I am a Scienor Data Scientist at Della where I work on Machine Reading and Question Answering for legal companies. Previously, I have obtained my PhD in Computer Science in October 2019 at the University of Nantes. During my PhD, I worked on Neural Conversational Systems (chatbots) with Deep Neural Networks under the supervision of Emmanuel Morin, Christine Jacquin and Nicolas Hernandez.
Previously, I graduated from Paris-Saclay University in 2016 with a Master's Degree (CILS)and from École Nationale Supérieure d'Informatiquein 2015 with a CS Engineer Degree.
