Louis Escouflaire holds a PhD in Linguistics and a Master’s degree in Natural Language Processing from UCLouvain. Affiliate researcher with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), he has been working for several years with methods from the digital humanities and computational social sciences. His PhD dissertation focused on the automatic analysis of opinion in Francophone press discourse, using mixed methods, qualitative (interviews, annotation campaigns, discourse analysis) and quantitative (machine learning, LLMs, explainability). Today, he is particularly interested in social biases present in AI-generated narratives, as well as the impact of generative AI on creative writing practices in French.

He is a research logistician for the SHS Impulse platform.
