Research topics
My research is in the field of knowledge engineering, with a specific focus on the dynamics of knowledge, and its sharing between humans and machines. This focus is already important in traditional applications, with a well-defined scope. But it becomes crucial in the context of the web, an open and constantly evolving environment. This work is therefore in the line of the Semantic Web.
More specifically, I am interested in
- interaction traces (between users and systems), considered as knowledge inscriptions offering multiple interpretations, depending on the context;
- the explainability of AI systems, made possible in particular by the elicitation of knowledge, its linking into knowledge graphs, and the use of traces.
I review papers on a regular basis for the following journals and conferences: Knowledge-Based Systems, WWW, ISWC, ESWC, Semantics, IUI, IC (french conference on Knowledge Engineering).
