Image annotations, often in the form of tags, are very useful when indexing large image collections. They provide an intuitive human centered way to search and browse images using text queries. However, tagging images is very time consuming to do manually so researchers have developed methods for automatic image tagging. These methods rely on a set of example images with tags to learn what images should be associated with which tags.
One thing that has been overlooked with these systems is the fact that example images with tags are different in each language. Generally researchers have only made English automatic tagging systems and not considered the problems of building equally good systems in other minor languages where it is more difficult to obtain example images and tags.
In this thesis we study how an automatic tagging system in Japanese compares to an automatic tagging system in English. We find that the Japanese system suffers in performance and based on this we improve the performance by leveraging the dominant English language system. We compare an automatic translation of the tags using a dictionary to our proposed translation matrix method. Our method estimates the translation of tags based on the co-occurrence of different language tags in images.
We show that our proposed method using very simple heuristics performs about the same as a high end machine translator in the case of automatic tagging systems. There are several improvements to be made but with this work we show that the conceptual idea is strong, giving reasons to improve it further. The main contribution of our approach is the ability to translate words that a dictionary cannot interpret as well as considering the context when establishing a translation.

Nous commencons par développer un modèle qui permet au développeur de sélectionner avec précision les parties intéressantes de son système qui seront sauvegardées à des moments clefs. Ce modèle permet de parcourir facilement les différentes versions enregistrées et de faire cohabiter aisément les parties versionnées avec les parties non sélectionnées par le développeur. Ce modèle est de plus compatible avec trois types de versioning (linear, backtracking et branching versioning) qui permettent des opérations diverses sur la ligne du temps, comme supprimer toutes les versions après une version donnée ou créer une nouvelle branche à partir d'une ancienne version.
Ensuite nous développons les structures efficaces en temps et en espace qui implémentent ce modèle dans un monde réel. Basées sur les travaux de Driscoll et al. elles sont adaptées aux spécificités de chaque type de versioning.
Nous montrons ensuite comment ce système peut être intégré concrètement dans un langage orienté object. Plus précisément, nous montrons comment notre système peut être intégré de façon transparente pour le développeur grâce à des outils tels que les aspects ou la transformation de bytecodes.
Pour valider nos propos, nous avons implémenté notre système dans les langages de programmation Smalltalk et Java. Nous montrons des applications réelles qui l'utilisent, telles que les post-conditions à états et le problème du planar point location.
Nous terminons cette thèse par évaluer l'efficacité de notre implémentation en effectuant des benchmarks détaillés en Smalltalk et en Java. Nous avons notamment étudié l'espace pris par nos structures données et le temps d'éxecution de chaque opération de versioning.

In this dissertation, I investigate the domain of compounds in sign languages. Compounding has been documented as a key strategy to enrich the lexicon of sign languages even in situations of emergent sign languages. I address this topic with three main angles: typological/empirical, theoretical and experimental. In the typological/empirical part, I offer a thorough description of compounds in two sign languages: Italian and French Sign Language (LIS and LSF). I offer a refined and more comprehensive typology of compounds, in which classifiers and simultaneous forms are also taken into account.In the theoretical part, I provide a formal account of how to derive the whole typology of compounds found in LIS and LSF. I show i) that compounds can be derived in multiple ways depending on their morphosyntactic properties and ii) that morphosyntactic derivation is not the only process that affects the combinatorial options of compounding. Post-syntactic processes, especially linearization, have to have access to at least partial representations in order to distinguish between forms that have to be spelled out either sequentially or simultaneously.In the experimental part, I investigate whether phonological reduction is a sufficient condition to identify compounds in SL. I show that importing criteria from one SL to another can be done, but with extreme caution
