Hi!

My name is Maël, I am a PhD student in the TALN team at the LS2N (Laboratoire des Sciences Numériques de Nantes) in Nantes,France. I work under the supervision of Béatrice Daille and Florian Boudin. My work focuses on keyphrase generation for scientific indexing.

My interests go from analyzing techniques to represent similar documents, to looking at different ways to improve absent keyphrase generation. I also enjoy working in low resources conditions and study unsupervised training.

My work is funded by the ANR DELICES project.

I have a Master's degree in Computer Sciences from the French engineering school Telecom Nancy of the "Institut National Polytechnique Grand Est". Before entering this school I studied two years in a "Classe Préparatoire aux Grandes Ecoles" in the French Navy High School of Brest.

Collaborations
