PhD position summary/title: 2022-05169 – PhD Position F/M Modeling Kinesthetic and Tactile Properties of Virtual Environments
The goal of this PhD is to propose a complete haptics pipeline that is agnostic on the haptic device used and integrate not only the definition of the haptic properties, but also the interaction characteristics of the user. The rendering of the haptic properties should not only be driven by the virtual object properties, but also by the actions of the user in the virtual environment [Vizcay 2021]. Thus, the interaction capabilities of the user should be taken into account [Dewez 2021]. In particular, avatars, the users’ virtual representation, is becoming ubiquitous in virtual reality applications. In this context, the avatar becomes the medium which enables users to interact with the virtual environment and also the main source of tactile and kinesthetic sensations. Moreover, the user’s avatar can modulate the perceived haptic sensations [Jauregui 2014], enabling a wider range of sensations that the ones provided solely by haptic actuators. Finally, haptic sensations should be congruent with the actual user’s actions in order to avoid the potential generation of an uncanny valley [Berger 2018], which is strongly linked with the notions of presence [Skarbez 2017] and virtual embodiment [Kilteny 2012].

PhD position summary/title: 2023-05971 – PhD Position F/M [Campagne CORDI-S] PhD Position – Robust Anomaly Detection in Multimodal Neuroimaging
The aim of this PhD project is to develop innovative computational imaging tools to model abnormalities, defined as deviations from normal variability, from multimodal brain imaging. To that purpose, deep generative models such as variational auto-encoders and generative adversarial networks will be used to generate pseudo-healthy images from real patients’ images for different modalities (magnetic resonance imaging, positron emission tomography). Comparing pseudo-healthy and real images will provide individual maps of abnormalities. The uncertainty of the generation process will be monitored using techniques such as ensemble modelling to provide a measure of confidence. By extracting the abnormal signal from the images, these abnormality maps will assist clinicians in their diagnosis by providing a clear representation of the pathology.

The recent spectacular rise of the Internet of Things (IoT) and the associated augmentation of the data deluge motivated the emergence of Edge computing [1] as a means to distribute processing from centralized Clouds towards decentralized processing units close to the data sources. The key idea is to leverage computing and storage resources at the “edge” of the network, i.e., near the places where data is produced (e.g., sensors, routers, etc.). They can be used to filter and to pre-process data or to perform (simple) local computations (for instance, a home assistant may perform a first lexical analysis before requesting a translation to the Cloud).

Cultural knowledge evolution deals with the evolution of knowledge representation in a group of agents. For that purpose, cooperating agents interact with their environment and other agents. When these agents find their behaviour inadequate, which can be detected by failing to understand others, they use operators to adapt their beliefs. This framework has been considered in the context of evolving natural languages [Steels, 2012]. We have applied it to ontology alignment repair, i.e. the improvement of incorrect alignments [Euzenat, 2017] and ontology evolution [Bourahla et al., 2021]. We have shown that it converges towards successful communication through improving the intrinsic knowledge quality.

PhD position summary/title: 2023-05910 – PhD Position F/M [Campagne DOC MI-NF-GRE-2023] Data-driven modeling for nonsmooth dynamical systems. Application to the gravity-driven flows in mountains
TRIPOP is a joint research team of Inria Grenoble Rhône-Alpes and of the Laboratoire Jean Kuntzmann and started in January 2018. The team is mainly concerned with the modeling, the mathematical analysis, the simulation and the control of nonsmooth dynamical systems, with a strong application to modeling natural environmental risks in mountains. Nonsmooth dynamics concerns the study of the time evolution of systems that are not smooth in the mathematical sense, i.e., systems that are characterized by a lack of differentiability, either of the mappings in theirs formulations, or of theirs solutions with respect to time. In mechanics, the main instances of nonsmooth dynamical systems are multibody systems with Signorini’s unilateral contact, set-valued (Coulomb-like) friction and impacts, or in continuum mechanics, ideal plasticity, fracture or damage. The members of the team have a long experience of nonsmooth dynamics modeling together with the development of simulation software.

PhD position summary/title: 2023-05832 – PhD Position F/M Taking into account metrological aging and network failure inside sensor networks applied to structural monitoring
Structural health monitoring consists in integrating sensors into a structure, typically transportation or energy infrastructures, in order to monitor its health without further knowledge, solely from measurements through a software/hardware system comprising a set of sensors communicating (wired or wirelessly) with a smart supervisor integrating models and decision algorithms, merging and interpreting in-situ data. The usage of this type of system is increasing and some commercial examples can be found: SERCEL’s S-lynk system or HBK Monitoring solutions, etc. Those products generally do not take into account the quality or availability of sensor data over time. However, they are dependent on the quality of the wireless network and the aging of the communication system. While the managers of critical structures (EDF, SNCF, etc.) are waiting, more than ever [3], for reliable and long-term solutions for the control of structures, metrological aging coupled with local failure (in space and/or time) of a part of the network is rarely taken into account [4].

PhD position summary/title: 2023-05753 – PhD Position F/M Neurons, Burst and Adaptive Controller/Observer: Induced Contraction
The development of digital technology is no longer sustainable and the end of `Moore’s law’ is now happening. Neuromorphic engineering is a response to this inefficiency of digital machines in comparison to the animal world, in which the bits and clocks of digital computers are replaced by the spikes and rhythms of analog electronic circuits. We believe that by studying the non-intuitive analogy that exists between neurons and classical adaptive controllers: the appearance of bursting with or without injection of white noise, we head for the theory of designing event-based online adaptation, which is energy efficient compared to the digital machines prevalent these days. Moreover, our hypothesis is that bursting is necessary to induce contraction, hence for adaptation, in both examples of neurons and classical adaptive controllers. Thereby, we plan to base our study on the theory of induced contraction, motivated by the phenomenon of noise-induced synchronization of neurons.

PhD position summary/title: 2023-05754 – PhD Position F/M [ALRC 2023] Synchronization of uncertain and different-type systems via reinforcement learning
The problem of synchronizing different and uncertain dynamical systems (agents) appears in multiple contexts: electrical, mechanical or biological systems, network communications, etc. The difficulty comes from the need to force distinct dynamics (e.g., of mass, size, or even physical nature) to make similar movements by rejecting external disturbances. The uncertainty of the models for the agents introduces another technical obstacle for the realization of synchronous movements. The connection topology (leader-follower, or mutual), and the associated communication delays, represent other complications to synchronization, which must also be neglected by agents. Finally, constraints on allowable movements for each participant (e.g., avoiding collisions) turn this problem into a highly nonlinear and nonconvex question, where conventional control theory fails to provide a solution. The existing methods, mainly related to the model predictive control approach, deal with simple linear models of the systems, with a limited uncertainty, while assuming a convexity of the optimized goal functional, which is rarely observed in practice. The objective of this thesis project is to design synchronization control algorithms under severe uncertainty conditions, with the presence of other uncertain agents, which penalize the risk of error and its cost. The complexity of the posed problem requires an interdisciplinary approach for its solution, as envisaged in this project, which belongs to an intersection of the fields of machine learning and control theory. It is intended to combine reinforcement learning and model predictive control approaches for the realization of synchronization strategies for different and uncertain dynamic agents.

In the field of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), the effects of latency on user behavior are often studied below 200 ms [Pavlovych 2009], but some performance models successfully describe target acquisition tasks with (fixed) latencies up to 4 seconds [Hoffmann 1992] [Hoffmann 2017].

Articulatory synthesis mimics the speech production process by first generating the shape of the vocal tract from the sequence of phonemes to be pronounced, then the acoustic signal by solving the aeroacoustic equations [1, 2]. Compared to other approaches to speech synthesis which offer a very high level of quality, the main interest is to control the whole production process, beyond the acoustic signal alone.
The objective of this PhD is to succeed in the inverse transformation, called acoustic to articulatory inversion, in order to recover the geometric shape of the vocal tract from the acoustic signal. A simple voice recording will allow the dynamics of the different articulators to be followed during the production of the sentence.

Fog computing is an extension of the traditional cloud computing model in which compute, storage, and network capabilities are distributed closer to users [1]. Fog computing is motivated by the need to support Internet of Things (IoT) applications, such as smart cities and AI-enabled surveillance systems, that have strict demands for bandwidth and low-latency computation. A compelling programming model for developing such applications is the Function-as-a-Service (FaaS) model [2], the core element of serverless computing. FaaS supports easy movement of functions along the cloud-to-thing continuum, allowing optimizing for diverse factors, such as latency and energy efficiency. Moreover, FaaS supports fine-grained, short-lived resource allocations, enabling increased infrastructure utilization.

PhD position summary/title: 2023-05779 – Doctorant F/H Diagnostiquer l’acoustique d’une salle grâce au traitement du signal et à l’apprentissage automatique
Verrou 1 : Directivité et information géométrique
Nos études préliminaires ont permis de développer des méthodes qui, dans des conditions idéalisées, permettent d’estimer les profils d’absorption des parois étant donnée la géométrie de la pièce d’une part [1,2,3], et d’estimer la géométrie d’une pièce aux parois idéales d’autre part [4]. Un verrou majeur est la généralisation de ces méthodes à des sources, microphones et parois réels, c’est-à-dire, dont leurs réponses dépendent de la fréquence et de l’angle, ainsi que l’hybridation de ces approches pour pallier à une connaissance imparfaite de la géométrie dans les cas d’usages réels.
Verrou 2 : Guidage hybride par la physique et les données
L’état de l’art se scinde en deux types d’approches : celles purement guidées par les données annotées simulées, consistant à entraîner un modèle type réseau de neurones, et celles purement guidées par la physique, résolvant par optimisation un problème inverse reposant sur un modèle acoustique idéalisé. Un verrou important consiste à tirer le meilleur de ces deux paradigmes en les hybridant. Cela passera par l’amélioration du réalisme physique des simulateurs, l’utilisation de techniques dites auto-supervisé sur données non-annotées, et l’emploi de techniques dites d’unrolling pour corriger les modèles physiques sous-jacents par apprentissage.
Verrou 3 : Diffusion et géométries complexes
Les approches en acoustique des salles, d’intérêt pour nos travaux, considèrent uniquement des boîtes aux parois parfaitement spéculaires et réfléchissantes. Il y a donc un verrou fort à lever d’un point de vue de la modélisation acoustique pour généraliser ce modèle simple à des situations plus proches de la réalité, incluant géométries complexes et phénomènes de diffusion aux parois. Bien que d’importantes bases théoriques existent sur différents aspects de cette modélisation, leur combinaison en un modèle tractable et adapté aux réalités de l’acoustique du bâtiment reste ouverte.

PhD position summary/title: 2022-05275 – PhD Position F/M Self-supervised learning for implicit shape reconstruction
Recent years have seen a surge in implicit neural shape representations for modeling 3D objects and scenes within deep learning frameworks. Thanks to their ability to continuously represent detailed shapes with arbitrary topologies in a memory-efficient way, these representations alleviate many of the shortcomings of the traditional alternatives such as polygon meshes, point clouds and voxel grids. In practice, these shape functions are typically multi-layer perceptrons mapping 3D points to occupancy or signed distance values. The zero level set of the inferred field can be rendered differentiably through variants of ray marching and tessellated into explicit meshes with Marching Cubes. Coupling these implicit neural functions with conditioning mechanisms allows generalization across multiple shapes. For instance, combining their inputs with local features generated from additional encoding networks [1,2,3,4] yields single forward pass inference models that can learn 3D reconstruction from various input modalities such as images [5,6] or partial point clouds [1,2,3,4].
