Jérôme DUBREUIL, specializes in design and development of innovative applications improving the man-machine interaction and involving technologies such as multimodality, artificial intelligence and speech recognition. Prior to BravoBrava!/SpeaKESL, Jérôme was the responsible for the development of an industrial expert system for rotating kilns at the company Le Nickel-SLN (group Eramet), Doniambo, New Caledonia (South Pacific French Island), the world's largest ferronickel producing plant. The project involved all steps from designing the hardware and software architecture, collecting and analyzing knowledge from operators, developing the expert system core, handling installation and training of support staff. Before that, he has worked for the French 'Irisa' Research Laboratory on the conception of a man-machine dialogue software, based on a model allowing verbal exchanges and physical acts. Also, at the Stanford Research Institute (Menlo Park, California, USA), he has contributed to the development of multimodal applications using speech, gesture and writing recognition. He holds a degree (equivalent to a Masters in Engineering) in Software and Computer Systems (LSI) from Ecole Nationale Supérieure de Sciences Appliquées et de Technologie (ENSSAT). |
