Scientific background

Linkmedia is de facto a multidisciplinary research team in order to gather the multiple skills needed to enable humans to gain insight into extremely large collections of multimedia material. It is multimedia data which is at the core of the team and which drives the design of our scientific contributions, backed-up with solid experimental validations. Multimedia data, again, is the rationale for selecting problems, applicative fields and partners.

Our activities therefore include studying the following scientific fields:

• multimedia: content-based analysis; multimodal processing and fusion; multimedia applications;

• computer vision: compact description of images; object and event detection;

• machine learning: deep architectures; structured learning; adversarial learning;

• natural language processing: topic segmentation; information extraction;

• information retrieval: high-dimensional indexing; approximate k-nn search; embeddings;

• data mining: time series mining; knowledge extraction.
