About
I am currently a post-doctoral researcher at the medialab at Sciences Po. I work on the “AI for Democracy: Democratic Commons” project under the supervision of Jean-Philippe Cointet.
Previously, I did a PhD in Computer Science at LIRMM, at the University of Montpellier in France, under the supervision of Konstantin Todorov and Sandra Bringay. I also did several research visits at GESIS (Leibniz Institute for the Social Sciences) in Germany, in collaboration with Stefan Dietze.
My research is situated at the intersection of three fields: Artificial Intelligence, Social Choice Theory, and Political Science. Use-cases I currently focus on include:
- Digital Democracy: I develop AI systems and algorithms to assist citizens in large-scale participatory democracy platforms (e.g., online deliberations, consultations). I draw on both Social Choice Theory and Political Science to incorporate fairness guarantees in AI models and to align them with democratic principles.
- Automated Fact-checking: I study how AI systems could enhance the quality and accuracy of online debates, especially scientific debates. I develop methods and models to automatically detect scientific content online and to retrieve missing contextual elements (e.g., scientific sources) to make online debates more accurate and informed. I also co-organize CheckThat!, an international workshop and lab for the evaluation of novel methods and models for multilingual and multimodal fact-checking.
