computationnelles

Computationnelles is a French adjective used to designate phenomena, methods, and models that rely on computation. It is the feminine plural form of computationnel, and is commonly found in academic writing to describe approaches such as méthodes computationnelles or approches computationnelles.

The scope of computationnelles is broad and spans multiple disciplines that use computer-based methods to analyze, simulate, or solve problems. Fields frequently associated with computationnelles include informatique (computer science), mathématiques appliquées, sciences des données (data science), robotique, linguistique informatique, informatique cognitive, and biologie computationnelle. The term is often paired with nouns like modèle computationnel, méthode computationnelle, or approche computationnelle to emphasize the role of computation in the work.

In practice, computationnelles emphasizes the reliance on algorithms, software, and hardware to perform tasks that may be impractical or impossible to achieve analytically. It covers areas such as algorithmique, modélisation et simulation, apprentissage automatique, et analyse de données. The expression is used to distinguish computational or numerical approaches from purely theoretical, experimental, or analytical methods.

Challenges associated with computationnelles include managing computational complexity, ensuring scalability, achieving reproducibility, and addressing issues of data quality and privacy. As computing resources evolve, the scope of computationnelles continues to expand, influencing research and applications across science, engineering, and beyond.
