networks 2024-2027

Our society is more and more conscious of the contribution of current mobility modes to the climate crisis. This is why innovative low-carbon mobility solutions are being promoted by decision-makers and increasingly adopted by citizens. It is, for instance, expected that Electric Vehicles (EVs) will account for 70% of sold vehicles by 2030. The EU Commission, with its Fit 55 plan, even envisions a ban on the sale of new petrol and diesel cars as early as 2035. Meanwhile, adoption of micromobility modes is increasing significantly. Micromobility is an umbrella term used to describe the category of transportation using non-conventional battery-powered vehicles aimed at shrinking the physical and environmental footprint required for quickly moving people over relatively short distances. With micromobility, urban transportation modes have diversified very quickly. The challenge for cities encompasses organization and planning of public space and promotion of active mobility for health purpose given the passivity of some micromobility modes (e-scooters in particular).  The co-existence of these modes in shared spaces cause various kinds of inconvenience for other users (people in wheelchairs, walking with a baby in a stroller, or elderly people) and alters the perception of safety which can lead vulnerable people to be more sedentary. Beyond the perception, it is attested that the number of accidents due to e-scooters is constantly increasing.  It is therefore crucial to monitor the use of these micromobility modes by collecting information in a dynamic and non-intrusive way and then make recommendations for safer shared spaces and physical activity.

But contact is today synonymous for crash, and thus avoided. The unstable nature of aerial robots, their non-linear dynamics, and limited vision-based perception, make the manipulation problem in real environments extremely difficult and delicate.

Scientific scope and objectives: Tomorrow’s mobility is being reinvented by the increased usage of less polluting modes of transport, the diffusion of shared means of transportation, and the provision of information to users who must be actors of their mobility. The various mobility or communication technologies require time to be adopted and the full spectrum of their consequences must be understood. In order to analyze the long-term effects of a technology on overall mobility, models with different time scales must be integrated: on the one hand, the daily mobility that can be captured by macroscopic models such, and on the other hand, the gradual adoption of the technology, whose dynamics can be accelerated by the incentives from policy makers.

PhD position summary/title: PhD Position F/M Re-designing the Input Pipeline in Interactive Systems

Routine tasks such as controlling a system cursor or moving a virtual camera involve continuous visuo-motor control from the user, to which the system has to respond accurately and with minimal latency. Modern Human-Computer Interfaces use multi-step input pipelines between the user’s movements and the system’s feedback that are frequently opaque to interaction designers. Each of these steps (sensing, filtering, transforming, predicting, etc.) strongly affects the next, as well as the pipeline’s outcome. And yet, many of them are designed in isolation and calibrated by trial and error using legacy or ad-hoc approaches, or limited knowledge of the underlying psychomotor phenomena. This limits user performance and experience in everyday computer use, and hinders the design and adoption of new devices and sensing methods.

This Ph.D. will explore and address the knowledge gaps in the design of continuous input pipelines: in the way we design their steps, but also in our understanding of how users perceive, decide, and act in these real-time tasks. It will involve methods and tools from HCI, experimental psychology, machine learning, or control theory. The goal is to discover and establish generalizable guidelines, methods and algorithms to build input pipelines whose steps can fit and adapt to any user, system, or device.

PhD position summary/title:  PhD Position F/M Tracing business rules in source code

Because software is a computer model of the real world, it must continually adapt to changes in the world. For example, for software publisher Berger-Levrault, which equips more than three-quarters of local public administrations (i.e. 26,000 out of 36,000 French local authorities) in the education, health, maintenance, social and land management sectors, its software solutions must model the legislation in force in each area of application. This may concern, for example, the number of days of statutory leave for a birth or death, the tax rules to be applied when deducting tax at source, the pricing of a day in a nursing home or the calculation methods for invoicing children’s canteen meals. These rules, imposed on the software by the real world, are called Business Rules.
Each time there is a change in the real world, whether in the form of a decree implementing a law, case law or a change in local practice (e.g. the recent extension of parental leave to men), the software in the domain must be updated. This presupposes, of course, that the corresponding business rule can be found in the code. A typical piece of software implements a huge number (i.e. several tens of thousands) of business rules in code that extends over tens of thousands of pages.

These new models must integrate multi-physical interactions between aerodynamics, propulsion, structures and materials. The systematic verification and validation of these models allows to integrate CFD in the certification process, reducing our reliance on costly experimental testing. It is with this goal in mind that AIRBUS, DLR, and ONERA have launched a new common CFD software project, called CODA.

PhD position summary/title:  PhD Position F/M PhD : Energy efficient slicing for 6G networks using AI/ML technics

With the current energy crisis, the skyrocketing cost of energy, and the global awareness of the consequences of carbon emissions on our planet, it is crucial to reduce the global energy consumption related to Information and Communication Technologies, and in particular the one related to networks. Indeed, while being commercialized worldwide, the 5G technology coupled with ultra high resolution video has been blamed for its high energy consumption [5G-power]. To answer this issue, industrials and researchers have started to look beyond 5G to define the next 6G with at its core the need to evolve towards greener networks. The 6G standard imposes a transmission energy efficiency target in its Key Parameter Indicators (1picoJ/bit). However,

About  The National Institute for Research in Computer Science and Automation (Inria), France –Official Website

The National Institute for Research in Computer Science and Automation (Inria)  is a French national research institution focusing on computer science and applied mathematics. It was created under the name Institut de recherche en informatique et en automatique (IRIA) in 1967 at Rocquencourt near Paris, part of Plan Calcul. Its first site was the historical premises of SHAPE (central command of NATO military forces), which is still used as Inria’s main headquarters. In 1980, IRIA became INRIA. Since 2011, it has been styled Inria.

Inria is a Public Scientific and Technical Research Establishment (EPST) under the double supervision of the French Ministry of National Education, Advanced Instruction and Research and the Ministry of Economy, Finance and Industry.
