Scientific Expertise

Scikit-Mine. The team recently secured a two-year engineer position (Inria ADT grant) for working on MDL-based pattern mining algorithms. The goal of the project is to design a modern pattern mining library fully compatible with scikit-learn (the major data science library). The library will contain major MDL-based pattern mining algorithms of the state of the art, including those developed in the team (periodic pattern mining). The project will start in fall 2020.
