Isabeau Prémont-Schwarz , professeur agrégé, Dép. d'informatique et de génie logiciel, Université Laval Malgré ses succès spectaculaires, l'intelligence artificielle conserve au moins deux grandes faiblesses par rapport à l'intelligence humaine. D'abord, son appétit pour les données : là où un humain apprend une nouvelle tâche à partir de quelques exemples, les systèmes actuels en exigent des quantités considérables. Ensuite, la fragilité de ses réussites : quand une IA performe, c'est le plus souvent dans le domaine étroit où elle a été entraînée, et ses performances s'effondrent dès qu'on s'en éloigne. Cette présentation s'intéresse à la généralisation systématique - cette capacité, omniprésente chez l'humain, à transposer ce qu'on sait à des situations jamais rencontrées. Nous examinerons deux formes de généralisation qui nous sont naturelles mais qui mettent les IA en échec : d'une part, l'adaptation à une nouvelle configuration de l'environnement ; d'autre part, la capacité à traiter une combinaison inédite de facteurs de variation connus. Nous verrons comment ces deux situations résistent aux approches fondées sur l'apprentissage statistique classique, et nous explorerons quelques pistes de solutions pour concevoir des systèmes capables d'une telle généralisation.

Toward Reliable Collaborative Learning in Healthcare: Federated Learning with Adversarial Clients and Privacy Constraints

Rafael Pinot, Professeur junior, département de mathmatique, Sorbonne Université Major scientific discoveries increasingly rely on machine learning to extract knowledge from large datasets collected from multiple sources. This is particularly true in healthcare, where ambitious studies often require access to multicentric patient cohorts. Yet bringing these sensitive data together faces major privacy, legal, and organizational barriers. Federated learning (FL) offers a compelling alternative: learning a global model collectively while keeping data where they are. However, keeping data local is not enough to make collaboration trustworthy. Faulty or malicious participants may send arbitrarily corrupted updates and compromise the learning process. Designing learning algorithms that remain reliable in the presence of such participants is therefore particularly important in critical domains such as healthcare. In this talk, I will introduce the field of Byzantine-robust federated learning and the main challenges it seeks to address. I will present the fundamental ideas behind robust distributed optimization, discuss recent advances in the field, and highlight some of the key open problems that remain. Rafael Pinot is a Junior Professor in the Department of Mathematics at Sorbonne University. He holds a chair in the mathematical foundations of computer and data science within the LPSM research unit and is a founding member of the Responsible AI initiative at the Sorbonne Cluster for Artificial Intelligence (SCAI). From 2021 to 2023, he was a postdoctoral researcher at École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL). He completed his Ph.D. in Computer Science at PSL University (Paris Dauphine) and Paris-Saclay University (CEA LIST) from 2017 to 2020. His research centers on statistical machine learning, with a particular focus on the robustness and privacy of learning algorithms.
