real-time street frames.
Learning Sentiment-Specific Word embedding for Twitter Sentiment Classification.
A Visualisation showing the distribution of word vectors in a lower dimentional 2D feature space using T-SNE and Bokeh after I did use the Deepnl library to embed effectively words based on their spatial but also semantic context.
Real time smoke detection based on Texture and color Descriptors (fr : Détection en temps réel de la fumée.

A frame showing the end results of a computer vision-based smoke detector I developed in Signal and Image Processing Lab Tunisia, which is based on Local Binary Pattern and color descriptors as well as on image processing thresholding rules.

Image Compression with deep neural networks (Compressive Autoencoders).
A survey scientific paper which I have written to discuss the usage of neural networks and specifically deep learning autoencoders as alternatives to most common compression techniques such as JPEG standard, the paper showed that compressive autoencoders are able to surpass JPEG performance in many cases.
