Recognised for its strong  involvement in the socio-economic development of the Hauts-De-France  region, the Inria University of Lille centre pursues a close  relationship with large companies and SMEs. By promoting synergies  between researchers and industrialists, Inria participates in the  transfer of skills and expertise in digital technologies and provides  access to the best European and international research for the benefit  of innovation and companies, particularly in the region.For more  than 10 years, the Inria University of Lille centre has been located at  the heart of Lille's university and scientific ecosystem, as well as at  the heart of Frenchtech, with a technology showroom based on Avenue de  Bretagne in Lille, on the EuraTechnologies site of economic excellence  dedicated to information and communication technologies (ICT)

Contexte et atouts du poste

The work concerns a project of the INRIA-MAGNET team with the Lille Hospital, in particular the development of the open source library DecLearn 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.

Mission confiée

  • 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

The Declearn project is available at https://gitlab.inria.fr/magnet/declearn/declearn2
