Ludovic TANGUY

Ludovic TANGUY is a Professor at the Department of Language Sciences, University of Toulouse 2, where he conducts research within the Cognition, Languages, Ergonomics (CLLE) research unit. His academic journey includes a Habilitation à diriger des recherches (HDR) from University Toulouse le Mirail - Toulouse II in 2012 and a PhD from University of Rennes 1 in 1997 with a thesis on Natural Language Processing and interpretation.

Professor TANGUY's research spans multiple areas within computational linguistics, with particular focus on Natural Language Processing, corpus linguistics, and distributional semantics. His work demonstrates expertise in analyzing online discourse, particularly through Wikipedia talk pages, and applying computational methods to linguistic phenomena. He has developed innovative approaches for studying sociolinguistic variation using Twitter corpora and neural word embeddings, contributing significantly to understanding how language evolves in digital environments.

His recent publications reveal a strong trend toward analyzing computer-mediated communication, with numerous studies examining Wikipedia interactions, conflict detection, and discourse patterns. TANGUY has also made substantial contributions to distributional semantics research, exploring how word embeddings can model semantic relationships in specialized domains like family vocabulary. His work bridges theoretical linguistics with practical applications in information retrieval and natural language processing.

As an active researcher with publications spanning from 1997 to 2024, Professor TANGUY has established himself as a prominent figure in French computational linguistics. His collaborative work, particularly with researchers like Lydia-Mai Ho-Dac, Cécile Fabre, and Nabil Hathout, demonstrates a strong network within the academic community. His research has been published in reputable journals and presented at major conferences in computational linguistics and corpus linguistics.
