-Our research field include+For a brief description of our main research areas, we mention
  
-  * **Machine Learning**: several  aspects are addressed, from the design of kernel methods to manifold learning and deep learning. Current research include modeling and simulation of spatio-temporal variations and dynamics using manifolds, understanding of the GANs approaches and their link to Optimal Transport, Siamese network for multimodal learning and autoencoders or solving multiclass SVM at the cost of a binary one, dealing with indefinite kernels or large datasets.+  * **Machine learning**: We address several  aspects of machine learning, from the design of kernel methods to manifold learning and deep learning.

-* **Computational geometry** and geometric approximation, where we either approximate distances (e.g., approximate nearest neighbor searching) or the size of the solution (e.g., maximum independent set of a unit disk graph). Current works include the search of dramatic improvements to the complexity of several approximation problems such as polytope membership, nearest neighbor searching, epsilon-kernel, and diameter of a point set, using a hierarchy of Macbeath regions+  * **Geometric approximation**: We resort to approximations to solve geometric problems that would be intractable otherwise. We can either approximate distances (e.g., approximate nearest neighbor searching) or the size of the solution (e.g., maximum independent set of a unit disk graph).
  
-* **Image and Video Processing**, addressed from both a methodological (definition of image analysis methods in nD) and applicative points of view (tracking of ballistics in thermal videos of volcanoes, design of computer assisted maps  for visually impaired people,…)+  * **Computational geometry**: We design algorithms and data structures for numerous geometric problems related to range searchinggeometric graphs, and several other topics. We analyze that asymptotic complexity of these algorithms and also prove lower bounds for the complexity of the problems.
