Michèle Sebag

Martine-Michèle Sebag is a French computer scientist, primarily focused on machine learning. She has over 6,000 citations.[1]

Sebag studied mathematics at the Ecole Normale Supérieure, and later worked in the computer science industry, starting at Thomson Corporation,[2] where she was introduced to artificial intelligence. She then moved into the research field, at the Laboratoire de Mécanique des Solides at Ecole Polytechnique.

She was awarded a PhD from the University of Paris-Sud, Paris Dauphine University and Ecole Polytechnique. Sebag started work at the Centre national de la recherche scientifique (CNRS) as a research fellow in 1991.

Sebag is deputy director of the Laboratoire de Recherche en Informatique at the CNRS; Head of group A-O at the latter; co-head of Projet TAO at INRIA Saclay; and principal scientist at the CNRS.[3]

She was named chevalier of the Légion d'honneur in 2019.[4]
