Doctoral Candidate at UNICAEN

Coming from computational linguistics and philosophy technology, I am interested in how linguistic patterns  or styles differ between humans and machines.

Textual online content generated and/or propagated by non-human agents has become an increasingly present phenomenon on social media platforms. When deployed with malicious intent, the behavior of this kind of agent can have impacts that are either directly harmful to people that are targeted by this behavior, for example, through toxic language use, or impacts that are more indirectly harmful, for example, by intervening in political discourse.

With the advent of contemporary large language models, the near future may feature more bots that employ increasingly sophisticated human-like harmful language online. Therefore, being able to detect linguistic patterns and idiosyncrasies will play a role in identifying harmful textual content that is not only spread but also generated by machines.

My research interests include authorship analysis, computational sociolinguistics, and the philosophical issue of what defines and differentiates human, non-human, and hybrid forms of agency. I joined the HYBRIDS project because of its focus on interdisciplinary research, interaction, and collaboration, both in its individual research tracks and at the network level.
