GETALP team, LIG lab, Université Grenoble Alpes — gilles.serasset@imag.fr

I'm a researcher in Computer Sciences/Natural Language Processing/Multilingual Computing. My current main interest is in describing languages using Semantic Web standards (RDF using mainly Ontolex ontology) and work on the relations between words and languages.

Skills

Programming Languages & Tools (some recent ones that have iconic existance)
As it seems fashionable nowadays, here is a fancy line of (some of) my iconify-able skills.
But many languages and technologies I did use for significant works do not really exist under an iconic form. As an example, I could mention Common-Lisp, Rexx, Ada, C, C++ in my Programming Languages "palette". In fact, as should be true for any computer scientist, I do have a significant experience in different programming paradigms (imperative, functional ou predicative, and mixes of these) and technologies, some being already extinct and other emerging.

Computational Linguistics

DBnary : Lexical Linked Open Dataset
DBnary is a RDF linguistic dataset based on the Ontolex format and derived from Wiktionary and other sources. The dataset is released under Creative Commons (cc-by-sa) license and the extraction/enhancement programs under the MIT license.
Collaborative Edition of Multilingual Dictionaries
Development of the Jibiki plateform used in several projects, among which the Papillon and LexAlp projects.
