News	News This web page, still under construction, replaces my webpage at amis-group.fr, Our paper: OKVAR-Boost: a novel boosting algorithm for inferring nonlinear dynamics and interactions in gene regulatory networks has been published in Bioinformatics, on April 4, 2013. Prof. George Michailidis will visit the group in June. The ANR project ODESSA has been extended until end of June 2013. Markus Heinonen joined us as a postdoc last January. Dhafer Lahbib joined us as a postdoc last December. Adel Mezine and Artemis Llamosi ranked 3rd (aexquo) at the DREAM7 Challenge in october 2012. See the lab website for latest news.
Publications (old list) Projects PhD students Workshop	Research My research is on machine learning and systems biology. Currently my focus is on operator-valued kernel-based regression to model and predict structured input and output data. I called this framework IOKR for Input and Output Kernel Regression. This tool has great applications in computational and systems biology, namely in network inference and network reverse-modeling. See my publications for more results. My research group is part of the Bioinformatics axis of IBISC.
	Teaching Exceptionnally, this year (2012-13), I only taught during the first semester at the Master level 3 courses: - Machine Learning for Structured Data (Master of Computer science, Université d'Evry) : cours en français - Machine Learning for biological network inference (Master of Synthetic and Systems Biology, Université d'Evry) : course in english - Application of mathematical programming to machine learning (Ecole Centrale Paris, Course Paul-Henry Cournède, 2nd year): cours en français
	Management I'm head of the Master of Computer Science of Evry. I was joint director of IBISC in 2010 and 2011.
