Contexte et atouts du poste

A phd position is open in Astra-vision, the computer vision group of ASTRA, a newly-created joint Valeo+Inria research team on autonomous and safe driving. The research will take place in the context of a collaboration between valeo.ai, an international team conducting AI research for Valeo automotive applications, in the Astra-vision group that focuses on Vision and 3D Perception for Scene Understanding. The candidate will be located in the Inria office, in central Paris.

Mission confiée

This PhD project focuses on advancing vision foundation models for robust and generalizable scene understanding. The candidate will explore large-scale pretraining strategies, multimodal supervision (e.g., image-text or image-depth), and techniques for transferring knowledge across domains and tasks. The research will address fundamental challenges such as domain shifts, data efficiency, and interpretability of large vision models. The candidate will contribute to designing scalable architectures and training protocols, with potential applications in areas such as 3D perception, robotics, or autonomous systems. This is an exciting opportunity to work at the frontier of modern computer vision and deep learning, with strong theoretical and experimental components.

 

Aside from close interactions with the supervisors both at Inria and valeo.ai, the applicant student is expected to actively participate in group readings, seminars, discussions, team spirit, etc.
