Validation

Validation is carried out by practical work reports and a project, based on a research article. Each project is organized as follows:

  1. choice of a research article among proposals,
  2. implementation and testing of the algorithm(s) described in the article,
  3. analysis of the algorithm, its results, proposal for variant(s),
  4. submission of a report explaining the method and the results; and the code produced.

Lists of proposed articles: to appear soon.
