Présentation

Maasai is a research project-team at Inria Sophia-Antipolis, working on the models and algorithms of Artificial Intelligence. This is a joint research team with the laboratories LJAD (Mathematics, UMR 7351) and I3S (Computer Science, UMR 7271) of Université Côte d’Azur. The team is made of both mathematicians and computer scientists in order to propose innovative learning methodologies, addressing real-world problems, that are both theoretically sound, scalable and affordable.


Axes de recherche

Artificial intelligence has become a key element in most scientific fields and is now part of everyone life thanks to the digital revolution. Statistical, machine and deep learning methods are involved in most scientific applications where a decision has to be made, such as medical diagnosis, autonomous vehicles or text analysis. The recent and highly publicized results of artificial intelligence should not hide the remaining and new problems posed by modern data. Indeed, despite the recent improvements due to deep learning, the nature of modern data have brought specific issues. For instance, learning with high-dimensional, atypical (networks, functions, …), dynamic, or heterogeneous data remains difficult for theoretical and algorithmic reasons. The recent establishment of deep learning has also open new questions such as: How to learn in an unsupervised or weakly-supervised context with deep architectures? How to design a deep architecture for a given situation? How to learn with evolving and corrupted data?
 
To address these questions, the Maasai team focuses on topics such as unsupervised learning, theory of deep learning, adaptive and robust learning, and learning with high-dimensional or heterogeneous data. The Maasai team conducts a research that links practical problems, that may come from industry or other scientific fields, with the theoretical aspects of Mathematics and Computer Science. In this spirit, the Maasai project-team is totally aligned with the “Core elements of AI” axis of the Institut 3IA Côte d’Azur. It is worth noticing that the team hosts two 3IA chairs of the Institut 3IA Côte d’Azur.

Relations industrielles et internationales

The team is collaborating with several team and universities abroad, such as University Dublin College, University of Washington, Technical University of Danemark or Université Laval Québec. The team is also deeply involved in collaborations with industry, through CIFRE Ph.D. in particular.
