Gustave Cortal

I'm a research scientist at Callyope, doing natural language processing for mental health. My work includes analyzing spontaneous speech for psychiatric disorders, generating summaries of clinical documents, and optimizing inference for clinical workloads.
I completed my PhD in natural language processing at ENS Paris-Saclay, developing language models to analyze subjective experience. My work spans extracting thoughts, feelings, and behaviors from personal narratives, modeling psychological patterns in language, and connecting emotion analysis with theories from cognitive science.
