Fabrice Rossi

I'm a 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 and in the French newspaper Le Figaro.

I'm associate editor of Neurocomputing and Neural Processing Letters.

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). My last open source project was 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.

Teaching

From 1997 to 2003, I've been Assistant Professor at Université Paris Dauphine (I was a member of the CEREMADE at this time). I've given lessons in computer science (Java programming, XML, Web services, Distributed systems) and mathematics (Neural networks, Statistics, Stochastic Processes, Optimization). Most of my lecture notes are available on line, but in French only. I also wrote didactic articles mostly about artificial intelligence. Some of them are available on line, but all are written in French only.
