Education and career

Cordier is originally from Paris, where she was born in 1950. [1] She studied computer science at Paris-Sud University, earning a doctorat de troisième cycle in 1979 under the direction of Jacques Pitrat and a doctorat d'état in 1986 under the direction of Daniel Kayser. [2] [3] She completed a habilitation at Paris-Sud University in 1996. [1]

After working as an associate professor at Paris-Sud University, she moved to the University of Rennes as a full professor in 1988. [1] Her doctoral students at Rennes have included Sylvie Thiébaux and Marie-Christine Rousset. [2] [3]

Recognition

Cordier was named as a fellow of the European Association for Artificial Intelligence (formerly ECCAI) in 2001. [1] [4] She was the 2015 recipient of the lifetime achievement award of the International Workshop on Principles of Diagnosis (DX). [5]

As a subfield in artificial intelligence, diagnosis is concerned with the development of algorithms and techniques that are able to determine whether the behaviour of a system is correct. If the system is not functioning correctly, the algorithm should be able to determine, as accurately as possible, which part of the system is failing, and which kind of fault it is facing. The computation is based on observations, which provide information on the current behaviour.

Robin Roberson Murphy is an American computer scientist and roboticist. She is the Raytheon Professor of Computer Science and Engineering at Texas A&M University. She is known as a founder of the fields of rescue robotics and human-robot interaction and for inserting robots into disasters. Her case studies of how unmanned systems under perform in the field led cognitive systems engineering researcher David Woods to pose the (Robin) Murphy's Law of Autonomy: a deployment of robotic systems will fall short of the target level of autonomy, creating or exacerbating a shortfall in mechanisms for coordination with human problem holders. Her TED talk “These Robots Come to the Rescue After a Disaster” was listed in TED Talks: The Official TED Guide to Public Speaking as one of the examples of a good TED talk. Murphy is also known for using science fiction as an innovative method of teaching artificial intelligence and robotics.
