Grants

  • 2016 MLIA was selected together with 22 European teams, as a recipient of the Facebook AI Research (FAIR) partnership program for providing academic labs GPU servers for promoting AI and Deep Learning. MLIA is one of the 3 French teams selected by this program. Note that 3 former PhD of MLIA are currently researchers at FAIR. Considering the extremely highly selection level of FAIR, this is also an indicator of the quality of the PhDs from the team.
  • 2016, Technicolor grant (via UPMC Foundation), 50k euros for supporting the research activity on Deep Learning for vision.
