Présentation

I am currently a researcher in the Protein, Structure, Function team at INRAE STLO (Science and Technology of Milk and Eggs). My research focuses on the application of machine learning techniques for modelling complex systems and multi-criteria decision making. I am interested in the interactions between expert knowledge and modelling approaches. After a degree in agricultural engineering from AgroParisTech, I prepared my PhD on the combination of probabilistic relational models and knowledge bases, with the aim of highlighting the importance of integrating expert knowledge in automatic methods for a better explainability of the learned models. Since 2022, I am also co-moderator of the INRAE MathNum scientific network [IN-OVIVE] (https://www6.inrae.fr/reseau-in-ovive/). Some of my work is presented in my [Git-Lab](https://gitlab.com/melanie.munch). ### Competences Artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms with an emphasis on model explainability Expert knowledge integration Causality and causal discovery Complex system modeling ### Positions **Jan 2023** Research Engineer.
