Diane Larlus

I am a research scientist at the Xerox Research Center Europe (XRCE), in the Computer Vision group. My research interests include machine learning applied to computer vision. I am mainly working on object recognition and localization.

Short Bio

I obtained a M.Sc. in Image, Vision and Robotics from UJF/INP, Grenoble, France, in 2005. From 2005 to 2008, I worked as a doctoral candidate in the LEAR group, at INRIA Grenoble. During the summer 2007, I did an internship at the JRL/AIST laboratory in Tsukuba, Japan. I obtained my Ph.D. in 2008, from INP Grenoble. From 2008 to 2010, I worked as a post-doc at TU Darmstadt, Germany. I joined XRCE in October 2010.
