Why Thinking-By-Numbers is the New Way to be Smart
Today's best and brightest organisations are analysing massive databases at lightning speed to provide greater insights into human behaviour. From internet sites like Google and Amazon that know your tastes better than you do, to a physician's diagnosis and your child's education, to boardrooms and government agencies, a new breed of decision makers--call them super crunchers--are calling the shots. And they are delivering staggeringly accurate results. Want to know the value of a particular win

Expériences personnelles dans l’enseignement de l’informatique et du monde numérique (video)
L'informatique est partout, c'est devenu banal de le dire, mais qu'entend-on vraiment par là ? Comprend-on bien que le numérique, aujourd'hui, loin de se cantonner aux ordinateurs, est bien plus répandu dans les objets technologiques les plus divers, des téléphones aux avions ? Quelles en sont les implications, les qualités mais aussi les inconvénients, à commencer par les bugs ? En accord avec la devise du Collège de France, « enseigner la recherche en train de se faire », Gérar

Combien d’objets dans une image ?
Dans cet exposé Jean-Jacques Lévy propose de décortiquer quelques algorithmes d'étiquetage des objets dans une image, c'est à dire de segmentation de cette image en régions homogènes, et de regarder en détail la complexité algorithmique d'un tel mécanisme. Cela permet de montrer dans un cas concret, quels formalismes permettent d'analyser les performances d'un algorithme et de vérifier sa validité. On y croise la fonction d’Ackermann dont le rôle est essentiel en informatique

George Inness in Italy
February 19, 2011 - May 15, 2011: A canonical figure in American painting, George Inness (1825–1894) is widely admired as the pioneer of the evocative aesthetic
known as Tonalism, which is distinguished by soft focus and diaphanous layers of paint. This is the first exhibition to examine the artist’s two Italian sojourns (1851–52 and 1870–74) and their formative impact on his work. Italy—its art and its landscape—offered Inness a font of inspiration as he developed his own uniq

Joseph in Egypt
Joseph, a young Hebrew boy, is sold into slavery by his jealous brothers and taken to the land of Egypt. He does not forget the lessons about God that his father Jacob taught him. When cast into prison for a crime he did not commit, Joseph interprets the dreams of his cell mates and earns the respect of all he meets. Joseph is called upon to interpret Pharaohs dreams and, because of his integrity and insight, is granted a position of power in Pharaohs court. This is a wonderful resource for a Ch

Les aliments de demain - Gérard Pascal (video)
Conférence du 29 février 2000 par Gérard Pascal.
Certains annonçaient il y a quelques décennies l'alimentation future sous forme de pilules. Il n'en a rien été et il n'en sera rien. C'est à partir du progrès rapide des connaissances scientifiques, des innovations technologiques et de la perception par le consommateur du rôle de l'alimentation, que l'on peut tenter de faire des prévisions à court terme. L'alimentation est un facteur d'environnement qui peut non seulemen
