History & Affiliation
The SIP (Systèmes Intelligents de Perception) team, founded in 1990 by Pr. Georges Stamon, is an academic research group affiliated with the LIPADE (Laboratoire d'Informatique de Paris Descartes) and hosted at the UFR Mathématiques et Informatique of Université Paris Cité. For over 30 years, we focus on AI for multimedia data analysis with rich semantic content (images, video, text).
What We Do
Academic fundamental research, multidisciplinary projects, and industrial collaborations. We model image representations closer to human semantics and reasoning using deep learning and generative AI, while incorporating external knowledge to bridge the semantic gap.
