Research Director in Informatics and Computer Science at Inria and Leader of the joint Wimmics team at the Sophia-Antipolis Research Center (Université Côte d'Azur, Inria, CNRS, I3S).
His PhD in 2002 pioneered the joint use of distributed artificial intelligence (AI) and semantic Web to manage a variety of data sources and users above a Web architecture.
Then, as a research project leader at Carnegie Mellon University (USA), he proposed an AI method to enforce privacy preferences in querying and reasoning about personal data.
In 2004, recruited as a researcher at Inria, he started to study models and algorithms to integrate social media and knowledge based AI systems on the Web and support humans in the loop.
His professional interests include: Web, Semantic Web, Social Web, Ontologies, Knowledge Engineering and Modelling, Mobility, Privacy, Context-Awareness, Semantic Social Network / Semantic Analysis of Social Network, Intraweb, Distributed Artificial Intelligence.
In 2012, he became the representative of Inria at the World-Wide Web Consortium (W3C) where he had already participated in several standardization groups since 2004.
The same year he founded Wimmics, a joint research team of 50 persons (UCA, Inria, CNRS, I3S) including 10 full time researchers and professors on bridging social and formal semantics on the Web with AI methods.
In 2014, Fabien became a research director (DR). Fabien successfully supervised several PhD, chaired major international conferences (e.g. WWW 2012 and 2018, ESWC 2015, ISWC 2019) and authored many journal, conference and workshop papers, and several books and book chapters.
In 2015, Fabien initiated a series of bilingual MOOCs on the national FUN platform on semantic Web and linked data. He also became professor at the Data Science Tech Institute (DSTI).
In 2017, Fabien established and became the director of the joint research laboratory QWANT-Inria and he also became responsible for the research convention he had proposed between the Ministry of Culture and Inria.
In september 2018, Fabien became Vice-head of research for Inria Université Côte d'Azur until september 2022.
In 2019, Fabien was awarded a chair in AI by the institute 3IA Côte d'Azur.

HyperAgents is an ANR/SNF project working towards the deployment of world-wide hybrid communities of people and artificial agents on the Web. For this purpose, we are defining a new class of multi-agent systems (MAS) that are: (i) aligned with the Web architecture to inherit the properties of the Web as a world-wide, open, and long-lived system, and (ii) transparent and accountable to support acceptance by people. Our systems use semantic hypermedia to enable uniform interaction among heterogeneous entities in MAS: people, artificial agents, devices, digital serivces, knowledge repositories, etc. We refer to this new class of Web-based MAS as Hypermedia MAS.
- CovidOnTheWeb is a project to develop the new version of the Qwant search engine project aims to allow biomedical researchersto access, query and make sense of COVID-19 related literature. To do so,it adapts, combines and extends tools to process, analyze and enrich the“COVID-19 Open Research Dataset” (CORD-19) that gathers 50,000+full-text scientific articles related to the coronaviruses.
-
PROTEMICS, SHACL-S and CoP4Pro :
As the amount of data published on the Web grows, the need for data schemata to structure and document them also grows. There exist ontology patterns, constraints and best practices to guide the design of these schemata but they are not systematically applied and checked on schemata published on the Web. We propose to explore the extension of the SHACL data validation language to support the validation of schemata.
-
DeKaloG follows the vision of a global decentralized knowledge graph that can be leveraged to answer questions at the scale of the web. For example, “give me information about people who know Tim Berners-Lee” or “What is the number of famous scientists men and women per birth year ?”. To face the LOD issues, DeKaloG promotes ATF (Accessibility, Transparency, and Findability) principles and a sustainable approach for implementing them.
-

- ANSWER is a project to develop the new version of the Qwant search engine by introducing radical innovations in terms of search criteria as well as indexed content and users’ privacy. The purpose is to strengthen everyone’s confidence in the search engine and increase the effectiveness of web search. Building trust in the search engine is based on innovations in (1) Security: computer security, privacy; (2) Completeness: completeness and heterogeneity of (re)sources; and (3) Neutrality: analysis, extraction, indexing, and classification of data.
- MonaLIA project with French Ministry of Culture. It consists of a preliminary study on image recognition of the Joconde database in connection with semantic data (JocondeLab). The goal of this project is to exploit the cross-fertilization of recent advances in machine learning for image recognition and KRR on semantic indexing and annotated image databases in order to improve the accuracy and the details of the annotation.
- WASABI stands for Web Audio Semantic Aggregated in the Browser for Indexation. The WASABI ANR project, started in January 2017, aims at: (1) the construction of a 2 million song knowledge base that combines metadata collected from music databases on the Web, metadata resulting from the analysis of song lyrics, and metadata resulting from the audio analysis (2) the development of semantic applications with high added value to exploit this semantic database. (3) the development of interactive WebAudio applications linked to the Wasabi database. WebAudio is a new W3C standard API that brings computer music to the Web Browser.
- SEEMPAD (Social Exchanges and Emotions in Mediated Polemics – Analysis and Data) is as international research Lab ( Wimmics, INRIA - Heron, University of Montreal) generating, annotating and analyzing a dataset that documents a debate.

- ALOOF (Autonomous Learning of the Meaning of Objects) is a European project (CHIST-ERA 2015-2018) to enable robots to use the ever-growing amount of knowledge available on the Web, by learning from there about the meaning of previously unseen objects, expressed in a form that makes them applicable when acting in situated environments.
- SMILK (Social Media Intelligence and Linked Knowledge) is a joint laboratory (Labcom, 2013-2016) between the Wimmics team and the Research and Innovation unit of VISEO (Grenoble). The purpose of SMILK is both to develop research and technologies in order to retrieve, analyze, and reason on textual data coming from Web sources, and to make use of LOD, social networks structures and interaction in order to improve the analysis and understanding of textual resources.
- DiscoveryHub is an exploratory search engine resulting from a CIFRE convention with Alcatel-Bell-Lucent. Web growth, both in size and diversity, and users’ growing expectations increase the need for innovative search approaches and technologies. Exploratory search systems are built specifically to help user in cognitive consuming search tasks like learning or investigation. Some of these systems are built on the top of linked data and use its semantic richness to provide cognitively-optimized search experiences. This work addresses the question of real-time linked data processing for exploratory search purposes.
- OCKTOPUS is an ANR project (2012-2015 ; ANR-12-CORD-0026). The objective of OCKTOPUS is to increase the potential social and economic benefit of the large and quickly growing amounts of user-generated content, by transforming it into useful knowledge. Specifically, we will focus on a multi-disciplinary approach in order to address the problem of finding relevant answers to questions within forums and question-answer sites. Wimmics focuses on analyzing the structural and temporal aspects of the complex typed social graphs found within these communities.
- DBpedia.fr is the French chapter of DBpedia used in many applications, in particular for the publication of cultural collections. Because DBpedia is focused on the English version of Wikipedia it ignores some of the French topics and their data. This projects aims at extracting a maximum of RDF data from the French version and providing a stable and scalable end-point. It is done in the context of Semanticpedia convention with the French Ministry of Culture.
- QAKIS is an on-going internal project that implements question answering over DBpedia. QAKiS allows end users to submit a query to an RDF triple store in English and obtain the answer in the same language, hiding the complexity of the non-intuitive formal query languages involved in the resolution process.
- Datalift is an ANR project (2010-2013 ; ANR-10-CORD-009). Its goal is to design a platform to publish and interlink datasets on the Web of data. Datalift will both publish datasets coming from a network of partners and data providers and propose a set of tools for easing the datasets publication process. DataLift brings raw structured data coming from various formats (relational databases, CSV, XML, ...) to semantic data interlinked on the Web of Data.
- S4AC and SHI3LD are a results of Datalift and provide a Context-Aware Authorization based on SPARQL for Graph Stores.
- SeGViz SemanticWebImport Gephi Plugin was an Inria ADT project that provided a Semantic Web Import Plugin for Gephi visualization of linked data graph. It allows the import of semantic data into the Gephi open graph vizualisation platform for an interactive visualization and exploration platform of all kinds of networks. The imported data are obtained by processing a SPARQL request on the semantic data and public end-points.
- PRISSMA (Presentation of Resources for Interoperable Semantic and Shareable Mobile Adaptability) is a result of Datalift and provides a domain-independent vocabulary for displaying Web of Data resources in mobile environments. It consists in a lightweight ontology for describing context conditions in a declarative style.
- Kolflow is an ANR project (2011-2014 ; ANR-10-CORD-0021), it proposes to extend collective intelligence with smart agents relying on automated reasoning. Smart agents can significantly reduce the overhead of communities in the process of continuously building knowledge. Consequently, continuous knowledge building is much more efficient. Kolflow aims at building a social semantic space where humans collaborate with smart agents in order to produce knowledge understandable by humans and machines.
- RATIO4TIA (interlinked explanations for triple assertions) is a result of Kolflow and provides an OWL ontology for describing explanation metadata. It allows describing metadata about data, reasoning processes, results, data derivations, rules, and software applications.

Jan. 03 - Dec. 03: Post-doc position in the Mobile Commerce Lab (ISRI) within the School of Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University. I was working on the myCampus project providing context-aware mobile accesses to web services aimed at enhancing everyday life on the campus of a university. It relies on Semantic Web standards for data communication and storage, multi-agent systems and web services for the implementation of services, and personal digital assistants with wireless network connections for access and localisation. See also myCampus final report of 2003.
Thursday 7th November 2002: Ph.D. Defense. I was a Ph.D. student in the Acacia Research team of Inria in the Research Center of Sophia-Antipolis (French National Institute for Research in Computer Science and Control). My subject was "Distributed Artificial Intelligence and Knowledge Management: ontologies and multi-agents systems for a corporate semantic web.". This work concerned multi-agents systems for the management of a corporate semantic web based on an ontology. It was carried out in the context of the European project CoMMA focusing on two application scenarios: support technology monitoring activities and assist the integration of a new employee to the organisation. Three aspects were essentially developed in this work:
- the design of a multi-agents architecture supporting both scenarios, and the organisational top-down approach followed to identify the societies, the roles and the interactions of agents.
- the construction of the ontology O'CoMMA and the structuring of a corporate memory exploiting semantic Web technologies.
- the design and implementation of the sub-societies of agents dedicated to the management of the annotations and the ontology and of the protocols underlying these groups of agents, in particular techniques for distributing annotations and queries between the agents.
