I'm a post-doctoral researcher working on natural language parsing.


What I used to do

2004 - 2007: PhD under the supervision of Pr. Guy Perrier (Calligramme team in LORIA lab, Nancy, France). I have worked on the modeling of coordination and its implementation in Interaction Grammars.

2007 - 2008: Worked as 'ATER' (TA / assistant lecturer ?) in IUT Charlemagne, Nancy, France

What I do

2008-present: Efficient probabilistic parsing and grammar inference in the LORG Project

Software

  • XMG, a metagrammar compiler
  • Leopar a parser for Interaction Grammars
