CENTRE NATIONAL DE LA RECHERCHE SCIENTIFIQUE CNRS

LAAS is a laboratory of the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS). Its research activities fall within the domain of Information Sciences and Technologies. and address complex systems (artificial and sometimes natural) generally heterogeneous, and at different scales, to devise theories, methodologies and tools for modeling, designing and controlling them.

The lab has a history of strong relationships with industry and works in a large number of collaborative projects with international, national and regional industries of all size. LAAS was one of the 20 first “Carnot Institutes” labeled in 2006. The systems considered in its research are of different kinds: integrated systems, embedded systems with real time and safety requirements, distributed systems, mobile systems, autonomous and robotics systems, micro and nano systems, biological systems.

They fall in various application domains such as aeronautics and space, telecommunications, transports, production, services, security and defense, energy management, healthcare, environment and sustainable development.

CESKE VYSOKE UCENI TECHNICKE V PRAZE

The Czech Institute of Informatics, Robotics and Cybernetics (CIIRC CTU) is a university institute of the Czech Technical University in Prague (CTU). CIIRC CTU was founded on July 1, 2013. One of the main objectives of the CIIRC is to integrate information and cybernetic research and education at the CTU, building on the links to the out-of- city centers as well as on strong links with international research centers.

The CIIRC is a rapidly developing research institute, which also focuses on the teaching of students and technology transfer to industry. Its fields of interest are, for example, automatic control and optimization, robotics, artificial intelligence, computer graphics, computer vision and machine learning, designing software systems, designing decision and diagnostic systems and their applications in medicine, energy transport, including smart homes and smart cities.

INSTITUT NATIONAL DE RECHERCHE EN INFORMATIQUE ET AUTOMATIQUE

Created in 1967, INRIA is the only French public research institution entirely dedicated to computer sciences. The INRIA-WILLOW team is a joint team established between INRIA Paris, the ENS, and the CNRS.

WILLOW addresses fundamental computer vision problems such as three-dimensional perception, computational photography, and embodied image and video understanding. It investigates new models of image content (what makes a good visual vocabulary?) and of the interpretation process (what is a good recognition architecture?).

WILLOW’s goal is to develop models of the entire visual understanding process that are learnable without the need for direct supervision, support complex reasoning about visual data, and are grounded in interactions with the physical world. More concretely, WILLOW addresses fundamental scientific challenges along five research axes:
(i) visual recognition in images and videos with an emphasis on weakly supervised learning;
(ii) learning embodied visual representations for robotic manipulation and locomotion; (iii) image restoration and enhancement;
(iv) 3D object and scene modelling, analysis and retrieval; and
(v) embodied representation for robotics.

Recent achievements of the team include theoretical work on the geometric foundations of computer vision, new advances in image restoration tasks such as deblurring, denoising, or upsampling, and weakly-supervised methods of learning representation for text-video retrieval and action localization. WILLOW members collaborate closely with the SIERRA and THOTH teams at Inria, and researchers at places such as Carnegie-Mellon University, UC Berkeley, or Facebook AI Research, in efforts that reflect the strong synergy between machine learning and computer vision, with new opportunities in domains ranging from archaeology to robotics.
