Older courses

(Due to health reasons, I have not been teaching from April 2022 to June 2023.)

Introductions to machine learning

I have been in charge of a number of courses introducing machine learning to different audiences.

Graduate level, in computer science / mathematics

Graduate level, in geosciences

  • [In French] 30 hours for master students in geosciences, in the M2 STePE-PSL masters, in which I gave 12 hours of lecture (Fall 2020, Fall 2021). [Syllabus 2021 (pdf)]

For undergraduate lecturers in computer science / mathematics

  • [In French] A day-long course for undergraduate lecturers (in classes préparatoires), through the LIESSE society (Spring 2019, Spring 2021). Course website

High-school students

Continuing education

  • I have taught various continuing education courses in machine learning, including at Institut Curie or (from 2018 to 2020) with CentraleSupelec Executive Education or for individual companies. Over the course of one or two days, I propose to introduce participants to various machine learning concepts, in French or in English. The courses can include practical sessions in Python. For examples of practical sessions, see my machine learning notebooks on github.

Online courses with OpenClassrooms
[In French] I have contributed to setting up two paths: Data Scientist an Machine Learning Engineer in collaboration with CentraleSupélec. I have also designed, written and shot four courses:
