I am a tenured researcher (chargé de recherche Inria) in the Thoth research team (formerly known as LEAR), based at the Inria Grenoble - Rhône-Alpes center.
I was previously a postdoctoral fellow in the Inria WILLOW team at the Department of Computer Science, École Normale Supérieure (ENS), where I worked with Ivan Laptev, Jean Ponce, and Josef Sivic. 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 and the WILLOW team at ENS.
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.
