Bernadette BOUCHON-MEUNIER

  Bernadette Bouchon-Meunier is a director of research at the National Center for Scientific Research, head of the department of Databases and Machine Learning in the Computer Science Laboratory of the University Paris 6 (LiP6).

  Graduate from the Ecole Normale Superieure at Cachan, she received the degrees of B.S. in Mathematics and Computer Science, Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics and D. Sc. in Computer Science from the University of Pierre and Marie Curie.

  Editor-in-Chief of the International Journal of Uncertainty, Fuzziness and Knowledge-based Systems (World Scientific), she is also a member of the editorial board of the International Journal of Approximate Reasoning, Fuzzy Sets and Systems, International Journal of Fuzzy Systems, International Journal of Information Technology and Intelligent Computing Journal of Uncertain Systems.

  She is the (co)-editor of twenty-two books and the (co)-author of four books in French and one in vietnamese on Fuzzy Logic and Uncertainty Management in Artificial Intelligence. She is a co-founder and co-executive director of the International Conference on Information Processing and Management of Uncertainty in Knowledge-based Systems (IPMU) held every other year since 1986.

  She was an elected member of the Administrative Committee of the IEEE Computational Intelligence Society from 2004 to 2009 and a member of the IEEE Women in Engineering committee in 2007-2008. She is presently the chair of the IEEE French Chapter on Computational Intelligence. She is also a member and past-chair of the IEEE Women in Computational Intelligence Committee. She is an IEEE senior member and an International Fuzzy Systems Association fellow.

  Her present research interests include approximate and similarity-based reasoning, as well as the application of fuzzy logic and machine learning techniques to decision-making, data mining, risk forecasting, information retrieval, user modelling, sensorial and emotional information processing.
