The hosting team for this project is the AI-DSCy team (Artificial Intelligence for Data Science and Cybersecurity), led by Pr. M. Nadif, which is part of the Centre Borelli (Université de Paris, Centre Borelli UMR 9010), within the Department of Sciences Fondamentales et Biomédicales at Université de Paris. Centre Borelli is carrying out theoretical and applied research in the areas of mathematics, computer science, machine learning, modeling of complex biophysics systems and neuroscience. The AI-DSCy team research projects focus on latent block models, tri-factorisation, spectral co-clustering and original works consisting in embedding the co-clustering in ensemble methods.
GePhEx partners, who are also member of the AI-DSCy team, share the common objective of developing new learning methods and user-friendly software that can integrate various types of omics data to identify environmental exposures, disease symptoms and altered genes in human complex diseases. The members of AI-DSCy contributing to this project include Pr. M. Nadif, Dr. L. Labiod, and Dr. F. Role, who possess the adequate complementary skills to answer the pluridisciplinary aspects of GePhEx. They have a strong expertise in unsupervised and supervised learning as well as text mining for large amounts of data. They also developed visualization methods for document co-clusters and other text mining analysis outputs that allow graphical model based representations.
