About
Cheikh Brahim EL VAIGH is an Associate Professor at University of Burgundy (France), CIAD lab since 2022. He is also a visiting researcher at the Osaka University Institute for Datability Science since 2019. He received his MASc degree in computer science from the univ-rennes1 University (France) in 2017 and his Ph.D. in January 2021 from the same university. During his Ph.D., he worked on the joint use of knowledge graph and NLP for data-journalism at the INRIA/IRISA lab (Rennes, France). His research is focused on data analysis with join approaches leveraging knowledge graphs such as text and graph, or image and graph learning. He is also working on ontology mediated query answering querying with both RDF and description logics.
