University Paris-Dauphine
University Paris-Dauphine : LAMSADE is a research center established in 1974. The initial research subjects, decision aiding and operations research, have later been complemented by decision-oriented computer science, decision theory and AI. The research conducted within LAMSADE applies to many and various areas going from transportation problems to scheduling, from assessing calls for tenders or the comfort in train carriages to the assessment of social acceptability of new technologies, from telecommunication networks to geographical information systems. Cazenave Tristan is a specialist of Monte Carlo Search methods for combinatorial problems, deep learning and game.
University Paris-Dauphine participants: Tristan Cazenave (PI).
Orange
Orange SA is one of the biggest global telecommunication operators. Orange Labs is a worldwide R&D network of the Orange Group. With over 3,800 researchers, engineers and scientists, it produces around 500 inventions patented each year (and over 8,400 patents filed). The SENSE department is the social sciences laboratory inside Orange Labs. It counts some 60 researchers (including 20 PhD candidates and postdocs) in sociology of communication and innovation, economics, geography, ergonomics and statistics. The department uses a large scope of methodologies, ranging from direct observation and qualitative studies, sociological surveys and panels to large scale social network analysis, and is tightly connected to academia in France and abroad engaging frequently in collaborative research. Orange Labs brings to the project an expertise in mobile phone data collection and pre-processing, human mobility and communication analysis, and mobile phone data anonymization.
Orange participants: Nancy Perrot (PI), Guillaume Fraysse, Yannick Carlinet, Mustapha Bouhtou
Carnegie Mellon University
LIONS research group, Carnegie Mellon University: LIONS group, which is represented by Carlee Joe-Wong (AP and head), has big experience in FL, distributed learning, edge computing, game theory, data network and optimization.
