Optimal Transport for Machine Learning is in the spotlight of the Hi! PARIS Reading groups in October-December 2025, a scientific networking action gathering affiliates and corporate donors around important topics of the moment!
At this year’s Hi! PARIS Summer School, Anna Korba (ENSAE Paris) took a fresh look at Langevin diffusions, an old idea from physics that’s quietly becoming central to generative modeling. As machine learning and mathematics increasingly overlap, she invites us to pay closer attention to what’s happening under the hood of today’s most talked-about models.
AI is no longer a support tool in biology, it’s becoming a scientific partner.”
At the Hi! PARIS Summer School 2025, Jean-Philippe Vert (Bioptimus) explored how AI is impacti biomedical research. From protein folding breakthroughs like AlphaFold to in silico simulations of disease, Vert made the case for a new era where biology’s complexity meets AI’s learning power. The next frontier? Models that understand life across molecules, cells, and entire organisms.
Ioannis Stefanou, new Hi! PARIS Chair-holder and Professor at ENSTA, is combining AI, mechanics, and physics to advance the energy transition. His work explores how technologies like geothermal energy and hydrogen storage can be modeled through physics-informed AI, creating smarter, more sustainable systems for the future.
Luiz Chamon, new Hi! PARIS Chair-holder at École polytechnique, focuses on making AI trustworthy by design.
His work rethinks how intelligent systems learn, embedding fairness, safety, and robustness from the start to ensure AI serves society responsibly.
How is AI changing the way we think about financial markets? In this talk, Charles-Albert Lehalle draws on experience across academia and industry to explore what’s really shifting, from the use of alternative data to the role of retail investors.
Launched during the French President’s state visit to the UK, the Entente CordIAle Paris-Saclay – Oxford-Cambridge AI Initiative unites Institut Polytechnique de Paris, HEC Paris, Université Paris-Saclay, Oxford, and Cambridge to advance AI for science, business, and society.
At its core, Hi! PARIS plays a key role in driving this €70M partnership, supporting joint research, PhD programs, mobility initiatives, and industry collaboration to foster responsible and sovereign AI.
From July 13 to 19, Hi! PARIS researchers will take part in the International Conference on Machine Learning (ICML 2025), one of the world’s leading conferences in artificial intelligence, held this year in Vancouver, Canada. A total of 27 research papers from Hi! PARIS affiliated teams have been accepted following ICML’s highly selective peer-review process, recognizing the […]
We are proud to introduce the newest cohort of Hi! PARIS Chairs, part of the Hi! PARIS Cluster 2030 initiative. Designed to foster long-term excellence in AI and data analytics, this program supports innovative research across science, business, and society. Hosted within leading institutions, Institut Polytechnique de Paris, HEC Paris, Inria, and CNRS, the 2025 chairs […]
Exceptional Seminar with Prof. Eric Xing at École polytechnique Hi! PARIS is honored to welcome Professor Eric Xing, President of the Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence and Professor at Carnegie Mellon University, for an exceptional scientific seminar on July 8, 2025, at École Polytechnique. As one of the leading figures in AI and machine learning, […]
