On September 2024, we had the opportunity to attend two international conferences related to a segment of our work in artificial intelligence :
- the 2nd FLTA – The International Conference on Federated Learning Technologies and Applications, specialized in federated learning. We also presented our work on the role of contextual analysis of connected objects in optimizing federated learning processes.
- the 20th IEEE International Conference on e-Science, promoting and encouraging all aspects of eScience ant its associated technologies, applications and tools, with a focus on use-cases and practical experimentations and solutions.
Data Training Without Perturbative Adjustments for Predictive Maintenance
The FLTA24 took place from September 17 to 19 in Valencia, Spain. As part of this research, we studied a concrete case: predictive maintenance, in collaboration with Alstef. Thanks to this study, we demonstrated that it is possible, in the context of airport schedules, to identify available slots for training without disrupting the normal operation of connected objects.
The conference was particularly rewarding thanks to the many presentations dealing with the subjects at the heart of my thesis, as well as the diversity of aspects explored by the scientific community.
Heading for Japan to monitor machine learning workflows
IEEE eScience, held in Japan, is a general conference covering a wide range of aspects related to eScience. At this event, rich in workshops, we were able to exchange views on a number of subjects, in particular data-related issues in the field of research. Among the main themes discussed, data management, traceability and metadata were particularly highlighted, underlining the importance of standardizing the
In this conference, we presented our work on monitoring machine learning workflows, focusing on the dynamic and on-demand tracing of various aspects, including:
- Used data metadata and its storage
- Code and its management via Git
- Executed instance workflows descriptors
- Experimentation management using MLflow.
Scientific and cultural enrichment
Beyond the scientific aspects, Japanese culture was omnipresent throughout the event, from the gastronomy to the traditional dances at the gala, not forgetting the impressive art of tuna carving. Although Osaka was marked by very hot temperatures, this was an exceptional experience in this unique and fascinating country.
