Bio
Antoine Doucet is a full Professor in computer science in La Rochelle Université since 2014, where he is Vice Rector for the European University alliance EU-CONEXUS since 2021. He leads the research group in document analysis, digital contents and images (about 50 researchers) since 2016 and also directs the ICT department of the Vietnamese-French University of Science and Technology of Hanoi (USTH).
From 2018 to 2022, Antoine was the PI of Horizon 2020 project NewsEye (a digital investigator for historical newspapers), focusing on augmenting access to historical newspapers, across domains and languages. His main research interests lie in the fields of information retrieval, natural language processing, artificial intelligence and digital humanities. He also lead the participation of La Rochelle Université to Horizon 2020 Embeddia project (2019-2022, Cross-Lingual Embeddings for Less-Represented Languages in European News Media). From 2022 to 2025, he chairs the steering committee of the TPDL conference series (theory and practice in digital libraries).
His research focuses on conceiving approaches that scale to very large document collections and that are applicable to documents of any type written in any language, from news articles to social networks, and from digitized manuscripts to digitally-born documents.
