In the Zernike Institute Advent Calendar, we are presenting 24 short spotlights in December. In these specials, we highlight PhD students, postdocs, and technicians of our research groups - providing a glimpse into their typical day at work. In Episode 3 meet Dr. Lyes Khacef.
Lyes Khacef has received the first thesis prize from the STIC doctoral school in Université Côte d’Azur. The thesis discusses the modeled self-organizing artificial neural networks thanks to a mechanism of structural plasticity to create or cut connections, as well as a mechanism of synaptic plasticity which allows to modify the strength of these connections.
Le travail de Lyes a pour but d'explorer de nouvelles méthodes d'IA bio-inspirée. Il s'inspire du fonctionnement du cerveau humain, et plus précisément de la plasticité corticale, l'une de ses principales caractéristiques qui nous permet d'apprendre et de nous adapter.
