Professor in Digital Humanities, with a background in computational linguistics. In the past, I mainly focused on unsupervised grammatical inference and applied machine learning to sequential data (in particular natural language). Worked on multi-modal structuring of data (music) and multi-modal information retrieval, as well on proofing tools (spelling checkers for african languages). More recently, I have been concentrating on applying digital techniques in the humanties. Specialties: Research in computational linguistics and machine learning.
