Des chercheurs du Département d’informatique de la Faculté des Sciences de l’UMONS ont développé PHOEG, un outil innovant permettant d’explorer et de mieux comprendre des réseaux complexes. Utilisé en recherche fondamentale et dans l'enseignement, cet environnement interactif ouvre de nouvelles perspectives dans des domaines variés allant de la chimie à l’analyse de systèmes complexes.

Anomaly detection seeks to identify rare and abnormal events that deviate from expected behaviour, a task central to safety-critical domains such as industrial monitoring and energy systems. However, its real-world deployment remains challenging due to co-occurring heterogeneous anomalies, contaminated training data, complex temporal dynamics, and unreliable decision-making thresholds. Sukanya Patra made four complementary contributions in her thesis towards addressing these critical gaps. Her dissertation is supervised by Prof. Souhaib Ben Taieb and Prof. Stéphane Dupont.

Victor Dheur will hold his public PhD defense on Thursday 11 December 2025 at 17h. Instead of just asking an AI for a single answer, it is often safer to ask for probabilistic predictions such as a range of possibilities. Victor Dheur designed algorithms that ensure these predictions are both reliable and informative, helping decision-makers across diverse applications. His dissertation is supervised by Prof. Souhaib Ben Taieb and Stéphane Dupont.

Excellentes performances pour deux étudiants inscrits au bloc complémentaire (année passerelle entre des études en Haute École et le Master en Sciences informatiques) lors des WorldSkills, référence internationale des métiers techniques. Emilien Marquegnies a décroché l’or et vise désormais l’édition mondiale à Shanghai. Lucas Vanderzielen a de son côté obtenu une médaille du mérite lors des Startech’s Days.

Le premier tour de l'International Collegiate Programming Contest s'est déroulé à l'UMONS ce samedi 20 septembre.

Natarajan CHIDAMBARAM, researcher at the Software Engineering Lab in the context of the ARIAC TRAIL research project, will hold his public PhD defense on Thursday 22 May 2025 at 15h in room Pauling of the Mendeleiev building (ground floor), Avenue Maistriau 15, Mons. His dissertation is entitled « Improving Bot Identification in Collaborative Software Development on GitHub » and directed by Prof. Tom Mens.
