Synchrony is claimed by psychology as a crucial parameter of any social interaction: to give to human a feeling of natural interaction, a feeling of agency [17], an agent must be a...
The asymptotic behavior of stochastic gradient algorithms is studied. Relying on some results of differential geometry (Lojasiewicz gradient inequality), the almost sure pointconve...
