Presentation :

K is a LORIA team interested by symbolic artifical intelligence (knowledge-based systems).
Such a system is usually composed of one (or more) inference engine(s) and of one (or more) knowledge base(s).
The main issues are:

• • how to design inference engines, and
  • how to build knowledge bases used by the inference engines.

Reasonning (or inferences) and knowledge are strongly connected: reasoning produces knowledge  on the basis of other knowledge and a piece of knowledge is a data exploited by a reasoning process.

Knowledge is at the center of the work of the K team which addresses 3 main research topics:

• data science (and knowledge discovery),
• knowledge engineering,
• reasoning (hypothetical and deductive).
