CNRS Researcher (Chargé de recherche)
Laboratoire d'Informatique de Grenoble (LIG), Université Grenoble-Alpes
I am a CNRS researcher working in Getalp team (part of Laboratoire d’Informatique de Grenoble). Before that, I was a research scientist at Naver Labs Europe (2019) and a research associate at the University of Edinburgh (2018) in Shay Cohen’s research group. I obtained my PhD in 2017 at Paris Diderot University, which is now part of Université Paris Cité. Specifically, I worked in the Laboratoire de Linguistique Formelle (LLF), under the supervision of Benoît Crabbé and on the topic of natural language parsing.
My research focuses on natural language and speech processing. Some of my current research interests: syntactic/semantic parsing, structured prediction, end-to-end speech parsing, multitask learning.
