The goal of this project is to develop algorithms that allow machines to understand and describe actions in video. For example, we would like computers to be able to classify videos according to the actions taking place inside them , and annotate the videos according to where and when the actions take place. To tackle […]

The progression of Alzheimer’s disease is strongly linked to small beta-amyloid polymers found outside the neurons of the human brain. These polymers interact with neurons and disrupt their function, leading to the neurodegenerative symptoms seen in Alzheimer’s patients. However, certain small molecules are able to promote the aggregation of these polymers into large fibril structures, […]

Les évènements météorologiques extrêmes impactent régulièrement la région de Veracuz au Mexique avec des conséquences qui se traduisent par des glissements de terrain, des érosions importantes des sols, des inondations urbaines etc. Tous ces phénomènes engendrent des problèmes économiques et sociaux dans cette région. De nos jours, il n’y a pas d’outil de prévision des […]

Le projet consiste à développer un modèle 3D pour modéliser les phénomènes électromagnétiques et thermiques permettant de simuler les effets d’échauffements dus à des courants de Foucault, i.e. des courants électriques induits par des variations temporelles d’un champ magnétique. Ce phénomène est responsable des pertes dans les appareillages électriques de puissance (transformateurs, génératrices, etc.), mais […]

The Red River, flowing from China, runs through the northern border city of Lao Cai, in one of the poorest and most mountainous regions of Vietnam. A new expressway runs through Lao Cai and supports increased trade and investment. The economic growth draws in rural migrants, and also displaces people as it appropriates land to […]

Considering the research gap that there lack quantitative models and advanced techniques to solve the land spatial allocation problem in China’s county-level, my PhD project aims at developing spatial optimization models to assist land spatial allocation that reconciles the market value, social value and ecological value of land, land utilization zoning and boundary setting in […]

This research project aims at providing efficient methods to solve a mathematical problem which has practical applications in digital communication and online storage. In the domain of communications, these methods perform the decoding stage of some error-correcting codes, which are used to ensure reliable data transmission over an unreliable or noisy communication channel such as […]

The project first aims at developing a robust and low latency hardware system for identifying which fingers are in contact with a surface. The second objective is to implement and refine finger identification interaction techniques that would improve the interaction with touch surfaces (smart phone, tablets, tabletops). These techniques will be evaluated to state of […]

This project explores the design of different manual and semi-automatic instruments to support interaction with token-based physical data visualizations (or physicalizations). The recent advance in digital fabrication has made data physicalization – encoding data in the geometry or material properties of a physical artifact – a growing research interest in the information visualization community. However, […]

This research focuses on the optimization of parallel mechanisms, a specific class of robotic mechanisms, such that an optimal design guarantees that a desired task, having certain requirements, is able to be completed by the mechanism. The Inria Sophia Antipolis Coprin project (now the Hephaistos project) have worked on the development of interval analysis algebraic […]

Acute skin erythema is a common side effect with patients undergoing radiotherapy treatment. It displays itself as an increase in skin redness and irritation. Erythema has been reported to correlate to individual patient response to radiation and therefore may be useful to guide and modify courses of treatment in a timely manner. Currently, upon visual […]

The building blocks of multicellular organisms such as humans are cells, vessels and protein fibers. Cell migrations are instrumental in the development and maintenance of multicellular organisms (such as wound healing). Aberrant cellular migrations are important in many pathological conditions, for instance in cancer. The majority of cancer related deaths (80-90%) are caused by spread […]
