Welcome into my own little personnal space... '
Bio
I'm a tenured associate professor (Maître de Conférence) in the University Paris-Sorbonne . From September 2006 to December 2009, I was a member of the Lalic Team, then at Alpage until the end of that project. Now, I'm a member of the Almanach team.
I used to be a postdoc at the DCU's GramLab group.
Before that I was a Phd Student in the Langue et Dialogue team at the Loria in France.
My interests cover all parts of Natural Language Processing, mainly syntatic analysis, wide coverage parsing, syntax-semantic interface, etc.
Those days I'm involved into parsing user generated content through treebanking and parsing, focusing on context-aware models.
NEWS
Together with Marie Candito, I'll be organizing the Treebank and Linguistics Theory conference 2019 edition in paris. It'll be a joint even with Depling 2019 and the UD 2019 workshop.
Our 2017 #ParsingTragedy system was re-evaluated and finally ranked #3 overall :) This year's system (by mostly my students Ganash Jawahar and Benjamin Muller ranked #10 with a nice model though (ELmo and external lexicon features, Dozat's neural model).
OLD NEWS
Teaming up with the Stanford NLP group (Sebastian Schuster and Chris Manning). We ranked #1 and #3 at the Extrinsic Evaluation Shared 2017 Shared task :)
We unofficially scored #6 at the #ParsingTragedy shared task. Why unofficial? because a bug in the official metadata led our parser to failback on delexicalized mode for all languages. Ranking #26 but #3 on POS tagging. Check out or paper
