DeCore is a project-team funded by the Persyval Lab for 3.5 years (september 2016 – February 2020). It unites experts from Grenoble’s applied-math and computer science labs LJK, GIPSA-LAB and LIG in the areas of computer vision, machine learning, speech, natural language processing, and information retrieval. The purpose of DeCore is to stimulate collaborative interdisciplinary research on deep learning in the Grenoble area, which is likely to underpin future advances in machine perception (vision, speech, text) over the next decade.
