Center for Artificial Intelligence.
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.

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, Journal of Uncertain Systems.
She is the (co)-editor of thirty-two books and the
(co)-author of five 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 has been an elected member of the Administrative
Committee of the IEEE Computational Intelligence Society
(IEEE CIS) from 2004 to 2009 and from 2011 to 2014, a
member of the IEEE Women in Engineering committee
in 2007-2008 and from 2012 to 2014. She is presently the
vice-president of the IEEE French Chapter on Computational
Intelligence. She was the chair of the
IEEE
Women in Computational Intelligence Committee
from 2004 to 2007. She was elected Vice-president for
Conferences of the IEEE CIS (2014-2018), Vice-president for
chapters of the IEEE
France Section (2014-2019) and she was the President
of the IEEE CIS in 2020-2021.
She is an IEEE Life
Fellow, an International
Fuzzy Systems Association fellow, an Honorary Member
of the European
Association for Fuzzy Logic and Technology
(EUSFLAT) and a
fellow of the Asia-Pacific
Artificial Intelligence Association (AAIA).
She was appointed as Distinguished Lecturer of the IEEE CIS
for the period 2014-2016. She received the 2012 IEEE
Computational Intelligence Society Meritorious Service
Award, the 2017 EUSFLAT Scientific Excellence Award, the
2018 IEEE Computational Intelligence Society Fuzzy Systems
Pioneer Award, the 2019 Outstanding Volunteer Award of the
IEEE France Section and the
IEEE
2024 Frank Rosenblatt award.
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, management of information quality
and eXplainable Artificial Intelligence.
