Il existe une forte demande d’outils d’optimisation en grande
dimension appliqués dans<br>
les domaines de l’apprentissage statistique et du traitement de
données non-homogènes.<br>
Les jeux de données à traiter, mais aussi les modèles qui les
régissent contiennent par<br>
ailleurs des incertitudes dont il s’agit d’estimer et de maitriser
l’impact.
L’optimisation dans<br>
le contexte de données massives, l’analyse d’incertitudes, et
l’optimisation robuste pour<br>
minimiser leur influence, sont des problématiques qui apparaissent
dans plusieurs domaines<br>
applicatifs dans lesquels le LJK est beaucoup investi. Le LJK
souhaite recruter un maître de<br>
conférence, qui cherche à développer des aspects méthodologiques ou
applicatifs de ces<br>
thématiques, transverses à plusieurs équipes et départements du
laboratoire. <br>

23 -- 29 juin 2013<br>
<br>
Le GRETSI et le GdR ISIS organisent depuis 2006 une École d'Été
annuelle en traitement<br>
du signal et des images. Ouverte à toute personne intéressée
(académiques ou industriels),<br>
elle a pour but de présenter une synthèse ainsi que les avancées les
plus récentes dans<br>
un thème de recherche d'actualité. Cette École d'Été a lieu tous les
ans et a pour cadre<br>
le magnifique village de Peyresq, perché à 1500 mètres d'altitude

<p class="MsoNormal" xsscleaned="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt"> <span
xsscleaned="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB" xml:lang="EN-GB"
lang="EN-GB">My aim was to present a lucid view at the present
stage of nonsmooth analysis in terms<br>
of subdifferentials, coderivatives and geometrical notions.
Unlike <span xsscleaned="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>some other
books, I did<br>
not rule out some approaches because of personal preferences. I
endeavoured to present<br>
the advantages and weaknesses of each of the theories, so that
the reader can choose<br>
the concept that seems to be the most appropriate for the
problem at hand. I think that<br>
if there were an approach with all the expected qualities, the
field would be called smooth<br>
rather than nonsmooth. Still I consider that there is an
undeniable unity among the<br>
existing approaches.</span> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" xsscleaned="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt"> <span
xsscleaned="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB" xml:lang="EN-GB"
lang="EN-GB">Also, I believe that it is useful to present the
foundations of the field: differential calculus,<br>
convex analysis and methods relying on functional analysis and
metric estimates. Each of<br>
these three topics forms a chapter of the book which can serve
for a separate course.</span> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" xsscleaned="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt"> <span
xsscleaned="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB" xml:lang="EN-GB"
lang="EN-GB">These chapters also prepare for the introduction of
important ideas such as fuzziness and<br>
penalization. The fact that the most general calculus rules in
convex analysis are in terms<br>
of fuzziness or approximations clearly justifies the
excruciating importance of this character<br>
of several subdifferentials.</span> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" xsscleaned="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt"> <span
xsscleaned="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB" xml:lang="EN-GB"
lang="EN-GB">Because these preliminaries form about a half of
the book, in order to provide a book with<br>
a reasonable size, I had to sacrifice applications but the most
direct ones. I also had to cut<br>
almost half of the references. That might be a disappointment to
you just as it has been<br>
a painful task for me.</span> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" xsscleaned="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt"> <span
xsscleaned="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB" xml:lang="EN-GB"
lang="EN-GB">Please, do not hesitate to mention to me the
omissions, deficiencies and mistakes you may<br>
detect. That will be much more useful to me (and the readers in
case a second edition occurs)<br>
than compliments. I already observed some typos (for instance in
the exponent in<br>
Krasnoselski’s inequality and in the numbering of the partial
derivatives in the statement of<br>
the Euler-Lagrange condition).</span> But possible omissions,
lacks of credits are more important in<br>
my views.<br>
