Álvaro González Jiménez is a Masters intern at the Perception Team from February to July 2020. His topic is probabilistic losses for robust deep regression.

SPRING — Socially Pertinent Robots in Gerontological Healthcare — is an H2020 ICT Project, from January 1st 2020, until December 31st 2023, with a total budget of 8.3 MEUR. I am the coordinator of the project as well as Inria’s principal investigator. The project aims to to develop Socially Assistive Robots with the capacity of performing ...

Xiaoyu Bie started his PhD in the Perception Team on December 1st, 2019. Xiaoyu’s PhD deals with deep probabilistic generative models for audio-visual data, and happens in close collaboration with Prof. Laurent Girin (G-INP, Grenoble). Xiaoyu’s PhD is funded by the Multidisciplinary Institute of Artificial Intelligence.

Anand Ballou started his PhD in the Perception Team on November 1st, 2019. Anand’s PhD deals with reinforcement learning for audio-visual HRI, and happens in close collaboration with Dr. Radu Horaud (Inria, Grenoble). Anand’s PhD is funded by the Multidisciplinary Institute of Artificial Intelligence.

Louis Airale started his PhD in the Pervasive and Perception Teams on October 1st, 2019. Louis’s PhD deals with multi-modal (audio-visual) data generation, and happens in close collaboration with Prof. Dominique Vaufreydaz (UGA, Grenoble). Louis’s PhD is funded by the Initiatives de Recherche Stratégiques Program of IDEX at Université Grenoble Alpes.

Wen Guo started her PhD in the Perception Team on October 1st, 2019. Wen’s PhD deals with multi-person body pose estimation, and happens in close collaboration with Dr. Francesc Moreno-Noguer (UPC, Barcelona). Wen’s PhD is funded by the PIMPE Project of the International Strategic Partnerships Program of IDEX at Université Grenoble Alpes.

The PIMPE project (pronounced /pim’pe/) is a project funded by the International Strategic Partnerships call of the “Investissements d’avenir” program (ANR-15-IDEX-02). The project funds a PhD student, Wen Guo, through a bilateral commitment between Université Grenoble Alpes and Institut de Robòtica Industrial of Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya. Wen is therefore co-advised between Dr. Francesc Moreno-Noguer ...

Within the framework of the Multidisciplinary Institute of Artificial Intelligence, Radu Horaud and myself co-chair the audio-visual machine perception and interaction for companion robots initiative. Anand Ballou and Xiaoyu Bie‘s PhDs are funded via this program.

The MidGEN project is funded by the Initiatives de Recherche Stratégiques call of the “Investissements d’avenir” program (ANR-15-IDEX-02). The project funds a PhD student, Louis Airale, who is co-advised between Prof. Dominique Vaufreydaz and myself. Executive Summary This project addresses researches within the so-called “Ambient Assisted Living” (AAL) research field, more precisely on assistance to elderly or ...

Mostafa Sadeghi, Simon Leglaive, Xavier Alameda-PIneda, Laurent Girin, Radu Horaud . We show how one can use visual data to better enhance speech, specifically in presence of unseen noise types. Abstract: Variational auto-encoders (VAEs) are deep generative latent variable models ...
