Who am I ?

I was born 21 days after UNIX. I'm working in computer science. I am currently working at the Hubert Curien Research Lab, a lab of the university of Saint Etienne (France). I previously spent one year in a postdoc position at the Tuebingen University and six month with the ISSCO team of the university of Geneva on the TMR-LCG (LCG= Learning Computational Grammars) project.
I made my phD thesis at the Jean Monnet University in the team EURISE. This PhD thesis was funded by France Telecom R&D), the French telecom research lab.

My field of interest include

Probabilistic grammatical inference
Natural language modeling
Noun Phrase Chunking

I use to (and like to) work on unix machines and my prefered PC OS are FreeBSD and Linux Debian.
I am develloping my techniques in C++ and in perl. I like to manage my experiments with make.
