Thématiques de recherche : I conduct research in Multimodal Artificial Intelligence (AI), Natural Language Processing (NLP), and Computer Vision (CV), with a particular focus on document analysis and understanding through multimodal learning. My work aims to enhance document comprehension using advanced approaches such as classification, information extraction, summarization, and question-answering.
I am also interested in the ethical and security challenges of large-scale AI models (LLMs and VLMs), integrating solutions to ensure fairness, transparency, and data privacy. My research includes scene text detection and recognition in complex environments, multilingual information extraction, and identity verification.
Additionally, I develop federated learning and blockchain-based methods to ensure secure document processing. The objective of this work is to create robust, explainable, and scalable AI systems, tailored to both industrial and academic needs.
