Laure Vieu (1964) studied computer science in Toulouse. In 1991 she
obtained a Ph.D. in computer science at the Université Paul Sabatier
in Toulouse on the Semantics of Spatial Expressions and the
Representation of Space. She has been an INRA researcher from 1991 to
1993 and since 1993 she is a CNRS (French National Research Council)
research fellow, at IRIT, Toulouse, France. Since
January 2003, she is on a long-term visit at LOA-ISTC-CNR.
Research interests
Laure's past research has been structured around two main topics and
their interplay: on the one hand, formal semantics, lexical semantics
and discourse semantics; on the other hand, axiomatic theories and
ontologies for the representation of space, time and material
entities from a cognitive point of view. She is currently working on
the semantics-pragmatics interface in dialogue theories and on the
ontology of interaction.
