Big update - We're joining STATION F! 🚀 I couldn't be prouder to announce that me and Alexis Hespelle are joining the Founders Program - their most selective track for early-stage startups that want to change the game. Here's the wild part: A year ago, we were just two guys obsessed with making online shopping feel human again. Today? We're building Humind alongside startups that are literally reshaping tech. Our mission hasn't changed - we're making e-commerce deeply personal using AI that actually understands what people want. But now we've got 50,000m² of pure innovation energy to make it happen faster! 💪 Massive thanks to Roxanne VARZA and the STATION F crew for believing in us. Thank you Marwan Elfitesse, Héloïse Nogues, Hafssa Maldji, Chloé LE COSSEC 🎈, and Louis Comte for your trust and support. 🙌 Watch this space - the future of shopping is about to get a lot more exciting! ✨ #StationF #EcommerceInnovation #StartupJourney #TechForGood #AIStartup #ParisTech

These days I’ve been in Montpellier, France, to present our last research results on combinatorial optimization problems over temporal graphs to the 31st symposium on temporal representation and reasoning (TIME2024). Check out our paper at https://lnkd.in/da66ref4 Here we discuss a new heuristic-based approach for minimum timeline cover over temporal graphs. The paper provides theoretical results to a problem largely adopted in social network analysis as interpretable network summarization framework to find important events. Particularly, we used it to analyze job postings, to find the most required skills by companies and understand how the market is evolving. We are already working on evolutions of this approach with Deep Learning. Stay tuned for next publications. #knowledgegraph #combinatorialoptimization #networksummarization

𝐃𝐚𝐲 7 𝐈𝐧 𝐆𝐞𝐧𝐀𝐈: 𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐥𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐁𝐄𝐑𝐓'𝐬 𝐂𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐅𝐢𝐧𝐞-𝐓𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 Day 7 of my Generative AI journey was packed with insights as I wrapped up the BERT paper, "𝐁𝐄𝐑𝐓: 𝐏𝐫𝐞-𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐟 𝐃𝐞𝐞𝐩 𝐁𝐢𝐝𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐋𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐮𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐔𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠" by Devlin et al. I also delved into Umair Jamil’s video, "𝐁𝐄𝐑𝐓 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐝: 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠, 𝐈𝐧𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞, 𝐁𝐄𝐑𝐓 𝐯𝐬 𝐆𝐏𝐓/𝐋𝐋𝐌, 𝐅𝐢𝐧𝐞-𝐭𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠, [𝐂𝐋𝐒] 𝐭𝐨𝐤𝐞𝐧", which added another layer of clarity to my understanding. ( Check it out: https://lnkd.in/dGZg6mQw ) 𝐔𝐧𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐁𝐄𝐑𝐓 𝐏𝐚𝐩𝐞𝐫 The architecture and pre-training strategies in BERT are a masterclass in optimization and versatility. Here’s what stood out: → [𝐂𝐋𝐒] 𝐓𝐨𝐤𝐞𝐧: Used for sentence-level tasks, the token aggregates information from the input sequence and is pivotal for classification models. → 𝐌𝐚𝐬𝐤𝐞𝐝 𝐋𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐮𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐌𝐨𝐝𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 (𝐌𝐋𝐌): This clever approach of masking random tokens teaches BERT to predict context-sensitive words, enabling a bidirectional understanding of language. → 𝐍𝐞𝐱𝐭 𝐒𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 (𝐍𝐒𝐏): A task that helps BERT understand sentence relationships, making it effective for tasks like Q&A and summarization. 𝐈𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐬 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐔𝐦𝐚𝐢𝐫 𝐉𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐥’𝐬 𝐕𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐨 Umair Jamil’s explanation bridged the gap between theory and practice. He not only demystified BERT’s architecture but also touched on: → 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐓𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐧𝐢𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐬: How large-scale datasets and compute are utilized for pre-training. → 𝐅𝐢𝐧𝐞-𝐓𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠: The ease of adapting BERT for tasks like sentiment analysis and named entity recognition by tweaking the final layers. → 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐬: Distinguishing BERT from GPT and other LLMs, emphasizing its pre-training methodology and bidirectional nature. And that was it for today 🤷‍♂️ 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭’𝐬 𝐍𝐞𝐱𝐭? Now it’s time to put theory into practice. I'll try implementing the BERT tomorrow. #GenAI #BERT_learnings

The Future40 list is out... and congratulations to the selected start-ups! You’ve made it to the cool kids' table at Station F. 🍾 But let’s take a step back: this list is a snapshot. A fantastic moment, no doubt, but the real magic happens after the spotlight fades. The true challenge is figuring out which of these rising stars will go all the way and become the next unicorn 🦄. And that’s not about picking them from a list—it’s about watching their journey unfold, understanding their growth, and knowing when to get involved. Here’s the thing: you don’t have to wait a whole year to do that. ➡️ For innovation leaders: Sure, mappings are amazing, but what if you could stay ahead of the curve all year long? Pitch and Rise helps you track the evolution of start-ups, so you can spot the next big one before it even hits the list. So thank you to all the Future40 start-ups for inspiring us! But we’re already thinking ahead: who’s going to be on next year’s list? With Pitch and Rise, you don’t have to wait to find out. PS: Roxanne Varza, Xavier Niel, we’d love to hear who you think is going to make the next leap. We’ll be here with our radar on. 😏 #Future40 #StationF #Innovation #Startups #PitchAndRise

If you know an 18 yo who dream of creating a deep tech startup, they could go to a big natural sciences' university. Or… …go to a small(ish) stand alone business school🏫 Les Deeptech 🚀 from Bpifrance just released their latest analysis for #French #Deeptech, which gives us an interesting overview of the local higher education scene. Sure, HEC Paris - Innovation & Entrepreneurship Institute is ranked #4 in that list (and we are happy about it), but that’s not the really interesting part. What you should pay attention to is that we are not an anomaly. Among the top 15 listed universities, one-third are business schools! It does feel like getting a business education could bring value to science-based entrepreneurship… But what do I know? 🤷‍♂️ What we do know is that investing in research and education keeps paying dividends. And when in doubt between studying science and business, just get both degrees 😁 If you are interested, go check out the full ranking there: https://lnkd.in/eD-r8pDD PS: I know this is a list for ants, no need to call your optometrist 🔍 PPS: I will not complain about per capita measurements not being the global standard for ranking metrics

A big chunk of my career has been spent on #operationalresilience. It's an ever-changing landscape with fundamental importance to business, IT and Security. You blink, and you already missed something. My most recent experiences show #cyberresilience being THE hot topic, particularly the enablement of end-to-end testing. It is achievable through a combination of scenario-based end-to-end planning, component-based testing approach, and cyber-attack-appropriate Backup and Recovery fundamentals. Our core team of SMEs have put together a quick #digest with #priorities we see this year.🚀 What resolates with your #journey? Let's discuss 💭 #wavestone #opres #2024priorities #industryinsights
