🤗 Experience

I asked my manager, Nicolas Renard, if I could quote this phrase 👆, and he agreed. Thank you, Nicolas, not only for being a great manager but also for your incredible irreplaceable substitution of the MBA course at Rennes School of Business! 🙏🙏🙏

At Jellysmack, my team went all out to help the web video creation space with innovative projects in computer vision and natural language processing serving creators worldwide.

The mission was twofold:
‣ Foster innovation through prototypes
‣ Provide research support to other AI/ML teams by bringing fresh, bibliographic, and pragmatic insights

We strive to invent and improve secret sauces, diligently craft deliverable code, conduct scientific and technological watch, and participate in internal and external discussions.

The greatest pride?

The video representation project, a combination of multiple kernel learning and Nyström approximation.

We meticulously gathered and harmonized the best video representations from research. Through our media experts' invaluable knowledge, we not only inferred our own combined similarity but also designed fixed-size vector representations for efficient clustering, retrieval, and success prediction estimation.

We changed the video editing profession by leveraging the work of our hundreds of professional editors, optimizing quick editing and short conversion processes for platforms such as YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok. By analyzing multiple high-level signals and designing various cutting methods, we provide suggestions to editors, ensuring a seamless and creative editing experience, minimizing time spent on tedious, non-artistic tasks.

From a scientific standpoint, it's intellectually challenging to process videos as this medium is multimodal: image, sound, speech, music, and movement. On the business side, these areas are very rewarding when considering video success and reduced time spent building them, clearly defining our pragmatic performance indicators.
