Since 2017, I organize a series of courses about computer experiments which is part of the "Data Science Major" at Mines Saint-Etienne and Masters Program "Mathematics in Action" at Lyon University. The series is called "Mathematical Exploitation of Numerical Simulation" and it is made of 5 courses: design of experiments, kriging, local and global optimization, global sensitivity analysis. I teach the global optimization course (see below).
Introduction to Global optimization, taught as part of the Master of Applied Mathematics (since 2004), Univ. J. Monnet and Mines de Saint Etienne, and of the applied mathematics BSc cursus at Mines de Saint Etienne (since 2002), about 20h / year, (slides here as HAL course hal-03500652) .
Optimization for machine learning, taught as part of the Master of Applied Mathematics (since 2021), Univ. J. Monnet and Mines de Saint Etienne, and of the applied mathematics BSc cursus at Mines de Saint Etienne, about 10h / year.
An introduction to optimization for machine learning, course given as part of the summer school on AI, in Cotonou, Benin, July-Aug. 2021 and 2022 (organized by the Benin Excellence NGO and the Vallet Foundation): code and slides of the 2022 edition here in collaboration with Dédji Brian Whannou and Kévin Kpakpo Akouété, (slides of the 2021 edition as HAL course hal-03345681).
