Our #research paper "Combi-CAM: A Novel Multi-Layer Approach for
Explainable Image Geolocalization" by D. Faget et al. will be presented at VISAPP 2026. It's on geolocation explainability and there's a closely related preprint here: https://www.techrxiv.org/users/836918/articles/1228608-enhancing-aerial-geolocalization-explainability-with-a-novel-grad-cam-approach

Uhm, "General Medicine" small, and "Homeopathy" very large. I wouldn't go to see this doctor!

Going today's to the Software Heritage event at #UNESCO. Moreover, there's an exhibition around software that one can visit during coffee breaks, it seems. That's great! Not only the free coffee, but the software too :D

In collaboration with CESBIO we're proposing an M2 #research internship at Centre Borelli (ENS Paris-Saclay) on the reconstruction of interferometric satellite images with deep learning techniques. If you're interested in this internship to follow up with a PhD (if you manage to obtain a scholarship!), please let me know. For candidates outside the EU, note than you'd need to obtain the authorization of the French Défense Nationale before applying. http://mcolom.perso.math.cnrs.fr/download/stages/Stage_CESBIO_2026_NMS.pdf

A copyright troll company is asking me for thousands of euros because they found a version of one of their images in my personal, non-profit, research-oriented website. We'll see how this ends...

On Oct. 30 at 2 PM Paris time (or 1 PM GMT) I'll be making an introduction to reproducibility and computational sciences in the series of seminars of AREN (African Reproducibility Network). If you're interested, don't hesitate to join! https://us06web.zoom.us/meeting/register/2kUnopebSy-DcY--Jljq_g#/registration

Welcome! You are invited to join a meeting: Promoting Reproducibility in the Computational Sciences: An Overview of Research Practices and Challenges. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email about joining the meeting.

This talk provides an overview of how reproducible research is implemented in computational sciences. It will clarify key concepts such as reproducibility, replicability, and repeatability within this field, and discuss the main challenges involved in producing and evaluating reproducible algorithms, as well as the best practices to address them. Finally, it will highlight several initiatives in France that aim to promote reproducibility in scientific research. These include Guix, which enables precise control of execution environments; Notebooks, which facilitate the execution of algorithms and the presentation of results; fully peer-reviewed, reproducible journals such as IPOL; Software Heritage, which ensures the perpetual archival of source code and provides reliable, intrinsic, and permanent identifiers; and MOOCs, which offer training opportunities, among others.
