Come support two GERAD students participating in the Three-Minute Thesis (3MT) competition. The Polytechnique community is invited to vote for their favourite presentation until April 23, 2021!
Solène Kojtych, Optimisation de boîtes noires discontinues : application à la conception d'aubes de turbomachines robustes aux interactions de contact
Ludovic Salomon, Optimisation multiobjectifs de boîtes noires sous contraintes générales
Title: Optimisation des hyperparamètres des réseaux de neurones profonds
Congradulation to Professors Sébastien Le Digabel, Charles Audet, Andrea Lodi and Dominique Orban! This grant totaling $781,500 is a partnership with Huawei Technologies and will focus on "Numerical Optimization and Machine Learning".
This article, published in the prestigious journal Nature, shows that in France, many COVID-19 patients have not consulted or alerted public health to their condition, leading to problematic under-detection of cases. This study is based on a mathematical model, the parameters of which were optimized using the NOMAD software developed at GERAD by the team of professors Charles Audet and Sébastien Le Digabel and the research associates Viviane Rochon Montplaisir and Christophe Tribes. This blackbox optimization software has been in continuous development for over twenty years and represents the state of the art in derivative-free optimization.
