Pluri-disciplinary research

Machine learning is intrinsically pluri-disciplinary. By developing large-scale machine learning models and algorithms for processing data, the Thoth team became naturally involved in pluri-disciplinary collaborations that go beyond visual modelling. In particular,

• extensions of unsupervised learning techniques originally developed for modelling the statistics of natural images have been deployed in neuro-imaging for fMRI data with the collaboration of the Parietal team from Inria.

• similarly, deep convolutional data representations, also originally developed for visual data, have been successfully extended to the processing of biological sequences, with collaborators from bio-informatics.

• Thoth also collaborates with experts in natural language and text processing, for applications where visual modalities need to be combined with text data.
