I am a research director (directeur de recherche Inria) in the Thoth research team (formerly known as LEAR), based at the Inria Grenoble - Rhône-Alpes center. Since May 2024, I am the deputy scientific director in charge of AI at Inria and also a co-director of the PEPR IA research programme.
I was previously a chargé de recherche Inria (young researcher) in the same team, and many years ago a postdoctoral fellow in the Inria WILLOW team at the Department of Computer Science, École Normale Supérieure (ENS). I completed my Ph.D. in July 2010, under the supervision of Philip Torr. I am also an associate member of the Visual Geometry Group, University of Oxford.
My current research focuses on addressing the visual understanding problem in the context of large-scale datasets. In particular, I work on learning robust and effective visual representations, when only partially-supervised data is available. This includes frameworks such as incremental learning, weakly-supervised learning, adversarial training, etc.
