Multimodal Matching for Fashion products using deep learning methods: consists of using MUTAN, a method for multimodal fusion between Visual and Text using a binilear operation. Consistencies: - Extract the visual attributes using the Resnet-152 network with an attention mechanism - Extract the textual attributes using GRUs similar to RNN using a pre-trained Skip-Thoughts model - Training and validation of the multimodal model, - Classification using the KNN method to give us the products close to a desired product.

Energitic and agronomic valorization Assessement of raw biomasses and impregnated with olive mill wastewater × This research work deals with the energetic and agronomic valorization of two lignocellulosic materials (almond shell and olive solid wastes). • Target: Energy valorization: was carried out through a slow and controlled pyrolysis experiment in an anaerobic environment with the presence of inert gas (nitrogen) to give rise to by-products: Biochars, Bio-oil and Biogas can be exploited as an alternative source of energy (CH4, CO, CO2, and H2) Agronomic valorization: aims on one hand to use the solid residuals "Biochars" as a soil amendment, on the other hand providing crops with additional nutrients beneficial for their growth, in particular potassium. • Results: o Pyrolysis tests have shown that the two raw biomasses presented respectable yields production of biochars and bio-oils. o The biomasses impregnation with olive mill wastewaters has significantly accelerated the kinetic degradation of the tested biomasses, and has substantially increased the C2H6 yields production by the almond shell material o The application of impregnated biochars as amendment for sandy soil showed a significant increase in its water retention capacity, and also provided plants with significant amounts of nutrients, including potassium
