Bonjour !

My papers:

• History to Myths: Social Network Analysis for Comparison of Stories over Time,
• The Classical Language Toolkit: An NLP Framework for Pre-Modern Languages
• Named-Entity Dataset for Medieval Latin, Middle High German and Old Norse

My web site where I put things I worked on.

My channel on Youtube on medieval Germanic literature (in French).

My main interests are:

• medieval Germanic philology (Old Norse, Old/Middle High German), I provide code to parse corpora for :

  • Old Norse, Old Norse dictionary (not finished),
  • Old Swedish, etymological dictionary of Swedish,
  • runic inscriptions,
  • Old High German ;

• computational linguistics, I also contribute to CLTK:

  • presentation at Graz university in November 2019 with a use case on the Nibelungenlied/Völsunga saga, I added a map to display places mentioned in the Nibelungenlied,
  • Jupyter notebooks on Old Norse,
  • Old Norse corpus, tools for Old Norse ;

• robotics, I especially like how measures can help track one's own position (Kalman filtering, LiDAR code, LiDAR notebooks, a web app to watch LiDAR measures) ;

• mental health, I founded Skilvit (seulement disponible en français), a web app which helps patients to keep contact with their practicians, there is also an Android app which helps note one's feelings and behaviours.
