Jean-Claude Belfiore's Short Biography

Jean-Claude Belfiore received the "Diplôme d'ingénieur" (Eng. degree) from Ecole Supérieure d'Electricité (Supelec) in 1985, the "Doctorat" (PhD) from ENST in 1989 and the "Habilitation à diriger des Recherches" (HdR) from Université Pierre et Marie Curie (UPMC) in 2001. In 1989, he was enrolled at the “Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Télécommunications, ENST, also called “Télécom ParisTech", where he is presently full Professor in the Communications & Electronics department. He is carrying out research at the Laboratoire de Traitement et Communication de l'Information, LTCI , joint research laboratories between ENST and the “Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique” (CNRS), UMR 5141, where he is in charge of research activities in the areas of digital communications, information theory and coding. Jean-Claude Belfiore has made pioneering contributions on modulation and coding for wireless systems (especially space-time coding) by using tools of number theory. He is also, with Ghaya Rekaya and Emanuele Viterbo, one of the co-inventors of the celebrated Golden Code. He is now working on wireless network coding, cooperative communications and coding for physical security. In 2007, he was the recipient of the SEE Blondel Medal. He is author or co-author of more than 200 technical papers and communications and he has served as advisor for more than 30 Ph.D. Students.

Summary of research interestsMy research interests focus on the theory and application of machine learning. The main themes include:game-theoretic learning, design and analysis of learning algorithms, and the theory of statistical learning.

• Game-theoretic learning. This line of research is concerned with the study of algorithms that se-quentially predict the elements of a stream of data without making any assumption on the source. Thestudy of prediction of individual sequences was indipendently pursued in several areas, motivated byproblems as different as playing repeated games, compressing data, and classifying patterns. In aseries of papers, starting with “How to use expert advice”, I have carried out a comprehensive inves-tigation of the area and developed algorithms for several variants of the basic sequential forecastingproblem. These and further results have been collected in the monography “Prediction, learning, andgames” published by Cambridge University Press in 2006. Recently, I have started to apply the game-theoretic learning framework to classification problems in networked data represented as weightedgraphs.

• Design, analysis, and empirical validation of algorithms for pattern analysis. I am also interestedin the design of incremental learning algorithms that operate efficiently on large amounts of data andexhibit a performance that degrades gracefully in the presence of noise. In this area I have devel-oped and analyzed several kernel-based algorithms for regression, filtering, active learning, memorybounded learning, and hierarchical classification. Many of these algorithms have been tested on largetextual corpora (e.g, newsstories, medical abstracts, web pages).

• Statistical learning theory. In statistical learning one assumes that data are generated by independentdraws from a fixed and unknown probability distribution. Owing to its analytical tractability, thishas become the standard model for the study of learning algorithms in the framework of uniformconvergence theory. In this area I have shown the first combinatorial characterization of learnabilityfor general regression functions in terms of a suitable generalization of the Vapnik-Chervonenkisdimension. More recently, I have proven bounds on the risk of functions in the ensemble generatedby incremental training of learning algorithms.
