Fabrice Rossi

I'm assistant professor at TELECOM ParisTech, in the computer science & networks department and in the IC2 research group.

My former position (before September 2008) was full time researcher at the INRIA, member of the AxIS Project.


Research

My research activities are centered around statistical machine learning, especially kernel methods (such as support vector machines) and artificial neural networks. I'm interested in data mining for non standard data, such as functional data and non vector data (described by dissimilarity matrices). My application fields include spectrometry and web usage mining.

One of my recent research work on social network analysis was highlighted in Nature News, in the French newspaper Le Figaro and in the CNRS journal.

I'm associate editor of Neurocomputing and Neural Processing Letters. I'm a member of the scientific committee of ESANN.

Software

I've contributed to a few open source software projects, most notably to the GSL (Gnu Scientific Library), for which I've developed some optimization tools. I've also worked on a real time strategy game engine, the Stratagus projects (the original name freecraft was changed after a request from Blizzard). I've written a very simple Java application that demonstrate different path finding algorithm implementations for tile based terrains.

As a very modest contribution to Linux' spread, I've started to document post installation configuration needed to have Fedora 9 take full advantage of my Dell Latitude D430. I'm now doing the same thing for Fedora 10 on a Sony Vaio VGN-Z11WN/B (VGN-Z550N/B).

Teaching

Most of my teaching activity in computer science and mathematics is done in French with lecture notes written in French. The english ones are available through this page.
