Scientific summary

Scientific summary:

Prof. Mathieu Guidere is the founder of the predictive linguistics in 2006 while he was professor at the French Military Academy of Saint-Cyr and director of the Strategic Information Analysis Unit. He applied his methodology to military psychology, and especially to PTSD early detection.

In 2007, he joined the University of Geneva (Switzerland), where he was professor of Translation Studies and Multilingual Monitoring. During his professorship there (2007-2011), he implemented predictive linguistics and he was the co-inventor 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 as an external collaborator 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 with French psychiatrist, Pr. Louis Jehel) 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 with Dr. Louis Jehel 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 (2023, in French) and The Language Within: Exploring Mental Health through Predictive Linguistics (published in English, in 2024).
