PhD Candidate in Computer Science

Bochra Kader

I am a PhD candidate at Université Paris Dauphine–PSL within LAMSADE, supervised by Maude Manouvrier and Khalid Belhajjame. My thesis, On Managing Dynamic Knowledge Graphs, explores how dynamic knowledge graphs and ontologies can evolve reliably under change while improving data quality and reducing inconsistency.

About

Research profile

My research focuses on the maintenance and evolution of dynamic knowledge graphs and ontologies. I combine Semantic Web technologies with human-guided reinforcement learning to support reliable updates, reduce inconsistency, and improve data quality under change.

I am especially interested in evolving facts, schemas, and constraints; requirement-driven updates; and interactive decision support for graph maintenance. Part of my doctoral work also studies how to populate newly introduced ontology elements with minimal manual effort.
