Alumni in the spotlight ; celebrating Lisette Lombé
A look back at the honor bestowed on Lisette Lombé on Thursday April 9 at ULiège.
As a public university open to the world and is anchored in the scientific, cultural and economic development of its region, the University of Liège relies on its three pillars: teaching, research and civic engagement.
ULiège trains responsible citizens who are provided with cutting-edge knowledge and critical thinking, are able to share knowledge and can push forward an increasingly complex world.
ULiège develops and promotes excellence in research, multidisciplinary and direct engagement with its instruction.
Global exposure is a top priority at the University of Liège. The institution offers a wide range of international mobility opportunities to students, researchers and staff, enabling them to enhance their cross-disciplinary skills and language knowledge.
ULiège: an experience of daily living. Located in 3 cities and 4 campuses, the university is a key player in terms of the environment and mobility.
Ashwin Ittoo and his team from HEC Liège, ULiège, wins the European Commission call for tender for machine learning methods for supervisory reporting.
DG FISMA is the Directorate-General for Financial Stability, Financial Services and Capital Markets Union – the Commission’s DG responsible for Financial Stability, Financial Services and Capital Markets. The call for tender was motivated by the urgent need to reconcile multiple financial reporting frameworks, and was open to all institutions within the EU region.
Competition was intense, with many IT firms and R&D labs from the EU region. The solution proposed by Ashwin Ittoo involves the development of scalable natural language processing algorithms for automatically extracting pertinent facts (e.g. definitions of legal statements) and linking them (e.g. finding out which clauses repeal or support each other) from huge volumes of documents, expressed in natural language. Their approach will be based on recent development in distributional semantics using neural networks. Another research team, MakoLab, is investigating a frame semantics approach.
