About the authors
Pierre Zweigenbaum, Ph.D., FACMI, FIAHSI, is a Senior Researcher at the Interdisciplinary Laboratory for Digital Sciences (LISN, Orsay, France), a laboratory of the French National Center forScientific Research (CNRS) and Université Paris-Saclay, where he has led the ILES Natural Language Processing group. Before CNRS he was a researcher at Paris Public Hospitals in an Inserm team. He also was a part-time professor at the National Institute for Oriental Languages and Civilizations. His research focus is Natural Language Processing, with medicine as a main application domain. He has also designed methods to acquire linguistic knowledge automatically from corpora and thesauri, to help extend monolingual and bilingual lexicons and terminologies, using parallel and comparable corpora.
Reinhard Rapp, Ph.D., is Professor of Applied Translation Studies at Magdeburg-Stendal University of Applied Sciences and is also affiliated with the University of Mainz. He has conducted EU-funded research projects at the University of Geneva, the University of Tarragona, the University of Leeds, at Aix-Marseille University, at the University of Mainz and at the Athena Research Center in Athens. His main research interests are in computational linguistics, translation studies and cognitive science. His publications have dealt with unsupervised language learning from text corpora, word sense disambiguation, text mining, thesaurus construction, bilingual dictionary induction from parallel and comparable corpora, and with statistical and neural machine translation.
