PhD Position on Deep Multimodal Models for Empowering Audio-Visual StoryTelling at EURECOM (France)
Eurecom
The overall objective of this research program is to develop novel methods and tools for digital storytelling. To his aim, an improved scientific understanding of multimodal media content analysis, linking and consumption will be developed. This PhD program addresses more specifically the following topics:
• Combine the best available knowledge in machine processing, machine learning and human editing of verbal description, to industrialise the process of digital storytelling and re-use and re-purposing of existing media as new resources by both the media producers and the media consumers.
• Develop state of the art techniques for analyzing audio-visual content (including text), so that multimodal data can be extensively described. The extracted descriptions will serve to structure and annotate semantically large archives of audiovisual data and to better understand their content and evolution.
• Study and implement temporal segmentation approaches that take context and content into account in order to define in a precise and localized way (temporally and possibly spatially) the semantic fragmentation of audio-visual documents
• Investigate and evaluate automatic methods for detecting key moments and identifying relevant hyperlinks in audio-visual contents in the context of the project and in International benchmarking events.
This PhD position is funded by the MeMAD H2020 European project: www.memad.eu. MeMAD stands for Methods for Managing Audiovisual Data and aims to develop automatic language-based methods for managing, accessing and publishing pre-existing and originally produced Digital Content in an efficient and accurate manner within the Creative Industries, especially in TV broadcasting and in on-demand media services.

Post-Doc on Deep Learning for Archive Video Analysis
EURECOM
The EURECOM Data Science Department is looking for a postdoctoral fellow to study and develop machine learning methods for video analysis within the ANR ANTRACT project (https://antract.hypotheses.org) in collaboration with INA (National Audiovisual Institute) and historians.
ANTRACT is a project funded by the National Research Agency (ANR). It is devoted to the analysis of images and sounds produced for nearly twenty-five years by the French News, a film press company created in 1945. This corpus, a major cinematic vector of the cultural, social and political history of France’s “Trente Glorieuses” (the glorious thirty years), has never been the subject of a systematic analysis. It will propose new search approaches on these filmed archives to the scientific community thanks to recent technological tools of analysis of the audio-visual and textual contents; i.e. analysis of the image and the sound, automatic transcription of the speech and textometry.
Your contribution revolves around the improvement of technologies for image and visual sequence analysis. The automatic detection of certain types of shots in a show or the detection of a celebrity in a report, are some examples of the type of (semi)-automated enrichment of audio-visual content that will allow the detailed annotation of the documents in this archive. In particular, the richness of these annotations will ensure unequaled access to the multimedia contents of this corpus by historians’ partners of the project.
