Short bio
I am a researcher employed by INRIA, in the TEXMEX team headed by Patrick Gros.
I am a former student of the Ecole Normale Superieure de Cachan, holding a M.S. (2002) and PhD (2005) from University of Rennes I.
During my PhD, I worked on error-resilient compression and joint source channel coding, supervised by Christine Guillemot. After that, I turned out to Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition. I joined the LEAR group (INRIA Grenoble) as a permanent researcher in 2006, and moved to INRIA Rennes in 2009.
My work is mainly focused on large scale image/video/audio retrieval, and multi-dimensional indexing techniques.
My main contributions are around indexing techniques (vectors/images/video)
that scale from millions to billions of vectors/images while being ressource-efficient (CPU+memory).
Sample image search demo on 10,000,000 images based on my indexing technique: Bigimbaz.
News
A post-doc position is available (Duration: 18 months) on fine-grain image classification,
as part of a joint project with Xerox Research Center Europe (Florent Perronnin).
The post-doc will start in 2012 or 2013.
We will consider outstanding applications only
(=with excellent publication record in major computer vision/machine learning/multimedia conferences and journals).
Applications should be sent to myself. Please include a recent CV and three letters of reference (referees might be contacted).
