Hervé Le Borgne

Researcher at CEA-List, Univ. Paris Saclay

My research is in the area of computer vision with a particular interest on relating visual and textual content and visual generative models. I work at CEA-List, that is associated with Université Paris-Saclay.

Main public projects

  • the STUDIES (ANR 2024 - 2027) project
  • the SHARP (PEPR IA 2023 - 2027) project aims to design, analyze and deploy intrinsically frugal models (neural or not) able to achieve the versatility and performance of the best models while requiring only a vanishing fraction of the resources currently needed.
  • the Vanguard (EU Horizon 2023-2026) project aims to strengthen the fight against trafficking in human beings through the provision of improved intelligence picture, delivery of advanced and trustworthy suite of tools, and realisation of innovative training activities.
  • the Meerqat project (ANR 2019 - 2024) proposes to tackle the problem of analyzing ambiguous visual and textual content by learning and combining their representations and by taking into account the existing knowledge about entities
  • the AI4MEDIA project (EU H2020 - 2024) aspires to become a Centre of Excellence engaging a wide network of researchers across Europe and beyond, focusing on delivering the next generation of core AI advances and training to serve the Media sector, while ensuring that the European values of ethical and trustworthy AI are embedded in future AI deployments.

Teaching

I give courses and tutorials of deep learning at CentraleSupelec (since 2017).

Before, I have given courses of computer vision at Centrale Paris (2016), tutorials of NLP at INSTN (2007-2009), courses of video compression at Dublin City University during my post-doc (2005-2006) and various tutorials at Université Joseph Fourier and INP Grenoble during my thesis (2001-2003).

Contact

Short bio

Hervé Le Borgne is a researcher at the CEA-List since 2006, carrying out research on computer vision and focusing on the links between visual and textual content. Previously, he received his Ph.D. from the INP Grenoble in 2004 and worked as a post-doc at Dublin City university from 2004 to 2006. He published more than 60 articles in international conferences and journals dealing with computer vision, multimedia retrieval, text-to-image models and more generally multimedia mining in order to extract semantic. He has served as a reviewer for several international conferences and journals, including CVPR, ICCV, ACM Multimedia, IEEE T. PAMI and IEEE T. Multimedia. He has been a project manager since 2006, both for public funded projects and industrial contracts. He supervised 20 master students and co-advised six Ph.D. in collaboration with Ecole Centrale Paris and CNAM.
