Sujet :
## Research subject
within the framework of the research project on NLP for insect monitoring in plant health. The central aim of the PhD project is to develop original approaches for the reliability of textual information, by integrating linguistic dimensions and knowledge graphs (NLP, language models), and dynamic dimensions (time series). The quality and relevance of the extracted information will be derived from the collected documents along time and from the existing knowledge base.
For plant health and risk management, the biological interaction between insect vectors, pathogens, and host plants is of primary interest for anticipating contamination and reducing pesticide use.

You will be affiliated with the Computer Science Graduate School at Paris-Saclay University. You will be employed by INRAE.
