Speaker : Sarah Cohen-Boulakia

Towards a more realistic analysis of algorithms

Impossibility to redo our own analysis, failing to re-execute an analysis described in a recent paper: we have all experienced computational reproducibility issues. Ten years ago, the bioinformatics community had to face with the ‘reproducibility crisis’ and has been pioneer in the design of solutions to better reproduce and reuse bioinformatics analysis pipelines.

This talk will review current elements of solutions to design FAIR analysis pipelines, introduce results obtained in the ShareFAIR project (PEPR Santé Numérique) and go on to discuss the challenges posed by this domain and the remaining opportunities of research at the interface of graph algorithmics, databases and text mining.

Biography:

Sarah Cohen-Boulakia is a full Professor at University Paris-Saclay. She is a senior membre at IUF. She has been working for twenty years in multi-disciplinary groups involving computer scientists and biologists or physicians of various domains. In the last years, she has animated several working groups on reproducibility of scientific experiments.

Dr. Cohen-Boulakia’s research expertise include provenance in scientific workflows systems, reproducibility of scientific experiments, integration, querying and ranking in the context of biological and biomedical databases. She was awarded the CNRS Silver Medal in 2024.
