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. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>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. The selected candidate will have the opportunity to develop expertise in the areas of machine learning (deep multimodal approaches), data mining, research and content indexing in databases of very large multimedia content (big data). <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Requirements:<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>We are looking for highly motivated candidates to conduct high quality research work, to publish in prestigious conferences, eager to develop demonstrators at the forefront of data science and multimedia technology. Applicants must have a doctorate degree (or equivalent) in computer science or a related field, preferably on the topic of multimedia content analysis. They should also have good analytical skills and some experience in machine learning (Machine Learning, Deep Learning). Excellent programming skills are expected. A good level of written and spoken French or English is necessary. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Application:<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>The application file must include a Curriculum Vitae, names and addresses of three references, a motivation letter presenting the research perspective of the candidate.

The Principality of Monaco is a new institutional member. The Institut Mines-Télécom is EURECOM’s founding member. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>EURECOM benefits from a strong interaction with the industry through its specific administrative structure: Economic Interest Group (kind of consortium), which brings together international companies such as: Orange, BMW Group Research & Technology, Symantec, Monaco Telecom, SAP, IABG. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>EURECOM deploys its expertise around three major fields: Digital Security, Data Science and Communication Systems. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>EURECOM is particularly active in research in its areas of excellence while also training a large number of doctoral candidates. Its contractual research is recognized across Europe and contributes largely to its budget. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Thanks to its strong ties set up with the industry, EURECOM was awarded the “Institut Carnot” label jointly with the Institut Telecom right from 2006. The Carnot Label was designed to develop and professionalize cooperative research. It encourages the realization of research projects in public research centers that work together with socioeconomic actors, especially companies.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=FR style='font-family:"Courier New";color:#1F497D'>======================================================================<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=FR style='font-family:"Courier New";color:#1F497D'>Benoit Huet<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=FR style='font-family:"Courier New";color:#1F497D'>EURECOM tel: +33 (0)493008179<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=FR style='font-family:"Courier New";color:#1F497D'>Campus SophiaTech, 450 route des Chappes <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Courier New";color:#1F497D'>06410 Biot Sophia Antipolis email: </span><span style='color:#1F497D'><a href="mailto:Benoit.Huet@eurecom.fr"><span style='font-family:"Courier New";color:blue'>Benoit.Huet@eurecom.fr</span></a></span><span style='font-family:"Courier New";color:#1F497D'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=FR style='font-family:"Courier New";color:#1F497D'>France </span><span style='color:#1F497D'><a href="http://www.eurecom.fr/en/people/huet"><span lang=FR style='font-family:"Courier New";color:blue'>http://www.eurecom.fr/en/people/huet</span></a></span><span lang=FR style='font-family:"Courier New";color:#1F497D'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=FR style='font-family:"Courier New";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Courier New";color:#1F497D'>********* Join us in Nice in October for ACM Multimedia 2019 *********<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Courier New";color:#1F497D'>***************************************** <a href="http://www.acmmm.org/2019"><span style='color:blue'>www.acmmm.org/2019</span></a> *********<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div></body></html>
