Bilateral Contracts with Industry
CIFRE PhD: Incremental dynamic construction of knowledge bases from text mining
Participants : Guillaume Gravier, Cyrielle Mallart, Pascale Sébillot.
Duration: 3 years, started in Dec. 2018
Partner: Ouest France
In the context of a newspaper, the thesis explores the combination of text mining and knowledge representation techniques to assist the extraction, interpretation and validation of valuable pieces of information from the journal’s content so as to incrementally build a full-scale knowledge base. This thesis is in close relation with the iCODA Inria Project Lab, with direct contribution to the project’s results.
CIFRE PhD: Embedding heterogeneous data for directory search
Participants : Vincent Claveau, Guillaume Gravier, François Torregrossa.
Duration: 3 years, started in Dec. 2018
Partner: SoLocal
The thesis aims at learning how to jointly exploit heterogeneous sources of information (e.g., names, activity sector, user profiles, queries, etc.) in the design of neural network embeddings for information retrieval and language understanding. Applications cover natural language query analysis and personalized information retrieval in Pagesjaunes’ directory.
CIFRE PhD: Few shot learning for object recognition in aerial images
Participants : Yannis Avrithis, Yann Lifchitz.
Duration: 3 years, started in March 2018
Partner: Safran Tech
This is a CIFRE PhD thesis project aiming to study architectures and learning techniques most suitable for object recognition from few samples and to validate these approaches on multiple recognition tasks and use-cases related to aerial images.
