I am a Maître de Conférences (~associate professor) at INSA Rennes.
I conduct my research in the Linkmedia team of Irisa.
My research focuses on Natural Language Processing and Machine Learning.
My work can be summed up as the development of novel (combinatorial) algorithms and novel learning methods for structured prediction.
Lately, I've been increasingly interested in the use of machine learning for research in linguistics (or, in other words, AI for science).
