Orange Labs & LIA

profile.jpg

I am a PhD student under the supervision of Pr. Yannick Estève and Dr. Valentin Vielzeuf. I work jointly with Orange Labs and the Speech and Language Team of LIA. My research focuses on Spoken Language Understanding (SLU) in the context of Task-Oriented Dialogues (TOD).

More broadly I am interested in understanding how to use Artificial Neural Networks to help us understand, organize and analyze large quantities of data.

On my spare time I enjoy getting new perspectives by reading books, traveling or watching movies, cooking nice meals and hiking.
