Scientific summary
Scientific summary:
Mathieu Guidere stands at the forefront of predictive linguistics, a field he pioneered in 2006. As a full professor at the University of Paris and a Research Director at the French National Institute of Health (INSERM), his contributions to cognitive linguistics, translation studies, and mental health are both profound and transformative.
Prof. Guidere’s journey in predictive linguistics began at the French Military Academy of Saint-Cyr, where, as a professor and director of the Strategic Information Analysis Unit, he applied his innovative methodologies to military psychology, focusing on early detection of PTSD. His work during this period laid the foundation for the integration of linguistic analysis in mental health.
In 2007, he expanded his academic horizon by joining the University of Geneva as a full professor of Translation Studies and Multilingual Monitoring. Here, he not only led the French Department but also chaired the Research Group on Translation and Interpretation (GRETI). His tenure at Geneva was marked by significant advancements in predictive linguistics, including the co-invention of two international Patents on Cognitive Computing, that enabled him to establish leading academic programs directed to solve mental health disorders.
After that he joined the MIT Mind Machine Project (MMP) and published many articles on NLP (Natural Language Processing) applied to psychology.
By the end of 2012, the field had attracted the attention of many researchers and started to grow. He has been keynote speaker at the International First Responder Military Symposium, and the organizer of the First Euro-US Symposium on Psycholinguistics and PTSD.
In 2015, he published a book in French that summarizes his work on predictive linguistics (La Linguistique predictive: de la cognition à l’action), discussing the role of psycholinguistic markers in the prediction of violent actions and psychotrauma.
In 2022, Mathieu Guidere published (in collaboration) a book on "Pyschotraumatology: the Words of Trauma" (Paris : Editions Lavoisier) in which he applied predictive linguistic and AI large language models to common issues of mental health.
In 2024, he published a new work (in collaboration) on Inner Language in Psychotherapy (Le Langage intérieur en psychothérapie), in which he applies predictive models to the inner speech of people in suffering to facilitate the treatment of their disorders in their mother tongue.
His other publications in the field include : La Psychocriminologie aujourd’hui (2022, in French), The Language Within: Exploring Mental Health through Predictive Linguistics (published in English, in 2023), and Rethinking Language in Mental Health (in English, 2024).
