Short Biography
Dr Mourad MARS is an Assistant professor at the Institute of Computer Science and Mathematics of Monastir. He received his Ph.D in Computer Science and Natural Language Processing with the highest-honors from the University of Grenoble (France) in 2012. Currently, he is a research member of LIDILEM laboratory (France) and LaTICE laboratory (Tunisia).
His main research interest is in Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Machine Learning (ML) in general including Part Of Speech Tagging, Spell checking, Statistical Machine Translation (SMT), Speech Recognition, Name Entities Extraction, etc. He is also active in the development of Arabic language resources (dictionnaries, parallel corpora, multilingual text corpus, language models, speech corpora, lexicons, etc) and in the evaluation of NLP tools.
Since joining the University of Grenoble and particulary the LIDILEM laboratory in 2005, he participated in several projects including MIRTO project (Computer Assisted Language Learning platform based on NLP tools) and He was also a major contributor to the LIDILEM Statistical Part of Speech Tagger project. He also served as temporary assistant professor at the University of Grenoble.
Actually, he collaborate with theTAUS (Translation Automation User Society) R&D team, based in Netherlands, on a project titled “TheTAUS English/French Statistical MachineTranslation Engines”.
