About Me

I’m an Associate Professor (maître de conférences) of Computer Science @ Université Lumière Lyon 2. I’m also an elected member of the Conseil National des Universités (27) and have taken various responsabilities along the years.

Research

I’m part (and was the head for the year 2022) of the Data Mining & Decision Group at the ERIC Lab. My research interests lie in the development of machine learning techniques to solve graph-constrained problems related to language.
Check out my work on graph-based NLP, document network embedding or social media mining. I’ve also collaborated to a series of works in sociolinguistics in the context of social media.

I’m part of the Data Science departement at the Lumière Institute of Technology, where I teach courses in statistics and computer science. I also give advanced courses in machine learning at the graduate level (Master - ML for AI @ UL2, Master - MIASHS @ UL2, DU - Data Science @ U-Paris, PhD - Doctoral course @ ED InfoMaths, Master SDM @ ENS Lyon).
