• Institution: University of Geneva
• Research Focus: Medical translation, sign language processing, text/pictograph translation

Research Interests: Bouillon specializes in machine translation and computational linguistics, with particular emphasis on:

• Accessible communication for patients with language barriers
• Sign language and pictograph translation systems (e.g., BabelDr)
• Speech-to-speech translation in emergency settings
• Text simplification for intellectual disabilities
• Historical French normalization for NLP
• Multilingual speech recognition and post-editing

Article Trends: Her recent publications highlight the integration of large language models with accessibility tools in healthcare, focusing on Swiss French sign language corpora, pictograph sequences, and spontaneous speech simplification. Work spans both NLP and human-computer interaction in medical contexts.

Education and Teaching: While specific educational details are omitted, Bouillon contributes to translation pedagogy through tools like COPECO and MT3, integrating speech technologies into post-editing workflows.
