Guillaume Fortier

We describe QCompere consortium submissions to the REPERE 2013 evaluation campaign. The REPERE challenge aims at gathering four communities (face recognition, speaker identification, optical character recognition and named entity detection) towards the same goal: multimodal person recognition in TV broadcast. First, four mono-modal components are introduced (one for each foregoing community) co...

Bilingualism was long regarded as the equal mastery of two languages, a definition that still prevails in certain glossaries of linguistics. However, today's complex world requires a more exact definition and analysis of the competencies that community members require to interact with speakers o...

Vanishing Homology Guillaume

In this paper we introduce a new homology theory devoted to the study of families such as semi-algebraic or subanalytic families and in general to any family definable in an o-minimal structure (such as Denjoy-Carleman definable or ln − exp definable sets). The idea is to study the cycles which are vanishing when we approach a special fiber. This also enables us to derive local metric invariant...

Hence, whenever one engages in applied work testing a model, there will be issues of generalizability of the results to other data sets, environments, subject population, etc. Such concerns extend to experimental data sets since, in partic...
