ORPAILLEUR Research team

Knowledge representation, reasonning

Team presentation

The research themes of the ORPAILLEUR project-team hold mainly on the design of intelligent systems: knowledge systems, information systems, data mining systems (or knowledge discovery systems). These intelligent systems have various forms and may be used in a number of applicative contexts such as biology, chemistry, space, time, and on the Web.

Research themes

The research topics of the ORPAILLEUR project-team are the following:

  • Knowledge representation, classification-based and case-based reasoning, spatio-temporal reasoning.
  • Knowledge management, information systems, and semantic Web.
  • Knowledge discovery in databases, data mining : symbolic and numerical mining methods, frequent item-sets search, association rule extraction, text mining,, hidden Markov models of higher order for mining, statistical implication and rough sets for data mining.
  • Data mining for biological computing and for planning in organic synthesis.
  • Design of systems associated to these research themes.
