Research Focus

PhD candidate (Inria grant, Oct 2021–present), supervised by Pr. Jean‑Charles Régin , Université Côte d'Azur. Tackling the scarcity of diverse, high‑quality sentences for standardized vision‑screening tests (e.g. MNREAD, RADNER).

Key Contributions

• Formulated constrained sentence generation as a discrete optimization problem over Multivalued Decision Diagrams (MDDs).
• Achieved exhaustive generation of valid EN/FR sentences meeting length, display and grammatical constraints.
• Integrated large language models to enhance fluency, yielding hundreds of clinically‑usable test sentences.
• Demonstrated MDDs’ broad applicability to constrained NLP tasks beyond vision screening.
