R&D
Cutting-edge NLP solutions
Our team consists of six PhDs and has produced around 10 scientific papers in the field of Natural Language Processing (NLP). We are contributing to the development of state-of-the-art NLP technology.
reciTAL and its research lab actively contribute to new global advances in the field of NLP and regularly publish new papers in the most prestigious conferences such as EMNLP, ACL or ICML.
Our main areas of research are:
Document Layout Understanding: Using models combining textual and visual features to automatically detect the internal layout of documents and facilitate document analysis and use.
Active learning et small data: Reducing the number of examples needed to improve the performance of models.
Question Answering et Question Generation: The full range of approaches involving the transition from keyword questions to natural language questions.
R&D Partnerships
1 Scientific Advisory Board: Stuart Russell, Antoine Bordes.
1 Academic Chair: Joint reciTAL-ESILV (Ecole Supérieure d’Ingénieurs Léonard de Vinci) Artificial Intelligence Chair.
3 CIFRE theses: aWith LIP6 (Paris VI Sorbonne Université and CNRS) and ESILV in the fields of Text Generation, Document Layout Understanding and Question Answering.
1 supercomputer: GENCI partnership to access the Jean Zay supercomputer installed and operated within the Institut du Développement et des Ressources en Informatique Scientifique at the CNRS (IDRIS) in Orsay, France.
