Julie Hunter

Head of Language team

Julie Hunter joined LINAGORA’s R&D team in January 2018 as a researcher in linguistics. She received her Ph.D. in 2010 from the University of Texas at Austin and held post-doc positions in Paris, Toulouse, and Barcelona before coming to LINAGORA. Julie’s research centers around using spoken and written corpora to develop models of human conversation and in particular, of how the interpretation of what we say is influenced by context, both linguistic and nonlinguistic.
