RESEARCH INTEREST
I am a Ph.D. student in computer science at GETA (Groupe d’Etude pour la
Traduction Automatique), CLIPS-IMAG laboratory, Université Joseph Fourier,
Grenoble, France. My research interest is in automatic processing of written
and spoken language. I am currently focussing on:
•
Design and development of probabilistic and linguistic parsing methods.
•
Design of packed structures for multiple dependency trees or graphs.
•
Development of generic tools to compare several parsers and merge
them into one new parser (beyond the classical voting strategy).
RESEARCH EXPERIENCE
2000-2004
Ph.D. research, GETA team, CLIPS-IMAG Laboratory, France
Study of dependency parsing, linguistic parsing and probabilistic parsing.
Specification, design and development of a multilingual platform, called
DepAn (Dependency Analysis), which:
•
Compare parsers for a given language by splitting their results in
elementary pieces, normalizing them, and comparing them with reference
results.
•
Combine several parsers to produce a dependency parser, which has
larger coverage and is more robust than its component parsers.
Experimentation with evaluation of French parsers (published in TALN’2004)
and English parsers (in progress).
1999-2000
Postgraduate research, GETA team, CLIPS-IMAG Laboratory, France
Study of linguistic formalisms (LFG, GPSF, TAG, dependency grammar and
MTT) and parsing methods (chart parsing, constraint parsing, etc.).
Specification, design and development of a dependency parser based on an
efficient constraint propagation algorithm.
1998-1999
Master & Magistère research, GETA team, CLIPS-IMAG Laboratory,
France
Study of UNL (Universal Networking Language) and its applications for
Hewlett-Packard France.
Specification, design and development of automatic tools to convert linguistic
applications of the ARIANE system into the SYGMART system (two
development environments for machine translation systems).
