This course presents basic notions on instabilities and turbulence. We try to be as progressive as possible and to base our presentation on analyses of real experiments and real flows. We review few mathematical methods to analyze nonlinear systems in terms of instabilities. The students have to use their new knowledge to run and analyze numerical simulations of very simple systems. We then study some of the most important physical mechanisms for fluid instabilities and the corresponding criteria. We quickly present a zoology of common fluid instabilities and discuss the mechanisms and the possible technical implications. We give a broad introduction on turbulence and describe few fundamental methods and results, in particular the Richardson cascade, the Reynolds decomposition and the Kolmogorov spectra.

Teaching program:

1. General introduction

- Instabilities and turbulence, interest?

- Reynolds experiment and Reynolds number

- Incompressible Navier-Stokes equations: diffusion and advection

- An example: the wake of a cylinder

2. Instabilities and transition to turbulence

- Systems with few degrees of freedom

- Fluid instability mechanisms and conditions

- Other flows examples

3. Effects of variable density

- Boussinesq approximation

- Unstable stratification, Rayleigh-Taylor instability

- Rayleigh-Benard instability (Ra, Nu)

- Stable stratification, Kelvin-Helmoltz instability and Richardson number

4. Turbulence

- Introduction, Richardson cascade

- Average and Reynolds decomposition

- Experimental and numerical methods to study turbulence

- Statistical descriptions

For this course, the students have to write in LaTeX a report on their practical work. Thus, we spent some time for a first gentle introduction of this tool widely used in scientific academia.

1- Fournir un panorama assez vaste des applications de la dynamique des fluides neutres (hydrodynamique ou HD) en astrophysique. Seront ainsi abordés:

- l’équilibre des systèmes auto-gravitants, l’effondrement gravitationnel et la formation des disques circumstellaires

- les écoulements supersoniques et points critiques associés, la formation des chocs et ondes de détonation (supernovae)    

- la théorie des disques d’accrétion turbulents autour des trous noirs et des étoiles en formation

2- Fournir les hypothèses et les équations maitresses de la magnéto-hydrodynamique (ou MHD), qui est une description monofluide des plasmas. Quelques applications astrophysiques seront ensuite abordées:
 - ondes magnétiques d'Alfven et magnétosoniques    

- bouclier magnétique s’opposant à l’effondrement des nuages

Nous aborderons également, en fin de cours, ce qui est la certainement l’expérience de physique la plus longue de l’humanité, aux conséquences potentiellement majeures sur le devenir de nos sociétés, à savoir la production d’énergie électrique par fusion thermonucléaire contrôlée (ITER et autres machines à confinement magnétique).  

Au-delà de la compréhension nouvelle de certains phénomènes en astrophysique, ce cours illustre la puissance descriptive des plasmas (ici HD ou MHD). A l'issue de ce cours, des concepts avancés tels que les caractéristiques dans des écoulements hyperboliques, les méthodes perturbatives dans des régimes complexes, la turbulence ou encore les ondes dans des milieux inhomogènes auront été abordés.

Cette UE propose une découverte de la recherche en mathématiques à travers l'étude d'un sujet décrivant un résultat ou une théorie mathématique, avec lesquels l'étudiant.e devra se familiariser afin de se les approprier et de pouvoir en rendre compte par un rapport écrit et un exposé oral.

En pratique, une liste de sujets est proposée au cours du premier semestre. Chaque étudiant.e sélectionne dans cette liste quatre sujets, classés de 1 à 4, puis le responsable de la formation attribue à chaque étudiant.e un sujet figurant dans la mesure du possible parmi ces quatre-là. Dès les attributions connues, chaque étudiant.e contacte l'auteur.e de son sujet, qui va l'encadrer pour ce travail tout au long du second semestre. Une fois que l'encadrant.e a présenté à l'étudiant.e le sujet et les détails du travail attendu, le binôme se rencontre régulièrement afin que l'étudiant.e puisse rendre compte de l'avancement de son travail et progresser dans celui-ci.

Le TER donne lieu à la rédaction d'un rapport écrit, rédigé en utilisant le logiciel LaTeX, comportant obligatoirement un résumé et une bibliographie, et à une soutenance orale d'une durée de 20 à 30 minutes, souvent suivie de questions, devant un jury qui comprend l'encadrant.e. Le rapport et la soutenance contribuent conjointement à l'évaluation du travail réalisé.

La première partie de l'UE sera consacrée à la théorie des chaînes de Markov en temps discret et à espace d'états discret ; il s'agira donc de couvrir un chapitre initialement prévu au programme de l'UE Probabilités du premier semestre que le manque de temps et les lacunes des étudiant·es concernant le programme de L3 empêchent régulièrement de traiter.
La deuxième partie constituera une introduction à la mécanique statistique, plus particulièrement à l'étude mathématique des transitions de phase dans des modèles sur réseau. On étudiera en détail le cas de référence du modèle d'Ising, l'un des modèles les plus célèbres et les plus étudiés dans ce domaine.
Si le temps le permet, une troisième partie présentera une introduction à des modèles de chaînes de Markov indexées par les arbres (percolation et modèle d'Ising sur des arbres).

Insertion dans le cursus de master Une partie du contenu de cette UE est au programme de l'agrégation : traitement complet des chaînes de Markov dans ce cadre, espérances conditionnelles, éventuelle\-ment un peu de martingales (convergence de martingales rétrogrades pour l'existence de mesures en volume infini à travers les équations DLR), topologies faibles, etc.
Il peut également servir à renouveler les exemples mobilisables dans ce contexte pour l'option A : conditionnements spatiaux, situations de TCL/non-TCL pour des variables aléatoires non indépendantes (convergence ou non de la magnétisation moyenne à haute température ou à basse température), dynamique de Glauber et algorithme de Metropolis-Hastings, etc.
Enfin, il vise à aborder, spécialement dans la troisième partie, des situations de recherche actuelles.

Un des résultats clés du cours sera le fait que le Laplacien avec condition de Dirichlet dans un domaine Ω borné et lisse de R^d admet une base hilbertienne de fonctions propres régulières e_n vérifiant -Δ e_n = λ _ne_n, où λ _n → +∞ avec n∈ N.
Ce résultat sera un prétexte à l'étude de différents concepts : opérateurs compacts, ou à résolvante compacte, dans les espaces de Hilbert et leur "diagonalisation", espaces de Sobolev H^k( Ω) et leurs propriétés (injections de Sobolev par exemple), régularité des solutions d'EDP elliptiques.

Dans un second temps, nous souhaitons aussi présenter des applications à la théorie spectrale des opérateurs emblématiques de la mécanique quantique.
Le formalisme mathématique de la mécanique quantique sere présenté, puis nous discuterons le spectre de certains opérateurs de Schrödinger -Δ +V tels l'oscillateur harmonique ou le Laplacien sur le tore. Nous aborderons également l'existence et les propriétés de fonctions propres associées à la plus basse valeur propre d'un opérateur de Schrödinger en fonction du potentiel V via l'approche variationnelle.

Plus généralement, nous présenterons la caractérisation du spectre d'opérateurs par le min-max des quotients de Rayleigh, ainsi que le théorème de Courant sur le nombre de domaines nodaux des fonctions propres du Laplacien, et l'asymptotique de Weyl pour les valeurs propres sur un domaine. Des exemples simples de problèmes d'optimisation spectrale pourront aussi être présentés en TD, en fonction du temps disponible.

The aim of this course is to learn how to use the structure of graphs and other discrete objects to obtain general results on them, and in particular efficient algorithms solving important problems.

We will cover the following topics:

• Structural Graph Theory: we will study the structure of important graph classes with nice algorithmic properties (planar graphs, interval graphs, comparability graphs, ...) and show several concrete problems that can be solved thanks to their structural properties.
• Graph Drawing: with the rise of Big Data, representing huge data sets is a fundamental challenge. Efficient ways to represent large graphs will be presented.
• Codes: we will see various codes (dominating, locating, identifying, ...) in graphs and their applications.
• Extremal combinatorics: the typical question in this field is "what global condition do we need to impose in some graph in order to make sure that some nice structure appears locally?" We will introduce a powerful tool called "the probabilistic method", an show how it can be applied to solve problems in this important area of research.

Presenting models and tools for solving problems of company location and transport management in a supply chain.

Description:

This course presents two aspects: strategic design of a distribution network in a supply chain and tactical-operational aspects of network management.

For each aspect the course develops two key points:

• in network design, the choice of location and the establishment of services (production site, warehouse, logistics platform) and the synthesis of the transport network (connections / roads between production sites, warehouses, logistics centres)
• in network management, planning and modes of distribution transport (planning delivery rounds, number and types of vehicles).

For each of the three problem areas: location, delivery rounds and network design, students will study both modelling and techniques for accurate resolution (Branch-and-Bound) plus techniques for approximate resolutions (Lagrangian relaxation , metaheuristics) and how they are set up in commercial software (OPL-CPLEX Studio, Excel solver), or free software (COIN, lp-solve) or ad-hoc.

Evaluation :

Individual written exam (1/2 of the final mark) and group project (1/2 of the final mark).

Today, parallel computing is omnipresent across a large spectrum of computing platforms, from processor cores or GPUs up to Supercomputers and Cloud platforms. The largest Supercomputers gather millions of processing units and are heading towards Exascale (a quintillion or 10^18 flops - http://top500.org). If parallel processing was initially targeting scientific computing, it is now part of many domains like Big Data analytics and Deep Learning. But making an efficient use of these parallel resources requires a deep understanding of architectures, systems, parallel programming models, and parallel algorithms.

Overview:

The class is organized around weekly lectures, discussions and help time. The presented materials that will be available each week on the class web page. To get practical experience and good understanding of the main concepts the students are expected to develop short programs and experiments. Students will also have to prepare a presentation or a written report on research articles. Students will have access to Grid'5000 parallel machines and the SimGrid simulator for experiments.

This class is organized around 2 main blocks:

Overview of parallel systems:

1. • Introduction to parallelism from GPU to supercomputers.
   • Hardware and system considerations for parallel processing (multi-core architectures, process and thread handling, cache efficiency, remote data access, atomic instructions)
   • Parallel programming: message passing, one-sided communications, task-based programming, work stealing based runtimes (MPI, Cilk, TBB, OpenMP).
   • Modeling of parallel programs and platforms. Locality, granularity, memory space, communications.
   • Parallel algorithms, collective communications, topology aware algorithms.
   • Scheduling: list algorithms; partitioning techniques. Application to resource management (PBS, LSF, SGE, OAR).
   • Large scale scientific computing: parallelization of Lagrangian and Eulerian solvers, parallel data analytics and scientific visualization.
   • AI and HPC: how parallelism is used at different levels to accelerate machine learning and deep learning using supercomputers.

Functional parallel programming:

We propose to study a clean and modern approach to the design of parallel algorithms: functional programming. Functional languages are known to provide a different and cleaner programming experience by allowing a shift of focus from "how to do" on "what to do".
If you take for example a simple dot product between two vectors. In c language you might end up with:

unsigned int n = length(v1); double s = 0.0; for (unsigned int i = 0 ; i < n ; i++) { s += v1[i] * v2[i]; }

In python however you could write:

return sum(e1*e2 for e1, e2 in zip(v1, v2))

You can easily notice that the c language code displayed here is highly sequential with a data-flow dependence on the i variable. It intrinsically contains an ordering of operations because it tells you how to do things to obtain the final sum. On the other end the python code exhibits no dependencies at all. It does not tell you how to compute the sum but just what to compute: the sum of all products.

In this course we will study how to express parallel operations in a safe and performant way. The main point is to study parallel iterators and their uses but we will also consider classical parallel programming schemes like divide and conquer. We will both study the theoretical complexity of different parallel algorithms and practice programming and performance analysis on real machines.
All applications will be developed in the RUST programming language around the Rayon parallel programming library.
No previous knowledge of the rust language is required as we will introduce it gradually during the course. You need however to be proficient in at least one low level language (typically C or C++)

This course introduces the field of MAS, various theoretical aspects (agent architectures, reasoning, interactions, game theory, social choice, etc), as well as practical applications from recent research. The focus is mostly on agent-based social simulation, and how to integrate psychological aspects in agents (so-called “human factors”: emotions, biases…) to make them more human-like and realistic. Applications discussed include epidemics modelling, computational economy, crisis management, urban planning, serious games, etc. The practical part of the course comprises several tutorials with various agent-based modelling platforms (in particular GAMA and Netlogo), scientific papers discussions, and analysis and/or extension of existing models.

Modern computing increasingly takes advantage of large amounts of distributed data and knowledge. This is grounded on theoretical principles borrowing to several fields of computer science such as programming languages, data bases, structured documentation, logic and artificial intelligence. The goal of this course is to present some of them, the problems that they solve and those that they uncover. The course considers two perspectives on data and knowledge: interpretation (what they mean), analysis (what they reveal) and processing (how can they be traversed efficiently and transformed safely).

The course offers a semantic perspective on distributed knowledge. Distributed knowledge may come from data sources using different ontologies on the semantic web, autonomous software agents learning knowledge or social robots interacting with different interlocutors. The course adopts a synthetic view on these. It first presents principles of the semantics of knowledge representation (RDF, OWL). Ontology alignments are then introduced to reduce the heterogeneity between distributed knowledge and their exploitation for answering federated queries is presented. A practical way for cooperating agents to evolve their knowledge is cultural knowledge evolution that is then illustrated. Finally, the course defines dynamic epistemic logics as a way to model the communication of knowledge and beliefs.

The course also introduces a perspective on programming language foundations, algorithms and tools for processing structured information, and in particular tree-shaped data. It consists in an introduction to relevant theoretical tools with an application to NoSQL (not only SQL) and XML technologies in particular. Theories and algorithmic toolboxes such as fundamentals of tree automata and tree logics are introduced, with applications to practical problems found for extracting information. Applications include efficient query evaluation, memory-efficient validation of document streams, robust type-safe processing of documents, static analysis of expressive queries, and static type-checking of programs manipulating structured information. The course also aims at presenting challenges, important results, and open issues in the area.

The course aims to provide the fundamental basis for a sound scientific methodology of experimental evaluation in computer science. This lecture emphasizes on methodological aspects of measurement and on the statistics needed to analyze computer systems, human-computer interaction systems, and machine learning systems. We first sensibilize the audience to reproducibility issues related to empirical research in computer science as well as to ethical and scientific integrity aspects. Then we present tools that help address the aforementioned issues and we give the audience the basis of probabilities and statistics required to develop sound experiment designs. The content of the lecture is therefore both theoretical and practical, illustrated by a lot of case studies and practical sessions. The goal is not to provide analysis recipes or techniques that researchers can blindly apply but to make students develop critical thinking and understand some simple (and possibly not-so-simple) tools so that they can both readily use and explore later on.

The course is divided in two complementary parts: distributed systems and data management.

Part 1: Distributed systems

Summary

Distributed systems are omnipresent. They are formed by a set of computing devices, interconnected by a network, that collaborate to perform a task. Distributed systems execute on a wide range of infrastructures: from Cloud datacenters to wireless sensor networks.

The goal of this course is to study the main algorithms used at the core of Distributed systems. These algorithms must be efficient and robust. An algorithm is efficient when it sustains a high level of performance. Performance can be measured using various metrics such as throughput, latency, response time. An algorithm is robust when it is able to operate despite the occurrence of various types of (network and/or machine) and attacks.

Content

During the course, we will cover several topics that are listed below:

• Event-driven formalisms for distributed algorithms
• Basic abstractions: processes, links
• Failure detector algorithms
• Leader election algorithms
• Broadcasting algorithms
• Distributed shared memory algorithms
• Consensus algorithms
• Epidemic algorithms
• Performance models for distributed systems

Part 2: Data management

Summary

The ability to process large amounts of data is key to both industry and research today. As computing systems are getting larger, they generate more data that need to be analyzed to extract knowledge.

Data management infrastructures are growing fast, leading to the creation of large data centers and federations of data centers. Suitable software infrastructures should be used to store and process data in this context. Big Data software systems are built to take advantage of a large set of distributed resources to efficiently process massive amounts of data while being able to cope with failures that are frequent at such a scale.

In addition to the amount of data to be processed, the other main challenge that such Big Data systems need to deal with is time. For some use cases, the earlier the results of a data analysis is obtained, the more valuable the result is. Some Big Data systems especially target stream processing where data are processed in real time.

Through lectures and practical sessions, this course provides an overview of the software systems that are used to store and process data at large scale. The following topics will be covered:

• Map-Reduce programming model
• In-memory data processing
• Stream processing (data movement and processing)
• Large scale distributed data storage (distributed file systems, NoSQL databases)

Throughout the lectures, the challenges associated with performance and fault tolerance will also be discussed.

Statistical learning is about the construction and study of systems that can automatically learn from data. With the emergence of massive datasets commonly encountered today, the need for powerful machine learning is of acute importance. Examples of successful applications include effective web search, anti-spam software, computer vision, robotics, practical speech recognition, and a deeper understanding of the human genome. This course gives an introduction to this exciting field. In the first part, we will introduce basic techniques such as logistic regression, multilayer perceptrons, nearest neighbor approaches, both from a theoretical and methodological point of views. In the second part, we will focus on more advanced techniques such as kernel methods, which is a versatile tool to represent data, in combination with (un)supervised learning techniques that are agnostic to the type of data that is learned from. The learning techniques that will be covered include regression, classification, clustering and dimension reduction. We will cover both the theoretical underpinnings of kernels, as well as a series of kernels that are important in practical applications. Finally we will touch upon topics of active research, such as large-scale kernel methods and the use of kernel methods to develop theoretical foundations of deep learning models.

Machine Learning is one of the key areas of Artificial Intelligence and it concerns the study and the development of quantitative models that enables a computer to perform tasks without being explicitly programmed to do them. Learning in this context is hence to recognize complex forms and to make intelligent decisions. Given all existing entries, the difficulty of this task lies in the fact that all possible decisions is usually very complex to enumerate. To get around that, machine learning algorithms are designed in order to gain knowledge on the problem to be addressed based on a limited set of observed data extracted from this problem. To illustrate this principle, consider the supervised learning task, where the prediction function, which infers a predicted output for a given input, is learned over a finite set of labeled training examples, where each instance of this set is a pair constituted of a vector characterizing an observation in a given vector space, and an associated desired response for that instance (also called desired output). After the training step, the function returned by the algorithm is sought to give predictions on new examples, which have not been used in the learning process, with the lowest probability of error. The underlying assumption in this case is that the examples are, in general, representative of the prediction problem on which the function will be applied. We expect that the learning algorithm produces a function that will have a good generalization performance and not the one that is able to perfectly reproduce the outputs associated to the training examples. Guarantees of learnability of this process were studied in the theory of machine learning largely initiated by Vladimir Vapnik. These guarantees are dependent on the size of the training set and the complexity of the class of functions where the algorithm searches for the prediction function. Emerging technologies, particularly those related to the development of Internet, reshaped the domain of machine learning with new learning frameworks that have been studied to better tackle the related problems. One of these frameworks concerns the problem of learning with partially labeled data, or semi-supervised learning, which development is motivated by the effort that has to be made to construct labeled training sets for some problems, while large amount of unlabeled data can be gathered easily for these problems. The inherent assumption, in this case, is that unlabeled data contain relevant information about the task that has to be solved, and that it is a natural idea to try to extract this information so as to provide the learning algorithm more evidence. From these facts were born a number of works that intended to use a small amount of labeled data simultaneously with a large amount of unlabeled data to learn a prediction function.

The intent of this course is to propose a broad introduction to the field of Machine Learning, including discussions of each of the major frameworks, supervised, unsupervised, semi-supervised and reinforcement learning.

Causality is at the core of our vision of the world and of the way we reason. It has long been recognized as an important concept and was already mentioned in the ancient Hindu scriptures: “Cause is the effect concealed, effect is the cause revealed”. Even Democritus famously proclaimed that he would rather discover a causal relation than be the king of presumably the wealthiest empire of his time. Nowadays, causality is seen as an ideal way to explain observed phenomena and to provide tools to reason on possible outcomes of interventions and what-if experiments, which are central to counterfactual reasoning, as ‘‘what if this patient had been given this particular treatment?’’

This course is related to mathematical and statistical methods which are very used in supervised learning.

It contains two parts.

In the first part, we will focus on parametric modeling. Starting with the classical linear regression, we will describe several families of estimators that work when considering high-dimensional data, where the classical least square estimator does not work. Model selection and model assessment will particularly be described.

In the second part, we shall focus on nonparametric methods. We will present several tools and ingredients to predict the future value of a variable. We shall focus on methods for non parametric regression from independent to correlated training dataset. We shall also study some methods to avoid the overfitting in supervised learning.

This course will be followed by practical sessions with the R software.

The automatic processing of languages, whether written or spoken, has always been an essential part of artificial intelligence. This domain has encouraged the emergence of new uses thanks to the arrival in the industrial field of many technologies from research (spell-checkers, speech synthesis, speech recognition, machine translation, …). In this course, we present the most recent advances and challenges for research. We will discuss discourse analysis whether written or spoken, text clarification, automatic speech transcription and automatic translation, in particular recent advances with neural models.

Information access and retrieval is now ubiquitous in everyday life through search engines, recommendation systems, or technological and commercial surveillance, in many application domains either general or specific like health for instance. In this course, we will cover Information retrieval basics, information retrieval evaluation, models for information retrieval, medical information retrieval, and deep learning for multimedia indexing and retrieval

Part 1: Access Control, or how to prevent unauthorized people from entering or accessing a system?

This part deals with:

• Cryptology for authentication and trust;
  • security needs : confidentiality, availability, integrity, non-repudiation (CAI/DICP);
  • cryptology primitives : private and public key ; trusted infrastructure (PKI and ledgers).
  • zero-knowledge protocols; secret sharing and multiparty computation / or Practical work with Open SSL
• Access control mechanisms (MAC, DAC, RBAC, ABAC) and their implementations
• The detection and remediation of security breaches such as intrusions and insider attacks
• The deployment of control filters in applications and proxies.

The presented approach is built on the model-driven security paradigm (MDS). It refers to the process of modeling security requirements at a high level of abstraction, and generating technical security implementations. Security models are transformed into enforceable security rules including the run-time security management (e.g. entitlements/authorisations). Three labs are planned:

• B4MSecure: we will apply a formal language with animation and model-checking facilities to identify security breaches in Access Control policies.
• Snort: in this practical session you will set a local environment to simulate two machines, the target machine and the attacker. You will learn how to create firewall rules, monitor your network and how to react when an attack is detected.
• Metasploit: you will discover technology intelligence for vulnerabilities through a practical session where you will reproduce an exploit to hack and take control over a web-based server.

Part 2: Overview of modern attacks on systems, protocols, and networks and countermeasures

This part is devoted to modern attacks carried out on the Internet scale, in particular attacks on the DNS system (Domain Name System), such as cache or zone poisoning attacks, reflection and amplification of DDoS attacks (Distributed Denial of Service), IP spoofing - the root cause of DDoS attacks, botnets (e.g., Mirai), domain generation algorithms used for command-and-control communications, modern malware (e.g., Emotet trojan, Avalanche), spam, phishing, and business email compromise (BEC) scams.

The module will discuss preventative measures and security protocols to fight modern attacks, such as DDoS protection services, IP source address validation (SAV) known as BCP 38, Sender Policy Framework, and DMARC protocols as the first line of defense against email spoofing and BEC fraud, and DNSSEC to prevent DNS manipulation attacks. It will also discuss large-scale vulnerability measurements (a case study of the zone poisoning attack) and the challenges of deploying current security technologies by the system and network operators.

This part will be concluded with a practical team assignment in which students will be divided into groups and will have to configure a secure system in a real-world environment. The goal is to secure their system against the various types of discussed attacks and exploit other groups' systems.
