Srdjan Vesic

Jump to:
I am Srdjan Vesic (Serbian: Срђан Весић) and I am a tenured CNRS researcher (chargé de recherche) since January 2013. I am affiliated with a picture of Srdjan Vesic on the roof of Paris Decartes University (2017) CRIL research centre in Lens (France). My current research consists of developing ranking-based semantics for argumentation graphs and applying them in e-democracy, in particular by following a principle-based approach. I also work on the use of argumentation theory in legal reasoning, namely by considering the ethical guidelines for such approaches. I recently started investigating how graph represtnation of arguments and interaction between them influences human reasoning, in particular when comapred to non-graphical based approaches. Another topic in focus of my attention is the acceptability of technologies (such as artificial intelligence) by humans. My other research includes the work on the methods for measuring and decreasing inconsistency of knowledge bases, methods and logics for reasoning under inconsistency and studying properties of judgment aggregation rules.

Before joining CNRS, I was a post-doctoral researcher at the University of Luxembourg, in Luxembourg City (Luxembourg), in the Individual and Collective Reasoning research group of Leon van der Torre. From October 2012 to January 2013, I was an FNR postdoc, and during the 2011/12 academic year, I held an ERCIM postdoctoral fellowship (both co-funded by Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions). During my postdoc, I studied the link between argumentation-based and non argumentation-based reasoning, participated in the development of an on-line tool for argumentation-based decision making, worked on a logical language to describe the beliefs of argumentation agents in a multi-agent system and studied the role of trust in argumentation-based negotiation.

In July 2011, I obtained a PhD in artificial intelligence from Paul Sabatier University, Toulouse (France), in ADRIA team at IRIT, under the supervision of Leila Amgoud and Philippe Besnard. My PhD thesis was about integrating preferences in argumentation and using argumentation-based frameworks for reasoning, decision-making and negotiation. I also studied different roles played by preferences in argumentation.

In June 2008, I obtained a master in artificial intelligence from the same institute and university (ranked 1st).

Before coming to France, I graduated from University of Belgrade, Faculty of Mathematics, Department of Computer Science, in Belgrade (Serbia).
