Linear video coding
Conventional and learning-based video compression — codecs, rate–distortion, and the boundary between hand-designed and neural pipelines.
The Multimedia (MM) team conducts research on the full life-cycle of multimedia data: from compression and transport to learning, explainability, and generation. We work where signal processing meets modern deep learning — with an emphasis on frugal, geometric, and multimodal approaches.
Conventional and learning-based video compression — codecs, rate–distortion, and the boundary between hand-designed and neural pipelines.
Representing complex scenes with multiple media, layouts, and interactions — beyond a single video stream.
Adapting multimedia content to networks, devices, and users — quality of experience under constraints.
Transport, orchestration, and protocols for delivering multimedia at scale.
Pruning, quantization, low-rank methods, and other tools to make deep models small enough to deploy.
Learning on graphs, manifolds, and structured domains — where the geometry of the data shapes the architecture.
We are happy to announce that four papers from the Multimedia team have been accepted at NeurIPS 2026.
We are happy to welcome Xiaoran Jiang as a new Maître de Conférences in our équipe!
Many congratulations to Stephan Alaniz who has received funding for his ANR JCJC project (VieLM).
