Timothée Tot Bernard's GitLab website

This is what DALL·E 3 believes I look like:

$My mathematical side.$

(The truth is, I rarely wear a beret.)

My name is Timothée Bernard, welcome!
I am currently maître de conférences at Université Paris Cité. I am a member of the Laboratoire de linguistique formelle and I am mainly teaching within the UFR de linguistique. I used to be a researcher in the Knowledge and Information Research Team of AIST in Tokyo, and I previously completed my Ph.D. at Université Paris Diderot-Paris 7 (now Université Paris Cité).
My current professional email address ends with "@u-paris.fr". In case of doubt, you can also use the one that ends with "@ens-lyon.org" and which is permanent.

My current research interests include most notably:

negation in event semantics (e.g. Bernard and Champollion, 2024),
joint syntactic and semantic parsing (e.g. Bernard, 2021),
language emergence and signalling games (e.g. Bernard et al., 2024),
paradoxes (e.g. Bernard, 2024).

You can find a list of most of my publications here. If you want to know more about my work, do not hesitate to contact me directly.

If you, too, are interested in both formal linguistics and computational linguistics, then you might want to attend the monthly online ILFC seminar.

Here are the titles of the different courses I am currently teaching at Université Paris Cité:

Neural methods for NLP (since 2020-21),
Computational and formal semantics (since 2020-21),
Formal grammar and parsing (since 2020-21),
Introduction à la programmation (since 2021-22),
Introduction au traitement automatique du langage naturel (since 2022-23),
Langage et logique (since 2022-23).

In addition, I have (co-)taught the following courses at various summer schools:

Here you can download the lectures notes (in English) that I am currently writing (so, it's still incomplete) for a course entitled "Formal grammar and parsing". This course is an introduction to both the theory of formal language and automatic syntactic parsing, with a focus on natural language.

Here you can download the lectures notes (in French) that I have written for a course entitled "Introduction à la programmation". This course is an introduction to computer programming with Python, accessible to people with little to no background in mathematics or computer science.

Please try Tabouid, a game (in French and English) that I made for Android and iOS (free; no ads); automatically generated from Wikipedia. If you want to know more about how it works, you can read the corresponding ACL demo paper.

A Tree-Adjoining Grammar (TAG) demo.

The Game of Evolution, a (currently stalled) project aiming at studying the evolution of unsupervised neural networks subject to the implicit selection of a simulated world.
