Sylvie Saget is a PhD/Doctoral Researcher in Computational Linguistics. Her research focuses on conversational agents that can talk and act autonomously such as humans, robots, virtual humans - or, generally speaking, any kind of object or system involving social interaction.
Her research focuses on the modeling of reasoning and dialogue via a transdisciplinary approach mixing philosophy (of Mind + of Science&Technology), logics and psychology. Application areas she is focusing on:
- Interaction management technologies
- Conversational / intelligent agent architectures
- Responsible conception and design methods
- Social agents as tools in psychology

PhD Project: "Language as a tool: A rational and cognitive approach"
The original approach is to refashion rationality starting from a distinction between two types of information (facts and infos related to what to do or use/how to behave) and the specification of corresponding information containers (epistemic mental attitude and memory-box). Based on this distinction regarding types of information & information-containers, I am developing a cognitive and rational approach of cognition, a rational dialog model as well as a cognitive architecture.
My scientific journey:
- From Conversational AI to Pragmatics / Dialog modeling
- Pragmatics / Dialog modeling: From an activity / reasoning / process-based approach to the 1rst definition in term of kind of information/data using modern epistemology & cognitive sciences
- From modern epistemology to (Conversational) Agent theory and architecture
-
And Back Again
The key notions I am developing: Acceptance a belief-like doxastic state - caracterisation and representation of tools & much more!
