The Dynalips technology allows to precisely synchronize the lip movements of 3D characters and the words they are supposed to pronounce. This lipsync technology, based on the research work of Slim Ouni, associate professor in computer science and member of the Multispeech team (CNRS, Inria, University of Lorraine), offers a fast solution to precisely and automatically synchronize the lip movements of a 3D character with speech.
The workshop “Ethics in computer science: write your own dystopia” is intended for PhD students, students and researchers in computer science, natural language processing and philosophy. It aims to create a space for reflection and exchange to explore together the issues of research ethics through science fiction. It will take place on November 3 and 4, 2022 at the Château du Montet, in Vandoeuvre-lès-Nancy.
Open source and covering forty-six different languages, BigScience is a new artificial intelligence heavyweight offering natural language processing. Claire Gardent, a CNRS research director at the LORIA and winner of the CNRS Silver Medal, who also sits on the project’s steering committee, explains the principle as well as its potential applications.
Our digital lives are governed by a wide range of IT protocols used to protect the exchange of data, such as the EMV (Europay Mastercard Visa) standard for debit & credit card transactions or the TLS (Transport Layer Security) protocol, which protects internet connections. Jannik Dreier, an associate professor at Telecom Nancy and the University of Lorraine, and a member of PESTO, a joint Inria-LORIA team, has sought to identify vulnerabilities with these protocols. His ally in navigating these cryptographic labyrinths is a software program called Tamarin.
Information systems, connected objects, industrial systems… these environments face increasingly frequent and sophisticated computer attacks. Companies are prime targets for hackers and must protect themselves from this growing threat. The new Cybi startup is the fruit of the cybersecurity expertise of the RESIST team at the Loria laboratory (CNRS, Inria, Université de Lorraine). It provides offers solutions for analyzing computer attack paths and intelligently automating cybersecurity operations. Cybi has just been launched in Nancy by the Inria and the Université de Lorraine with support from the Lorrain Incubator and the Grand Est region.
