  • Duration: 24 months


  • Desired hiring date: ASAP (may be modified according to the sanitary situation) Take-home salary: 2600 € / month (French public healthcare coverage included)


  • Workplace: the L3i laboratory in La Rochelle, France


  • Specialities: Machine Learning / Image Analysis / Computer Vision /


  • Description of the Lab: The work carried out by the candidate will be part of a joint project between the L3i laboratory and IMDS company. This project is funded by the “Plan de Relance” from France and European Union.


  • The post-doc fellow will be based in the L3i Laboratory, located La Rochelle, France. The L3i laboratory, created in 1993 at La Rochelle University brings together researchers in Computer Science and Signal Processing from different faculties. The L3i brings together the skills of its researchers in order to address the issues of digital content enhancement from a systemic perspective.


  • This relies, in particular, on a cross exploitation of interactive applications, content indexing and knowledge representation. The laboratory is structured around three scientific themes (Knowledge Engineering, Content Analysis and Management, Interactivity and Dynamic Systems), centred on the common goal of interactive and intelligent management of digital content. The mission of the job will also be conducted in coordination with IMDS, present in France and Canada.


  • IMDS offers a complete range of services, from consulting to operational validation, including software and hardware prescription, technology deployment, staff training and solution operation. Based on the innovative concept of the "Advanced Document", IMDS develops production architectures that cover the entire document life cycle, from the application data to the physical or electronic distribution of the document produced.


  • Job description: The work of the post-doc fellow will fall within the framework of the area "Control and assessment of a capture quality".


  • The aim is to design innovative approaches for the evaluation and the increase of the quality of ID Documents captures (ID Card, driving licence, passport, others) in order to improve the verification of the validity of the document in an authentication context while a distant digital relationship (connection to a bank or administrative service for instance). Where recent mobile devices already perform correct image processing on photos in general, it is less the case when capturing documents in deteriorate conditions (movement, lack of light).


  • More, the required quality of the capture is higher than standard when the aim isto control the veracity of the document.


  • There are many scientific bottlenecks arising from this applicative context, mainly in the field of machine learning and pattern recognition.


  • Using video capture seems to be a promising solution to address glare issues and secure the authentication process This post-doctoral work will be based on a detailed state of the art of existing approaches, to identify their limits and propose innovative approaches that will help to overcome the bottlenecks mentioned above. To solve these problems, we plan to propose new techniques.


  • For instance, many quality assessment focuses on simple criteria such as read rates. It seems important to take into account the constraints and results of additional more advanced controls like textures or graphics. A competition of all approaches (deep-learning or not) should be developed to fit some real world constraint like time processing and capacity to run on mobile.


  • Candidate Profile: The candidate, who holds a Ph.D. in the fields of computer science, computer engineering, signal processing, or applied mathematics, must have a significant research experience in at least two of the following areas:


  • • Machine learning • Pattern recognition • Computer Vision OR image processing (knowledge and/or experience in both domains would be considered a plus for the applicant)

  • The FOX team from the CRIStAL laboratory (UMR CNRS), Lille France is looking to recruit a PhD student starting on October 1st 2022 on the following subject : Spatio-temporal data augmentation models for motion pattern learning using deep learning: applications to facial analysis in the wild


  • The FOX research group is part of the CRIStAL laboratory (University of Lille, CNRS), located in Lille, France. We focus on video analysis for human behavior understanding. Specifically, we develop spatio-temporal models of motions for tasks such as abnormal event detection, emotion recognition, and face alignment. Our work is published in major journals (Pattern Recognition, IEEE Trans. on Affective Computing) and conferences (WACV, IJCNN).


  • This PHD thesis will be funded in the framework of the AI_PhD@Lilleprogram. http://www.isite-ulne.fr/index.php/en/phd-in-artificial-intelligence/


  • The candidate will be funded for 3 years; he/she is expected to defend his/her thesis and graduate by the end of the contract. The monthly net salary is around 1800€, including benefits (health insurance, retirement fund, and paid vacations).


  • The position is located in Lille, France. With over 110 000 students, the metropolitan area of Lille is one France's top education student cities. The European Doctoral College Lille Nord-Pas de Calais is headquartered in Lille Metropole and includes 3,000 PhD Doctorate students supported by university research laboratories. Lille has a convenient location in the European high-speed rail network. It lies on the Eurostar line to London (1:20 hour journey). The French TGV network also puts it only 1 hour from Paris, 35 mn from Brussels, and a short trips to other major centres in France such as Paris, Marseille and Lyon.


  • Abstract: Facial expression analysis is a well-studied field when dealing with segmented and constrained data captured in lab conditions. However, many challenges must still be addressed for building in-the-wild solutions that account for various motion intensities, strong head movements during expressions, the spotting of the subsequence containing the expression, partially occluded faces, etc. In recent years, learned features based on deep learning architectures were proposed in order to deal with these challenges. Deep learning is characterized by neural architectures that depend on a huge number of parameters. The convergence of these neural networks and the estimation of optimal parameters require large amounts of training data, especially when dealing with spatio-temporal data, particulary adequate for facial expression recognition. The quantity, but also the quality, of the data and its capacity to reflect the addressed challenges are key elements for training properly the networks. Augmenting the data artificially in an intelligent and controlled way is an interesting solution. The augmentation techniques identified in the literature are mainly focused on image augmentation and consist of scaling, rotation, and flipping operations, or they make use of more complex adversarial training. These techniques can be applied at the frame level, but there is a need for sequence level augmentation in order to better control the augmentation process and ensure the absence of temporal artifacts that might bias the learning process. The generation of dynamic frontal facial expressions has already been addressed in the literature. The goal of this Ph.D. is to conceive new space-time augmentation methods for unconstrained facial analysis (involving head movements, occultations, etc.). Attention should be paid in assessing the quality standards related to facial expression requirements: stability over time, absence of facial artifacts, etc. More specifically, the Ph.D. candidate is expected to conceive augmentation architectures that address various challenges (motion intensities, head movements) while maintaining temporal stability and eliminating facial artifacts.

  • Hate Speech (HS) and harassment are particularly widespread in online communication, especially due to users' freedom and anonymity and the lack of regulation provided by social media platforms. This phenomenon has determined a growing interest in using artificial intelligence and Natural Language Processing techniques to address social and ethical issues. An extensive body of work has been proposed to automatically detect HS relying on a variety of deep learning methods (Founta and Nunes, 2018; Schmidt and Wiegand, 2017).


  • Most research focus on HS as expressed in texts without taking into account the contexts in which they have been uttered. This PhD aims to bridge the gap by investigating for the first time how HS are expressed and detected in multi-party dialogues. We will propose new dialogue datasets for HS detection as well as new context-based deep learning methods that leverage the conversation thread to account for hateful contents and how they evolve as the dialogue proceeds.

  • TEAM Title of the thesis project: Automatic Classifiers of Ontologically Explainable Images: application to the Observation and Analysis of Marine Flying Fauna.


  • Keywords: Artificial Intelligence, Computer Vision, Knowledge Engineering, Explainability of AI


  • Funding: Hauts de France Region / ULCO (Thesis scholarship)


  • Contact: [email protected], mourad.bouneffa@univ-littoral. En


  • Summary : Responding to the need for explainability of AIs that use Deep Learning, we propose in this thesis to develop a hybrid approach in Computer Vision for the automatic classification of images combining machine learning models with semantic knowledge expressed by ontologies, with the aim of creating ontologically explainable image classifiers. The SysReIC team has already achieved very encouraging results in a prototype. This thesis will consist in developing these ideas by applying them to the ecological problem of monitoring and observing the trajectories of flying fauna in partnership with the companies Écosphère (1, Antenne Nord Littoral) and Prodrone (2). This type of study is often a prerequisite for impact analysis for the installation of infrastructure both at sea (offshore platforms, ...) and on land (industrial installations, bridges, ...). This process is now carried out by overflight campaigns of sites studied by ornithologists in aircraft. This approach is costly, dangerous, and moderately effective. To overcome these problems, it is proposed to implement a new process using autonomous flying image capture devices (wings and drones), and to carry out image analysis using AI techniques. In this context, the importance of the issues requires the implementation of the expert knowledge necessary to refine the analysis process, but also to provide results that are explainable to specialists.
