Title
Which challenges for DAR in the context of a hybrid world ?
Name
Jean-Marc OgierAbstract
With the digital transformation of our society, the status of the document has evolved rapidly. The document is no longer a static object, and has complex characteristics that raise many fundamental scientific questions:
1. While the document was initially a physical object, it can now be represented by different instances that can be physical and / or digital (whether they are natively digital documents or physical documents of recognition): many authors evoke the notion of hybrid world. This hybrid document therefore raises questions of traceability and numerical confidence important for socio-economic exchanges. Potential interesting research therefore concerns the possibilities of using DAR technologies to calculate electronic document signatures but also to protect documents with watermarking technologies adapted to their semantic content
2. The physical and / or digital document can now be extended, supplemented, and annotated with multimodal information (hand-written, digital, video, voice) that enrich the document. These document extensions may possibly be multi-authors. This raises many questions to develop in the future, based of DAR techniques. Indeed, this evolution raises many questions to develop new uses: information retrieval, indexing, etc. The multimodal nature of the documents raises problems of analysis and the recognition of heterogeneous digital contents, in order to propose information retrieval tools and navigation.
The presentation will focus on these two complex issues.
Short Bio
Jean-Marc Ogier received his PhD degree in computer science from the University of Rouen, France, in 1994. During this period (1991-1994), he worked on graphic recognition for Matra Ms&I Company. From 1994 to 2000, he was an associate professor at the University of Rennes 1 during a first period (1994-1998) and at the University of Rouen from 1998 to 2001. Now full professor at the university of la Rochelle, Pr Ogier was the head of L3I laboratory (research lab in computer sciences of the university of la Rochelle) which gathers more than 120 members and works mainly of Document Analysis and Content Management. Author of more than 200 publications / communications, he managed several French and European projects dealing with document analysis, either with public institutions, or with private companies. Pr Ogier was Deputy Director of the GDR I3 of the French National Research Centre (CNRS) between 2005 and 2013. He was also Chair of the Technical Committee 10 (Graphic Recognition) of the International Association for Pattern Recognition (IAPR) from 2010 to 2015, and is the representative member of France at the governing board of the IAPR. He is now the general chair of the TC6, dealing with computational forensics of the International Association for Pattern Recognition. Jean-Marc Ogier has been the general chair or the program chair of several international scientific events dealing with document analysis (DAS, ICDAR, GREC, …).
He was also Vice rector of the university of La Rochelle from 2005 to 2016, and president of VALCONUM association, which is an association aiming at forstering relations between industries and research organizations. He is now the president of the university of La Rochelle
