RESEARCH

We create new connections through advanced research and technology in vision, text, machine learning, UX and ethnography.
Our multidisciplinary approach to AI allows us to tackle challenges from different perspectives and gives greater meaning to our work.

Computer Vision

Visual search, scene parsing, human sensing, action recognition, pose estimation and lifelong learning for AR, robotics, search and autonomous driving.

3D Vision

In a connected world of people, robots and self-driving vehicles, we naturally need to have a good understanding of the 3D world we live in.

Search and Recommendation

Human-centric, multimodal strategies and modules built on accountable algorithms for transparency and trust.

Machine Learning and Optimization

Innovative models to design algorithms and imagine new tasks that push the boundaries and bring to life intelligent systems in our everyday lives.

Natural Language Processing

As the most natural and dominant mode of communication, we create language technology to seamlessly communicate with devices in a connected world.

UX and Ethnography

Getting a deep understanding of our environment to design services with which we can seamlessly interact.

Systemic AI

At the crossroads of AI and software engineering research, addressing the challenges of integrating AI/ML components.

Code and data

Data, code and models released by NAVER LABS Europe.

Web image search gets better with graph neural networks

A new approach to image search uses images returned by traditional search methods as nodes in a graph neural network through which similarity signals are propagated, achieving improved ranking in cross-modal retrieval.

A solution for greater algorithmic fairness in digital ranking systems

A new greedy, brute-force solution improves fairness in ranking and encompasses realistic scenarios with multiple, unknown protected groups.

Flow: enabling non-technical people to create and maintain applications

By incorporating a set of reusable constructs that enable advanced functionality, Flow makes platform-agnostic application modelling, creation, distribution and maintenance easy.
