| Session Abstract | ||
|
Benoît Sagot, a graduate of the Ecole Polytechnique, obtained a doctorate in computer science from the Université Paris-Diderot in 2006. He then joined Inria as a researcher specialising in automatic language processing (ALP), in what is now the Inria centre in Paris. He headed the ALPAGE team there from 2014 to 2016, a joint team with Université Paris-Diderot, and then created the ALMAnaCH team, of which he is the director. He also holds a chair in the PRAIRIE institute dedicated to research into artificial intelligence, a field in which NLP fits in. His research work, initially focused on syntactic analysis, formal grammars and the development of linguistic resources, has evolved in line with his field of research towards approaches based on machine learning and then deep learning. He is currently interested in the design and learning of language models, as well as their implementation, particularly in machine translation and text simplification, while exploring the interface between text and speech and between text and image. He is also involved in the development of linguistic resources and research into computational linguistics. His work focuses in particular on the French language in all its diversity, but also on the challenges facing less endowed languages. He applies his NLP expertise as co-founder of Opensquare, a start-up specialising in the design, conduct, analysis and reporting of employee surveys. He has also been invited to occupy the annual Computer Science and Digital Sciences Chair at the Collège de France for 2023-2024.
