Rémi Gilleron

I am full professor and my current position is in Lille university. My first research topic was tree automata and I am one of the TATA book co-author. I am now researcher in machine learning for structured data.

Research

I was head of the Mostrare research project of INRIA Lille Nord Europe since 2003 until July 2011.
I am in charge of Grappa-LIFL at Lille university.
We (joint work with Marc Tommasi and Florent Jousse) have adapted conditional random fields (CRFs) to XML trees. A library XCRF is available together with a companion paper (unfortunately unpublished).
We (joint work with Marc Tommasi and Edouard Gilbert) currently study rational tree series for unranked trees with Marc Tommasi and Edouard Gilbert. We collaborate with François Denis and al in Marseille on learning probability distributions for XML trees. A library Piccata is under construction.
We (joint work with Joachim Niehren, Aurélien lemay and Jérôme Champavère) define learning algorithms for XML queries with the help of XML schemas using grammatical inference techniques.
We (joint work with Jean-Baptiste Faddoul, Boris Chidlovski and Fabien Torre) define boosting algorithms for multi-task learning. We apply our algorithms to large scale textual and social data.
We (joint work with Gemma Garriga, Mikaela Keller and Marc Tommasi) begin a new research group on learning in graphs (Reading Group ).

Teaching

I am teaching in Lille 3 university in master MIASHS "mathématiques informatique appliquées aux sciences humaines et sociale". I give lectures on data mining (clustering and classification), on XML (basics, schemas, Xpath and XSLT), and on information retrieval. I am in charge of the master MIASHS.
