Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolXavier Tannier is a Director and researcher at LIMICS (Sorbonne University, Sorbonne Paris-Nord, Inserm) with 12 years of experience in NLP and machine learning applied to biomedical information extraction. He is a professor at Sorbonne Université and heads the Master’s program in Computer Science and Applied Mathematics at Polytech Sorbonne, combining academic leadership with hands-on research. His work bridges information retrieval and clinical text mining, informed by a PhD from École des Mines de Saint-Étienne and an engineer’s degree from INSA Toulouse. Colleagues value him for translating complex biomedical language problems into practical extraction systems and for mentoring the next generation of applied researchers and engineers. Notably, he moved from industry research at Xerox to a sustained academic track that now shapes national-level curricula and translational biomedical NLP efforts in Paris.

xtannier/WebAnnotator
Dec 2013 - Dec 2021
WebAnnotator is a tool for annotating Web pages. WebAnnotator is implemented as a Firefox extension (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/webannotator/), allowing annotation of both offline and inline pages. The HTML rendering is fully preserved and all annotations consist in new HTML spans with specific styles. WebAnnotator provides an easy and general-purpose framework and is made available under CeCILL free license (close to GNU GPL — see the license text), so that use and further contributions are made simple. All parts of an HTML document can be annotated: text, images, videos, tables, menus, etc. The annotations are created by simply selecting a part of the document and clicking on the relevant type and subtypes. The annotated elements are then highlighted in a specific color. Annotation schemas can be defined by the user by creating a simple DTD representing the types and subtypes that must be highlighted. Finally, annotations can be saved (HTML with highlighted parts of documents) or exported (in a machine-readable format).
