Présentation

#### Research Interests Dialogue, Conversation, Discourse, Natural Language Processing, Computational Linguistics, Language Resources, Digital Humanities. #### Summary Laurent Prévot is a professor in Language Sciences at Aix Marseille Universit&eacute. He is also a junior member of the Institut Universitaire de France (IUF). His specialties are linguistics (in particular semantic and pragmatic questions) and Natural Language Processing. He obtained his PhD (2004) in Computer Science from Toulouse 3 University and worked as post-doc in linguistic and interdisciplinary labs in Italy (Laboratory for Applied Ontology, Trento), France (Syntax and Semantics Research Team CLLE-ERSS, Toulouse 2) and Taiwan (Institute of Linguistics, Academia Sinica). His recent projects are dealing in particular with conversational feedback, interpersonal dynamics in conversation as well as neural bases of conversation. At the methodological level, he tends to use NLP and speech processing techniques on conversational corpora and exploit the resulting material in collaboration with colleagues from various disciplines (linguistics, machine learning, neurosience, dialogue systems). Recently he has devoted his research time in developping and applying data-intensive and / or experimental approaches to conversational language. He is also developping a keen interest for Digital Humanities, in particular in applying NLP and machine learning techniques to large and heterogeneous historical documents. #### Projects coordination - PHC AURORA \[2019\] French Norwegian effort on Applied Dialogue Modeling - IUF project \[2015-2020\] Formal and Computational Interactional Linguistics, the case of feedback - [Amidex International Variamu](http://www.variamu.hypotheses.org) \[2014-2015\] Variations in Action: a Multilingual approach - [ANR JCJC CoFee](http://www.cofee.hypotheses.org) \[2012-2015\] Conversational Feedback - Erasmus Mundus Action 2 MULTI 1&2 \[2010-2015\] Multilingualism and Multiculturalism - PHC ORCHID \[2011-2012\] Construction of large-scale French-Mandarin multimodal corpora and comparison of unit production and perception in spoken discourse #### **Project Participation (selection)** - ANR SUMM-RE \[2020-2024\] Weak SUpervsion for Meeting Minutes with Rhetorical RElations (PI : Julie Hunter, Linagora) - ERC \[2018-2023\] [Elites, Networks and Power in modern China](https://enepchina.hypotheses.org/) (PI:Christian Henriot, IRASIA) - Amidex Interdiscplinarity \[2018-2021\] PhysSocial: Physiology of Social Interactions with natural and artificial agents (PI : Thierry Chaminade, INT) - PEPS BRAIN-IHM \[2018-2019\] BRAIN-IHM : Bases cérébrales de l’Interaction Humain-Machine : étude des feedbacks produits par un Agent Conversationnel Animé en réalité virtuelle" (PI: Magalie Ochs, LIS) - PEPS RobotTrio \[2018-2019\] Recueil, modélisation et évaluation d’interactions sociales entre un robot et des partenaires humains dans une tâche d’interview et de remplissage de formulaire numérique (PI: Frédéric Elisei, GIPSA Lab) - ANR-MRSEI CoBra \[2016-2017\] -> ITN CoBRa \[2020-2025\] Innovative Training Network [Conversational Brains](http://www.cobra-network.eu/) (PI: Noël Nguyen, LPL) - ANR Datcha \[2015-2018\] Knowledge Extraction from operator-customer conversations in call centers (PI: Frédéric Bechet, Laboratoire d’Informatique Fondamentale) - COST TextLink \[2014-2019\] Structuring Discourse in Multilingual Europe (PI: Liesbeth Degand, Université catholique de Louvain) - ANR OTIM \[2009-2011\] Outils pour le Traitement de l’Information Multimodale (PI: Philippe Blache, LPL) - ANR "Corpus" ANNODIS \[2008-2010\] Annotation discursive (PI: Marie-Paule Péry-Woodley, Université de Toulouse) - ANR-NSC M3 \[2008-2010\] Model and measurement of meaning: A cross-lingual and multi-disciplinary approach of French and Mandarin verbs based on distance in paradigmatic graphs (PIs: Hintat Cheung et Bruno Gaume) #### Evaluation Activities - CIFRE PhD Evaluator (’Training through Research’ Industrial Conventions) \[2018-\] - HCERES (French High Council for Research and Higher Education Evaluation) Committee president (2016,2022). - Expert ANR (French National Research Agency) for ’Content and Interactions" and "Young Researchers" calls. - Expert for various national research agencies : FNRS (Fonds National de la Recherche Scientifique, Belgique), FNS (Fonds National Suisse), NRF (South Africa’s National Research Foundation), RGC (Research Grants Council, Hong Kong), Rannis (Icelandic Research Fund) - Reviewer for Journals: Discourse Processes, Language Resource and Evaluation, Lingua, Applied Ontology, Journal of Child Language. - External member of recruiting committees in Language Sciences (Paris 13, Paris 7) and Computer Science (Marseille), Psychology (Toulouse 2). - Scientific Committee dof Conferences: Empirical Methods in NLP (2018,2023), Ass. for Computational Linguistics (2014-2018), COmputational LINGuistics 2008-2016, SEMantics and Pragmatics of DIALogue (2013-2014), Traitement Automatique des Langues Naturelles (2007-2012), Pacific Asia Conference on Language Information and Computation (2006-2023), Language Resource and Evaluation Conference (2008-2024), Workshop on Linguistic Complexity and NLP (2018), European Ass.
