Professor Bruno Bachimont will be giving public lectures on December 10 and 11, 2009. Prof. Bachimont has been invited by the French Embassy in India, in the framework of their programme "Bonjour French Science".
Bruno Bachimont is Scientific advisor of the Department of Research and Innovation at the Institut National de l’Audiovisuel (France’s legal deposit institution for all television and radio material) as well as Professor at the Université de Technologie de Compiègne where he teaches computer science, logics and philosophy. A graduate of the Ecole des Mines de Nancy, Prof. Bachimont received a PhD in Computer Science from the Paris 6 University in 1990 as well as a PhD in Philosophy from the Ecole Polytechnique in 1996.
Prof. Bachimont has published widely in the fields of artificial intelligence, knowledge-based systems, indexation, and document engineering and is the author of “knowledge and content engineering : Documents and ontologies” (in french, Paris: Hermès, 1994 2nd ed).
Prof. Bachimont is currently involved in projects related to digital preservation, audiovisual/multimedia indexing, using formalisms and theories drawn from the knowledge representation paradigm (ontologies, conceptual graphs, description logic), the document paradigm (XML, XML-Schema, MPEG-7) and the audiovisual world. The projects are undertaken within a general conceptual framework which borrows from Jacques Derrida and Bernard Stiegler’s work on the philosophy of knowledge and writing to explore the mutual influence of mind and technique, of thinking and intellectual technologies.
