Andrei Popescu-Belis

I am a senior researcher at the Idiap Research Institute, a lecturer at EPFL, and the head of Idiap's Natural Language Processing group.

My research interests are in natural language processing, information retrieval, language resources, and the evaluation of linguistic and interactive systems.

I am the leader of the COMTIS Swiss NSF Sinergia project (2010-2013): Improving the Coherence of Machine Translation Output by Modeling Intersentential Relations. I am involved in the IM2 NCCR (2002-2013), working on dialogue processing, data management and HCI, and I am deputy head of the Human Centered Design module. I also contribute to the inEvent European project (2011-2014). I have contributed to the AMIDA European integrated project (2007-2010) as head of a module on interfaces and evaluation.

I teach a doctoral course at EPFL on Human Language Technology.

I graduated from the French Ecole Polytechnique in 1995, with majors in maths and computer science, and I hold a Masters in AI from the University of Paris VI. I have a PhD in computer science and natural language processing from LIMSI-CNRS, University of Paris XI (1999). I was a postdoc at the UCSD Department of Cognitive Science, and then a senior research assistant at ISSCO, University of Geneva, before joining the Idiap Research Institute as a senior researcher in 2007. I have taught computer science and NLP courses at the Technology Institute in Orsay, the University of Geneva, and the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne (EPFL).
