My publications are available below in their chronological order. I
have kind of sorted them with regards to their topic. The color of the
dot indicates the topic as follows:
reinforcement learning,
including modeling of the dynamics of behavior in living beings (ongoing
since 1996 or so)
machine learning
application of machine learning
virtual laboratories (from 1996 to 2004)
genetic algorithms, combinatorial optimization, fitness landscapes,
local search algorithms (from 1994 to 1999)
old
stuffs on supercompilers done during my PhD (before 1993)
other topics

While working on my PhD and a bit later, I was with the Laboratoire d'Informatique Fondamentale de Lille, at the Université de Lille 1.
There, I studied vector supercomputers, their architecture, and
supercompilers (compilers for supercomputers). Below, there is the
list of publications related to this phase of my life. I've stopped working
on these things for a very long time... These are not
available on this page.
