Master 2 Statistique et Science des Données: Lecture
I gave a short lecture (Oct. 2024) introducing Recurrent Neural Networks in Deep Learning. Here is the application notebook on Natural Language Processing, based on a Julia version of the min-char-rnn code, using À la recherche du temps perdu (text file, Marcel Proust) and all of Shakespeare.
Master 1 Statistique et Science des Données: Projects
Since 2023, I have proposed and supervised several small projects for the M1 SSD HAX817X course. Previous projects include:
Comparing statistics of observed weather time series with those generated by climate models over the historical period. (twice)
Weather extremes near nuclear power plants.
Median of Mean estimator: theoretical and empirical properties.
Study and simulations around the paper Were RNNs All We Needed?.

Instructor for "Small Class" tutorials in MAP530: Probability Refresher, intended for 3rd-year engineering and Master 1 students in the X/HEC Data Science for Business program. Four sessions of 3 hours each, both in-person and remote, with groups of around 20 students.
Responsible for the MAA204 course: Introduction to Statistics, intended for 2nd-year Bachelor students. I gave the 2-hour lectures to the 62 students and led one of the three 2-hour tutorials. I used several Julia notebooks, inspired by the excellent book Statistics with Julia: Fundamentals for Data Science, Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence:
Tutorial instructor for MAP361: Aléatoire (Randomness), for first-year engineering students. Here's a notebook used to illustrate the PC3 concepts: PC3

Lecturer at Spectral Methods for Complex Systems Winter School
I participated as a lecturer in the online Winter School Spectral Methods for Complex Systems (January 2019), where I gave an introductory talk. Videos and slides are available. The lecture addressed spectral analysis in finite- and infinite-dimensional dynamical systems.
