Floriane Chiffoleau

After graduating with a dual bachelor's degree in History and Law, a master's degree in late modern history, and a master's degree in Technologies numériques appliquées à l'histoire, I worked at Inria as a research and development engineer on the DAHN and EHRI projects, before becoming a PhD candidate.

I became a doctor in digital humanities after a PhD of three years, done at Le Mans Université and ALMAnaCH's Inria, under the supervision of Anne Baillot and Laurent Romary, and defended in November 2024. My research focused on ground truth and prediction errors to understand the performances of transcription models and was reported under the title Understanding the Automatic Text Recognition’s Process: Model Training, Ground Truth and Prediction Errors. The content of my PhD work is available in a dedicated repository: phd.

Now, I am engineer in digital humanities at the ObTIC team of Sorbonne Université, where I am in charge of the development and management of digital scholarly editions, and the collaboration with researchers to ensure the preservation, accessibility and promotion of digital collections.

In my free time, I enjoy going to the movies, reading various books, and visiting exhibitions.
