Julie joined LINAGORA's research and development team in January 2018 as a researcher in linguistics. She received her Ph.D. in 2010 from the University of Texas at Austin and held post-doc positions in Paris, Toulouse, and Barcelona before coming to LINAGORA. Her research centers around using spoken and written corpora to develop models of human conversation and in particular, of how the interpretation of what we say is influenced by context, both linguistic and nonlinguistic.

Julie is currently working on developing models of multiparty spoken conversation as a part of the LinTO project. For a list of her publications and presentations, see her personal website: www.juliejhunter.com

Kate Thompson has worked as a data engineer and data scientist in both academic and industrial settings. After working with the MELODI team at IRIT on the Strategic Conversation (STAC https://www.irit.fr/STAC/index.html) project, Kate joined LINAGORA as a research engineer in October 2019. She is currently working on the design and development of the LinTO Conversation Manager.

Houpert Yoann join Linagora on June 2014 as a R&D Engineer in Computer Science. He obtain a master degree in Computer Sciences at Paul Sabatier University in Toulouse.

gSafe project: he was working on the backend part as well as the user frontend with new technologies such as AngularJS or Ionic.

C2Net project: he integrates a BPMN editor with OpenPaas as a module. This editor was able to execute itself with a personalised Activity Server for the C2Net project.

Hublot project: he is working on the integration with Hubl.in, LinStt and recommendation. Hublot works as an orchestrator of all the modules.

Dr Yazid Benazzouz received his PHD in 2011 in computer science from National Graduate Engineering School of Saint-Etienne (EMSE). Since December 2015, he has held the position of research engineer at Linagora (Toulouse) and he became a regular contributor to the C2NET European project. Previously, he was involved in several European projects such as OUTSMART, MIDAS, BUTLER and CLOUT. He has also participated to the french project BlueSky.

a patent, several papers and book chapters.

Sami Benhamiche integrated the Linagora's Research Team in May 2016, he gratuated in Artificial Intelligence, Pattern Recognition and Robotics from Paul Sabatier University in Toulouse.

OpenPaaS::NG project: he participates in the SP5 subproject of the OpenPaaS::NG project which allowed him to apply his knowledge of natural language and speech processing.

Hublot product: he worked on the Hublot bot that is able to connect to Hubl.in as a user in order to transcribe, recommend and summarize a video conference meeting.

Hubl.in product: he worked on the scalability of the open source video conference tool Hubl.in.

LinTo project: currently, he participates in the generation of the langage models of Linto.

Zied joined Linagora on September 2016. He obtained a PhD in Artificial Intelligence at the Toulouse University in 2011. Before integrating Linagora, Zied worked at university as PostDoc and after in an industry. His main expertise areas focus on knowledge engineering from text. This concerns building and using ontology, knowledge extraction from text, NLP and machine learning.
