Short Bio
[Last updated on February 22nd, 2023]
I am a postdoctoral researcher in the Distributed Information Systems Laboratory at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne (EPFL) working on Neural Natural Language Processing applied to online polarization and debate analysis.
I am broadly interested in the capabilities of Large Pretrained Language Models to address issues emerging from online discussions. Interactions on social media and news platforms may have serious consequences but I am convinced that artificial intelligence technologies are poised to foster healthier online behaviors.
Prior to joining EPFL, I spent 3 fantastic years as a Ph.D. researcher in the Department of Computer Science, Data and Artificial Intelligence at the Polytechnic Institute of Paris (IP Paris), funded by a Google doctoral fellowship and working on Natural Language Processing with Deep Learning. I was supervised by Prof. Thomas Bonald (Data, Intelligence and Graphs (DIG) team, IP Paris) and Dr. Lucas Dixon (People + AI Research (PAIR) team, Google Brain). My thesis focus was on the analysis and control of online interactions through Neural Natural Language Processing.
