Benjamin Marie,
researcher in Natural Language Processing (NLP)
I am a French scientist working as a researcher at the Advanced Translation Technology Laboratory at NICT (Kyoto, Japan) since May 2016 and on the tenure-track since April 2019. My research is focusing on improving Machine Translation (MT) for low-resource language pairs, especially involving languages of East and South Asia.
Before joining NICT, I was a Ph.D. student at LIMSI-CNRS (Orsay, France), supervised by Aurélien Max and Anne Vilnat, also simultaneously engineer for the company Lingua-Et-Machina and sometimes teacher at Université Paris-Saclay.
Currently, my research focuses on the better use of monolingual data in MT. I also work on evaluation for MT.
Topics of interest : low-resource neural MT, evaluation for MT, neural MT for user-generated texts
