Vicky Kalogeiton
I am the Assistant Professor (MCF) in Computer Vision at École Polytechnique. I am affiated with the VISTA team (previously GeoViC) at the Computer Science Laboratory (LIX). My research interests focus on multimodal learning split into three axes: generativeAI (text-to-image generation), video understanding using text and audio, and multimodal medical applications! At Polytechnique, I am the main genAI researcher and I publish papers in the most prestigious computer vision conferences (CVPR, ICCV, ECCV) and top journals (T-PAMI, IJCV).
Previously, I was a research fellow at VGG, University of Oxford, where I worked with Andrew Zisserman. I completed my PhD at the CALVIN group, University of Edinburgh and the THOTH team, INRIA Grenoble (previous name LEAR) advised by Vittorio Ferrari and Cordelia Schmid.
I am always looking for new collaborations and students! Email me, if you want to discuss or work with me!
Open positions
- I have a post-doc opening in multimodal generative AI. Apply if interested!
- I am always looking for motivated students and researchers to join my group. Please consider applying if you are interested in generativeAI with a focus on multimodality!
