A discussion with Thierry Poibeau

2026-03-31

On March 31, the Digital Writing Research Laboratory at the Université de Montréal had the pleasure of meeting with Thierry Poibeau, a specialist in computational processing of natural languages and a researcher at the CNRS. The discussions focused on his latest work and his interest in the development and role of algorithms in the digital humanities, particularly in supporting the definitional work of concepts in the social sciences and humanities, making computers true modelling machines.
