Currently at the National Research Council Canada, where I work in the Interactive Language Technology group, officially part of the  Language Technology Research Centre.

My research interests are in applying Machine Learning techniques to various fields.  Since 2000, I have worked on applications involving textual data (sometimes referred to as Text Mining).  Mainly document clustering and categorisation (including filtering and routing), but also multilingual applications such as (bilingual) word alignment or Machine Translation (MT).

In 2003, I was involved in the Johns Hopkins CLSP summer workshop on confidence estimation for MT led by my colleague George Foster.

From 2001 to 2006, I was at the Xerox Research Centre Europe (XRCE) in Grenoble, France, where I worked on applying Machine Learning techniques to facilitate access to textual information. Before that, I worked at Inria, at Nokia Mobile Phones, and at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU).

My Erdös number is (at most) 3.

I need to get this page a little longer so that the palm trees on the left show properly.
