Gustave Cortal
I'm a research scientist at Callyope, doing natural language processing for mental health: analyzing spontaneous speech for psychiatric disorders, summarizing clinical documents, and optimizing inference for clinical workloads.
During my PhD in natural language processing at ENS Paris-Saclay, I developed language models to analyze subjective experience: extracting thoughts, feelings, and behaviors from personal narratives, modeling psychological patterns in language, and connecting emotion analysis with theories from cognitive science.
