I am a researcher in machine learning and computer vision working at the Idiap research institute and École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne. I received the PhD degree in Mathematics from University of Paris VI in 2000 and the habilitation degree in Applied Mathematics from University of Paris XIII in 2006.
My research at Idiap is on weakly supervised learning for object detection with Hugo Penedones, interactive text-image retrieval with Nicolae Suditu and very large feature sets for scene analysis with Charles Dubout, and for action selection with Leonidas Lefakis.
I am the coordinator of the European MASH project, about the collaborative development of complex priors for Machine Learning.
My main collaborations are with Pascal Fua's CVLab at EPFL on multi-camera tracking with Jérôme Berclaz, filament detection with Germán González Serrano, hand detection in industrial environment with Karim Ali, and regularization of detection with Engin Türetken.
Also, I am working on object detection and the estimation of ML performance for vision with Don Geman, at the CIS, Johns Hopkins University. We have developed a series of synthetic problems, and propose the Synthetic Visual Reasoning Test Challenge.
