I am a researcher in computer science currently at the Applied Mathematics Lab of the ENS Cachan. Here are some facts and dates and my résumé. There you can get my papers.
My research interests concern computer vision, image analysis and statistical learning.
My most recent work is about 3D reconstruction of non adherent living cells using tomographic imaging. Techniques include bayesian inference, data fusion and deconvolution. I work with Bernard Chalmond and Jiaping Wang in the Automation project.
My postdoctoral project was carried out at the University of Bern and CNR di Pisa, as a member of the Ercim fellowship program. I have designed predictors that can learn how to recognize scenes, like particular landscapes, sport pictures, images with people. Techniques include feature selection, kernel methods, graph matching and bayesian combination of classifiers. This is used to generate automatic annotation of multimedia documents and improve search facilities in digital libraries.
I did my PhD at Inria/Imedia research group, which is interested on content-based image retrieval. I worked on techniques of supervised and unsupervised classification to find and manage categories of similar images. I have developed an original algorithm for clustering : ARC (Adaptive Robust Competition). Besides my work at Inria, I was a teaching assistant in University Paris-IX Dauphine and some old material for a java course is still available.
Here are some shortcuts for my works:
publications and talks
classifiers for image annotation
unsupervised classification for image database
motion estimation in video sequences
This year, I have been serving on the program committee of these conferences:
Visual 2007
Pacific-Rim Conference on Multimedia 2007
Here is a howto with links to install unix stuff on mac os x, the updated version for os x tiger, and another one about network setup between linux and mac os x. If you're bored, email me. Or let's go to the beach.
