This interdisciplinary project mixes research in the humanities and computational sciences to understand and explain the role of visual-motor exploratory strategies and lived experiences (e.g. individual concerns), in analysis of learning dynamics of fire-fighters. Traditionally, learning is studied

This project scientifically addresses the use of timbre to shape music through sound mixtures and orchestration. This aims to create cutting-edge technologies for human interaction with digital media that will change our understanding of music, provide innovative and accessible tools for the creatio

The ALEGORIA project aims at facilitating the promotion of iconographic institutional funds collections describing the French territory in various periods going from the interwar period to our days. The collections in sight are of variable sizes, between thousands and hundred thousand elements, and

HORAE (Hours - Recognition, Analysis, Editions) is a cross-disciplinary research project studying religious practices and experiences in the late Middle Ages through the books of hours, the absolute medieval best seller. In a public-private partnership, it gathers three partners in the Humanities an

The three goals of the project are: (1) to design innovative and widely-applicable technology to ensure the production chain of big data from historical tabular sources and to overcome the technological bottleneck impeding the “Big Data Revolution” in the sciences of the past; (2) to integrate into

A new research area of economic theory, called information design, emerged relatively recently and studies how information can be used to create incentives and influence economic and social outcomes. The questions addressed in this literature are what, when, and to whom information should be reveale

When documenting (digitizing) or studying CH objects, the respect for their integrity is a fundamental principle. The study of their composition and their interaction with time and the environment requires the limitation as much as possible of sampling and the use of dedicated observation means. The

What is a program? Given the broad use of software apps across our lifes, one would expect that such a basic and fundamental question has been answered long ago because we need a notion of program if we want to decide on issues such as the patentability of software or responsability when a software-

The digital revolution is at the origin of an international effort that started a couple of years ago towards digitizing and linking lexicographic resources (see COST action “European Network of e-Lexicography”). Historical French and Romance linguistics also took part in this dynamic, through initi

The Foucault’s Reading Notes project (FFL) aims at investigating and displaying an important part of Foucault’s reading notes that are preserved at the French National Library. This corpus, of many thousand pages, holds a substantial collection of citations and references, written, organized and ann

The evolution and maturity of information technology have facilitated the emergence of a new way of research which aims at using the power of computers to literary and historical research. Digital Humanities today became a separate discipline whose goal, both societal and technology, is to go beyond

This project investigates how Discourse Analysis (DA) should benefit from the integration of Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques to reinforce its methodological tools and to conduct deeper and wider studies. Its main goal will be the development and/or adaptation of NLP solutions (in parti

HyperOtlet is a multi and transdisciplinary project about a major book in the history of information sciences: Le Traité de documentation, written in 1934 by a Belgian lawyer: Paul Otlet († 1944). Passionate militant of a new field, documentation, he created original tools and practices and thus, a

The general objective of the ANTRACT project is the analysis of the images and sounds produced weekly in the framework of an independent company created in 1945, les Actualités françaises (French News), over twenty five years. This major cinematographic vector, already partially worked, has never be

Production of photorealistic images requires to use light simulation, that highlight visual noise. This noise disappears gradually as a function of the convergence rate of the computing methods, but at a very high time cost. This drawback is particularly penalizing when computing 3D images sequences
