Keynote talks

  • Elisa Fromont, Centre de recherche IRISA, « Explicabilité pour la Classification de Séries Temporelles »

Après avoir brièvement redonné les motivations inhérentes à l’explication des méthodes d’apprentissage automatique en général et d’apprentissage profond en particulier; ainsi qu’un état de l’art des méthodes actuelles, je proposerais quelques contributions que mes étudiants et moi avons pu avoir sur le sujet, notamment pour pour la classification de séries temporelles univariées et multivariées (Adversarial Regularization for Explainable-by-Design Time Series Classification – ICTAI 2020; A Performance-Explainability Framework to Benchmark Machine Learning Methods: Application to Multivariate Time Series Classifiers – IJCAI Workshop on Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI), 2020; XCM: An Explainable Convolutional Neural Network for Multivariate Time Series Classification. CoRR abs/2009.04796 (2020))

Abstract: A brief overview of 5G followed by a discussion on where 5G research is going. She will share her experience working on 5G with industry and operators in Canada and in France and conclude by a short description of what is emerging as the early concepts behind 6G.

Bio: Catherine Rosenberg is a Professor in Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Waterloo since 2004. Since June 2010, she holds the  Canada Research Chair in the Future Internet. She was elected an IEEE Fellow for contributions to resource management in wireless and satellite networks in 2011 and was elected a Fellow of the Canadian Academy of Engineering in 2013. In April 2018, she became the Cisco Research Chair in 5G Systems. Part of her career was in industry, in Alcatel in France, in AT&T Bell Labs in the USA and in Nortel Networks in the UK. She held faculty positions in Ecole Polytechnique, Montreal and Purdue university. Her research expertise lies in wireless networks, multimedia, traffic engineering and energy systems.

  • Pierre-Yves Strub, École Polytechnique, LIX (Laboratoire d’Informatique de l’X), « High-Assurance and High-Speed Cryptographic Implementations« 

The security of communications heavily relies on cryptography. For decades, mathematicians have invested an immense effort in providing cryptography that is built on firm mathematical foundations. This has lead to a collection of cryptographic primitives whose correctness can be proved by drawing on results from branches of mathematics such as complex analysis, algebraic geometry, representation theory and number theory. A stated goal of recent competitions for cryptographic standards is to gain trust from the broad cryptography community through open and transparent processes. These processes generally involve open-source reference and optimized implementations for
performance evaluation, rigorous security analyses for provable security evaluation and, often, informal evaluation of security against side-channel attacks. These artefacts contribute to building trust in candidates, and ultimately in the new standard. However, the disconnect between implementations and security analyses is a major cause for concern.

In this talk, I will present the Jasmin-EasyCrypt project that explores how formal approaches could eliminate this disconnect and bring together implementations (most importantly, efficient implementations) and software artefacts, in particular machine-checked proofs, supporting security analyses.
