Le PhD Comic d’hier mérite un commentaire. Il nous rappelle aux étudiants gradués combien parfois l’élément « Work on thesis » de leur « TODO list » (liste des choses à faire) demeure sur la liste sans jamais se faire cocher (sous-entendu sans jamais avoir l’impression d’y travailler non plus). Prenez deux minutes pour le regarder. Est-ce sur votre […]
There is a very interesting Guest Post on Daniel Lemire’s blog about how to maximize your impact as a researcher.
Methods, Neurons, Networks and Behaviors
June 13 - July 2, 2010. Okinawa, Japan
http://www.irp.oist.jp/ocnc/2010
The aim of the Okinawa Computational Neuroscience Course is to provide opportunities for young researchers with theoretical backgrounds to learn the latest advances in neuroscience, and for those with experimental backgrounds to have hands-on experience in computational modeling.
We invite graduate students and postgraduate researchers […]

I just found the web page of Heather Piwowar who is interested in data sharing in science. Here its publication page.
Cette année, les conferences ICML (International Conference on Machine Learning), UAI (Conference on Uncertainty in Artificial Intelligence) et COLT (Annual Conference on Learning Theory) auront lieu à Montréal du 14 au 21 juin. En plus, à ne pas manquer, il y aura un symposium multidisciplinaire sur l’apprentissage par renforcement (Multidisciplinary Symposium on Reinforcement Learning). Il […]

En général, j’essaie de ne pas simplement rapporter des propos trouvés ailleurs, mais la définition d’un chercheur de Jacques de Champlain paru dans le Journal Forum d’hier mérite d’être lue.
Un chercheur, c’est une personne à la recherche de nouvelles connaissances comme l’explorateur de jadis était à la recherche de nouveaux horizons et de nouveaux mondes. […]
I just read Teaching Natural Computation by Johnson [1], a very interesting paper about the Computer Scientist B.Sc. curriculum. Is computer science just about what computers can compute, or is about computation in general (a bit like mathematic)? I think he is raising a very good question. The issue about natural computation is two folds.
First, […]
