I am a professor in the Department of Computer Science and Software Engineering at Laval University.  My current research interests include:

·      The extensions of Case-Based Reasoning (CBR) techniques and their application to the construction of recommender and decision aid systems.

·      The application of Natural Language Processing techniques and Machine Learning to accomplish interesting tasks (e.g. virtual assistants, question answering)

·      Classification and prediction based on traces and sequential data (applications to MMOG games, geopolitical conflicts, analysis of event sequences).

I am also a researcher at GRAAL laboratory and a member of the new research center on Big data at Laval University (CRDM).
