The IntuiNaxe software results from a collaborative research agreement between the company Inaxe and the Shadoc team of the IRISA laboratory. This collaboration, supported by several successive contracts with INSA Rennes since 2019, has enabled the establishment of a trusted partnership. It led to co‑innovation through a technology transfer supported…
The twofold aim of the ANR SKETCH project is to 1) collaboratively design an intelligent tutoring system (ITS) that can analyze learners’ actions in real time during the freehand production of a complex scientific drawing on a tablet, and 2) assess and optimize the effects of this system and the…

The goal of this internship is to design a Transformer model and/or a learning strategy to recognize multiple languages and multiple layouts with a single model. See the pdf of the subject.
The goal of this internship will be to explore self-supervised learning in order to take advantage ofunsupervised IMU signals. See the pdf of the subject.
Description We introduce LPR-MNIST, a synthetic dataset replicating the key aspects of syntax evolution on vehicle license plates, as explored in the paper Relaxed syntax modeling in Transformers for future-proof license plate recognition. LPR-MNIST is a collection of 100,000 synthetic image-text pairs, generated by concatenating 5 black-and-white digits from MNIST, each…
The Synthetic Text line Image Generator (STIG) is a software dedicated to handwritten textline generation. It is available for free under conditions (see below). Description The Synthetic Text line Image Generator is a Python code dedicated to the generation of synthetic handwritten textline images. The software can generate textlines looking…
The Modular Light Transformer (MLT) is a software dedicated to text recognition. It is available for free under conditions (see below). Description The Modular Light Transformer is a software dedicated to text recognition. It is based on a lightweight Transformer-based neural network dealing with text-line images. The proposed software is…
Defended on November 22th 2024 Design of a deep neural network architecture dedicated to handwriting synthesis from kinematic sensors of a digital pen This thesis focuses on a digital pen equipped with kinematic sensors, and its aim is to reconstruct the in-line trace of handwriting. We introduce a new processing…
Defended on Decembre 20th 2023 Architectures de Transformer légères pour la reconnaissance de textes manuscrits anciens Transformer architectures deliver low error rates but are challenging to train due to limited annotated data in handwritten text recognition. We propose lightweight Transformer architectures to adapt to the limited amounts of annotated handwritten…
