About the research centre or Inria department
The Inria Lille - Nord Europe Research Centre was founded in 2008 and employs a staff of 360, including 300 scientists working in 15 research teams. Recognised for its outstanding contribution to the socio-economic development of the Hauts-De-France région, the Inria Lille - Nord Europe Research Centre undertakes research in the field of computer science in collaboration with a range of academic, institutional and industrial partners.
The strategy of the Centre is to develop an internationally renowned centre of excellence with a significant impact on the City of Lille and its surrounding area. It works to achieve this by pursuing a range of ambitious research projects in such fields of computer science as the intelligence of data and adaptive software systems. Building on the synergies between research and industry, Inria is a major contributor to skills and technology transfer in the field of computer science.
Context
The work concerns a project of the INRIA-MAGNET team with the Lille Hospital, in particular the development of an open source library for private and decentralized/federated machine learning and data analysis to conduct multi-centric medical studies across several hospitals.
The activities will include interactions with the members of the Magnet team (researchers and engineers) and with engineers and doctors of the Lille Hospital. The activities can also include travel, e.g., to conferences to demonstrate the developed library and to contribute to the community building effort.
Assignment
- Consolidate and extend the existing library for decentralized and privacy-preserving machine learning developed in the project
- Integrate these developments to the information systems of partners hospitals to enable decentralized medical studies
- Deploy the library in real-world conditions and experiment on synthetic and (benchmark) medical data, analyzing the benefits and the costs compared to a centralized approach.
- Publish open source code and integrate in existing libraries
- Publish scientific results in medical and computer science conferences
Main activities
- Implement federated and privacy-preserving algorithms for machine learning
- Identify appropriate multicentric medical studies that fit the decentralized setting
- Preliminary experiments with medical partners
- Evaluation of results
- Reporting, disseminating and presenting results
Skills
- Programming skills, preferable in Python, C/C++, R, Bash scripting,
- Knowledge of distributed computing frameworks such as gRPC, networks and security protocols
- Interest for machine learning and medical applications. Good understanding of scientific papers on machine learning
- Good communication skills; communication and animation of software development communities, git workflow
Benefits package
- Subsidized meals
- Partial reimbursement of public transport costs
- Leave: 7 weeks of annual leave + 10 extra days off due to RTT (statutory reduction in working hours) + possibility of exceptional leave (sick children, moving home, etc.)
