Sylvie Doutre
IRIT - University of Toulouse Capitole
I am an associate professor (Maîtresse de conférences) in computer science at the University of Toulouse Capitole in France, member of the Artificial Intelligence department of the Toulouse Institute of Computer Science Research (IRIT).
Research
My research interests mainly concern knowledge representation and reasoning, argumentation-based reasoning more particularly. I currently focus on modelling, computational and explainable aspects of formal argumentation semantics, and on the dynamics of argumentation. I am also interested in bridging the gap between formal and natural approaches of argumentation. See featured research.
