The purpose of this report is to summarize what I have achieved in the framework of Télécom Paris’ AI option research project. My project, entitled “Automatically inferring the document class used in a scientific article”, is carried out within the École Normale Supérieure, and more particularly within the Valda team at Inria Paris. It is co-supervised by Pierre Senellart, university professor at École Normale Supérieure and head of the Valda team, and Antoine Amarilli, associate professor at Télécom Paris.
