Inria Associate Teams Not Involved in an Inria International Labs

Benjamin Guedj and Christophe Biernacki began a two years collaboration as “Equipes associées nord-européennes” with the Irish team “INSIGHT”. The Centre for Data Analytics INSIGHT is about the size of Inria Lille - Nord Europe and is the main Irish research facility in Statistics and Machine Learning. It is focused on the next generation of machine learning (ML) and statistics (Stat) algorithms that can operate on large-scale, dynamic data.
