Short Bio

I am a scientific researcher in computer science at Inria since 2002. I work in Montpellier, in the Zenith team of Inria on big scientific data analytics. These data, derived from observations, experiments and simulation are indeed complex, often very large, and are at the heart of important issues to better understand the studied domains (agronomy, biology, medicine).

I defended my Habilitation Thesis in 2009.

I did my PhD in computer science at Montpellier in co-supervision with the University of Saint-Quentin en Yvelines (graduated in 2001), in the area of knowledge discovery from databases. Until 2010 I worked in Sophia Antipolis on the development and application of these techniques for knowledge discovery in areas related to usage (such as navigation on Web sites) and large amounts of data.

News

2017 Feb 24. Our work on “Data Placement in Massively Distributed Environments for Fast Parallel Mining of Frequent Itemsets” (Saber Salah, Reza Akbarinia and Florent Masseglia) has been accepted as regular paper by the KAIS journal.

2017 Feb 12. Our work on “Massively Distributed Environments and Closed Itemset Mining: the DCIM Approach” (Mehdi Zitouni, Reza Akbarinia, Sadok Ben Yahia and Florent Masseglia) has been accepted as regular paper by the CAiSE’17 conference.
