Teaching

François Le Gland gives

• a course on Kalman filtering and hidden Markov models , at université de Rennes 1, within the SISEA (signal, image, systèmes embarqués, automatique, école doctorale MATISSE) track of the master in electronical engineering and telecommunications,

• a 3rd year course on Bayesian filtering and particle approximation , at ENSTA (école nationale supérieure de techniques avancées), Paris, within the systems and control module,

• a 3rd year course on linear and nonlinear filtering , at ENSAI (école nationale de la statistique et de l'analyse de l'information), Ker Lann, within the statistical engineering track,

• and a 3rd year course on hidden Markov models , at Télécom Bretagne, Brest.

He has also animated a set of training sessions on particle filtering, with an application to video multi–object tracking, to engineers from Canon Research France.

Patrick Héas gives a course on statistical image analysis at université de Rennes 1, within the SISEA (signal, image, systèmes embarqués, automatique, école doctorale MATISSE) track of the master in electronical engineering and telecommunications.

Valérie Monbet gives several courses on data analysis, on time series, and on mathematical statistics, all at université de Rennes 1 within the master on statistics and econometrics. She is also the director of the master on statistics and econometry at université de Rennes 1.
