Nils Holzenberger is an Assistant Professor at Télécom Paris, France, since February 2023, affiliated with the Data Intelligence Graphs (DIG) research team within the Information Processing and Communication Laboratory (LTcI). His work bridges artificial intelligence, natural language processing, and legal domains through neuro-symbolic approaches to statutory reasoning, particularly in tax law. Education: PhD in Computer Science, Johns Hopkins University (2017-2022) Master's in Engineering, Mines ParisTech (2013-2017) Preparatory Classes, Lycée Louis-le-Grand (2011-2013) Holzenberger's research centers on legal artificial intelligence with emphasis on statutory reasoning limitations in large language models. He pioneered the SARA dataset for tax law reasoning and LegalBench benchmark, developing hybrid symbolic-neural frameworks that expose LLMs' shortcomings in precise legal interpretation. His work integrates Prolog solvers with NLP techniques to create executable tax code mappings and contract analysis tools, establishing foundational methods for verifiable legal AI systems. Analysis of his 15 most recent publications (2019-2024) reveals three dominant research thrusts: (1) Tax law reasoning benchmarks exposing LLM hallucinations, (2) Neuro-symbolic integration for statutory interpretation, and (3) Low-resource template extraction for legal documents. His work consistently demonstrates that pure neural approaches fail at precise legal reasoning, necessitating symbolic grounding for reliable legal AI applications. The DIG research team at Télécom Paris, where Holzenberger leads legal AI initiatives, is actively hiring faculty for neuro-symbolic projects. While specific grant details aren't public, his collaborations with HEC Paris, Copilex startup, and featured podcast appearances indicate substantial industry-academia engagement in legal tech development. Holzenberger directs the legal AI vertical within LTcI's DIG team, focusing on data intelligence for statutory reasoning. His group develops tools for tax minimization strategy discovery, contract analysis, and legal information extraction, maintaining close ties with legal practitioners through projects like the Prolog-based tax code interpreter. The team's infrastructure supports both academic research and startup partnerships in computational law.
