Awards

  • D. Calandriello won the best master thesis award from the Italian Association for Artificial Intelligence for his thesis "Sparse Multi-Task Reinforcement Learning". The association awards the prize to the best master thesis focused on AI in Italy in 2014. The thesis was written under the co-supervision of A. Lazaric during a year spent in SequeL

  • F. Guillou won the ACM RecSys challenge (on recommendation systems)

  • P. Chainais won an IBM Faculty Award for the creation of the option DAD (Data Analysis and Decision making) at Ecole Centrale Lille (10000$ have been given to EC Lille). The partnership with IBM about Big Data is getting stronger and new perspectives are coming.
