About me
Current affiliation:
Since September 2009, I work at LIFO, in the Constraints and Machine Learning team, led by Denys Duchier. I work as an Associate Professor (MdC) in the department of Computer Science of the University Institute of Technology (Institut Universitaire de Technologie) at the University of Orléans. My research interests include metagrammars, parsing, and semantic construction.
Previous affiliations:
From April 2008 to August 2009, I worked in the TALARIS team led by Patrick Blackburn at LORIA, on the Passage project funded by the ANR. My work was related to the development of tools for creating / maintaining a semantically annotated lexicon for large scale semantic calculus.
During the academic year 2008-2009, I also taught at the University Henri Poincaré - Nancy as a full time teaching fellow (ATER). For more information, see my Teaching page.
From July 2007 to March 2008, I was a post-doctoral research fellow in the Emmy-Noether-Project A Lexicalized Tree-Adjoining Grammar for a Fragment of German Focussing on Syntax and Semantics, led by Laura Kallmeyer at the University of Tübingen (thanks to a DAAD grant). This allowed me to start an ongoing collaboration on the following topics:
- semi-automatic production of Multi-Component Tree Adjoining Grammars with Tree Tuples (TT-MCTAG) using a metagrammar
- syntactic parsing of TT-MCTAG using Range Concatenation Grammar as a pivot formalism
From October 2007 to March 2008, I also worked as an adjunct lecturer in Computational Linguistics at the Seminar für Sprachwissenschaft (Department of Linguistics) of the University of Tübingen. I gave an introductory course on Information Retrieval in the ISCL program (more information can be found here).
Prior to working in the Emmy Noether project, I was a PhD student at LORIA, in the TALARIS team, under the supervision of Claire Gardent (I spent some time in the office b224). You can find more information about my PhD here and read my thesis (defended on 6 April 2007) there.
