There is an open Phd position in machine learning at Idiap, part of the European MASH Project.
I am a researcher in machine learning and computer vision working at the Idiap research institute and École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne. I got a PhD in Mathematics from University of Paris VI in 2000 and an habilitation degree in Applied Mathematics from University of Paris XIII in 2006.
My research at Idiap is on “playground 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.
I am the coordinator of the European MASH project, which will start in January 2010 to study the collaborative development of complex priors for artificial learning systems.
My main collaborations are currently 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 linear programming techniques for detection regularization 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.
