class="author-a-hgz69zz77zz87zz77zz76zz82zoz83zz82zvz83zz68z1g">:
Video analysis is one of the fundamental tasks in computer
vision. The dominant approach is based on deep neural networks
applied to RGB images. These models have disadvantages such as:
a) the need of large quantities of annotated data, which
requires significant human work; b) the significant
computational and therefore energy cost of these approaches; and
c) redundancy in terms of visual information between two
successive images. Spiking neural networks can offer a solution
to these problems, through the use of unsupervised learning
rules inspired by biological learning and the possibility of
implementing them on ultra-low energy hardware components. .
Event cameras that only communicate changes in light intensity
are positioned as an alternative for capturing a scene when
efficient processing on hardware with low computing capabilities
is required. The objective of this thesis is to offer a joint
response by proposing weakly supervised learning methods based
on spiking learning mechanisms which will directly exploit the
flow of impulses generated by an event camera. We are targeting
applications around autonomous driving, such as the detection of
moving vehicles or the recognition of information conveyed by
large displays along the road infrastructure.</span></div>

FOX research group is part of the CRIStAL laboratory (University
of Lille, CNRS), located in Lille, France. We focus on video
analysis for human behavior understanding. Specifically, we
develop spatio-temporal models of motions for tasks such as
abnormal event detection, emotion recognition, and face
alignment. We are also involved in IRCICA (CNRS), a research
institute promoting multidisciplanary research. At IRCICA, we
collaborate with computer scientists and experts in electronics
engineering to create new models of neural networks that can be
implemented on low-power hardware architectures. Recently, we
designed state-of-the-art models for image recognition with
single and multi-layer unsupervised spiking neural networks. We
were among the first to succesfully apply unsupervised SNNs on
modern datasets of computer vision. We also developed our own
SNN simulator to support experiments with SNN on computer vision
