Research projects

• Emotion analysis in texts and generation of texts with emotions
• Lexical acquisition: a knowledge-base of near-syonyms differences. Using this knowledge in NLG.
• Detecting semantic outliers in automatic speech transcripts and in keywords extracted from speech.
• Automatic identification of cognates and false friends between French and English.
• Natural language interfaces for virtual reality systems and for databases.
• Information extraction from Medline abstracts.
