Prof.
Chaabane Djeraba obtained a Master and Ph.D degrees in Computer
Science, from respectively the "Pierre Mendes France" University of
Grenoble (France) and the "Claude Bernard" University of Lyon
(France).
Beforehand, he obtained an engineering degree in Computer Science at
the
National Institute of Informatics (INI, now called ESI, Algeria). He
then became an Assistant and Associate Professor in Computer Science
at the Polytechnic School of Nantes University, France. Since 2003, he
has been a full Professor at the University of Lille Nord Europe
(University of Lille1) and co-heads the Fox-Miire group within the
Computer Science Laboratory (LIFL). His research and teaching
activities are also held in the Telecom-Lille1 Engineering School.
His current research interests cover the extraction of information
(emotion, abnormal events, suspect events, gaze, flow) from videos and
the application to human behavior understanding and multimedia indexing and
mining.
Prof. Chaabane Djeraba produced more than 150
publications in journals, book chapters and conferences. He published
two books. He was a guest editor for several journals (ACM TOMCCAP,
MTAP, IEEE Multimedia, IJPEDS). He actively contributed to several
collaborative regional, national and European projects. He coordinated
a European project (Miauce FP6) for 3 years. He was involved as an
expert-evaluator of project proposals at a national level (National
Network of Innovation in Audiovisual and Multimedia - RIAM) and
European level (FP7 – IST – e-inclusive program). He participated in
the standardization process related to multimedia (MPEG-7).
He
chaired and founded several international workshops such as the
international workshop on Content-Based Multimedia Indexing and
Retrieval (CBMI) in 2001 and the ACM international workshop on
Multimedia Data Mining (ACM KDD/MDM) in 2002. The workshop inspired the
Multimedia Mining theme of ACM SIGKDD. He took part to several program
committees of conferences (e.g. ACM SIGKDD, ACM MM), and he is serving several editorial boards of journals (e.g. MTAP).
