Research activities
My PhD topic is "Robust segmentation of roads into speed limits using images". The basic idea is to classify road images according to their authorized speed limits taht road users might give to the roads. Images are considered as a part of sequences and this will be taken into account in our classification algorithm. Results will help evaluate incoherences between what drivers think the speed limits should be and what they actually are on the road signs.
Supervision
I've been since October 2016 a PhD student under the direction of Christophe Collet from the ICUBE lab and I am also supervised by Philippe Foucher from Cerema of Strasbourg.
Educational Background
Engineering school
I was a student of Télécom SudParis, a French Engineering School.
6-month Internship
I did my 6-month internship from February 2016 to August 2016 in Darmstadt, Germany, at UKP [1], a computational linguistics lab from Technische Universität Darmstadt. My internship was about summarization of live-blogs. First of all, I made a corpus of live-blogs in order to use it in a machine learning perspective. My supervisors were Avinesh PVS and Maxime Peyrard.
Engineering schol work
This work was about Part-of-speech tagging with help of Partially Pairwise Markov chains. I was supervised by Emmanuel Monfrini and Jean-Baptiste Courbot.
Member of a robotics club
During my three years at Télécom SudParis, I was a member of Intech. I was particularly interested in statistical filtering like (Kalman filter and unscented Kalman filter).in order to fiter results given by laser beacons and ultrasound beacons.
Supervision
- Group of first-year students from Télécom Physique Strasbourg which works on multi-agents programming applied to biological phenomena.
- Practical Exercises in Matlab - Linear Algebra and Matrix Calculus, medical students (2016).
