In this report, I provide a brief summary of the literature in philosophy, psychology and cognitive science about Explanatory Virtues, and link these concepts to eXplainable AI.
This invited memoir looks back on my scientific career that straddles the solar and stellar branches of astrophysics, with sprinklings of historical context and personal opinion. Except for a description of my life up to my Ph.D. phase, the…
This report discusses 3 distinct, but overlapping topics. Firstly, it recommends the tools and best practices for research software engineering and data science that are most relevant to the researchers working on the Wales Multimorbidity…
This habilitation thesis is cumulative and, therefore, is collecting and connecting research that I (together with several co-authors) have conducted over the last few years. Thus, the absolute core of the work is formed by the ten…
This is the memoir of my habilitation thesis, defended on March 29 th, 2013 (Universit\'e Paris XI).
Clarivate's Web of Science (WoS) and Elsevier's Scopus have been for decades the main sources of bibliometric information. Although highly curated, these closed, proprietary databases are largely biased towards English-language…
Multidisciplinary cooperation is now common in research since social issues inevitably involve multiple disciplines. In research articles, reference information, especially citation content, is an important representation of communication…
A degree of a module $M$ is a numerical measure of information carried by $M$. We highlight some of Vasconcelos' outstanding contributions to the theory of degrees, bridging commutative algebra and computational algebra. We present several…
This is a short apology of the style of the Elements by Euclid and Bourbaki.
A review of the empirical literature on access to scholarly information. This review focuses on surveys of authors, article download and citation analysis.
We propose a formal framework for intelligent systems which can reason about scientific domains, in particular about the carcinogenicity of chemicals, and we study its properties. Our framework is grounded in a philosophy of scientific…
In the context of a comprehensive Microsoft Academic (MA) study, we explored in an initial step the quality of linked references data in MA in comparison with Web of Science (WoS). Linked references are the backbone of bibliometrics,…
To reflect the key role played in our society by the network technologies, the networking courses have moved to Bachelor degrees where they are taught to large classes. We report our experience in developing an open-source ebook that…
Despite the limitations of funding acknowledgment (FA) data in Web of Science (WoS), studies using FA information have increased rapidly over the last several years. Considering this WoS'recent practice of updating funding data, this paper…
OWL 2 has been standardized by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) as a family of ontology languages for the Semantic Web. The most expressive of these languages is OWL 2 Full, but to date no reasoner has been implemented for this language.…
This presentation is intended to give a flavour of the physics to be studied and discovered by exploiting the interface between string theory, M-theory and field theory provided by the dynamics of extended objects called `branes', and their…
This is a research announcement of the theory of orbifold quantum cohomology.
Scientific conferences play an important part in every scientists career. Here, I suggest an approach that can mitigate biases and help make scientific conferences more inclusive for everybody by increasing the transparency in speaker…
Modern society is permeated with computers, and the software that controls them can have latent, long-term, and immediate effects that reach far beyond the actual users of these systems. This places researchers in Computer Science and…
