Henri Prade (born August 20, 1953^[1]) is a french computer scientist. Most of his research, jointly with Didier Dubois, is on fuzzy logic, artificial intelligence (knowledge representation and reasoning).

Early life and education

He graduated from Ecole Nationale Supérieure de l’Aéronautique et de l’Espace (ISAE-Supaéro) as a civil engineer in 1975. He obtained his Doctorat d’Etat in 1982 from Paul Sabatier University (now University of Toulouse)^[2].

Career

Henri Prade has been a researcher at the French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS) in computer and information processing sciences since 1979. He has been Emeritus since 2019.

He has more particularly developed (with Didier Dubois) possibility theory (a theoretical setting for the modelling of epistemic uncertainty) and possibilistic logic^[3]. Since 2008, he has been also developing an approach to analogical reasoning, based on a logical modelling of analogical proportions, which are statements of the form « a is to b as c is to d », in collaboration with Laurent Miclet, Gilles Richard, and Myriam Bounhas^[4].

Awards and honours

He has been an inaugural fellow of the European Association for Artificial Intelligence (EurAI) (previously ECCAI)^[5], and an inaugural fellow of the International Fuzzy Systems Association (IFSA)^[6].

Selected publications

He wrote two research monographs, with Didier Dubois: Fuzzy Sets and Systems: Theory and Applications (Academic Press, New York, 1980)^[7], and Possibility Theory: An Approach to Computerized Processing of Uncertainty (with the collaboration of H. Farreny, R. Martin-Clouaire, C. Testemale), Plenum Press, New York, 1988^[8].

He has also (co-)coordinated the edition of several books providing surveys of research areas where he has been involved, including:

Handbooks of Fuzzy Systems Series (7 vol.) (Didier Dubois, Henri Prade, eds.) Kluwer Acad. Publ, 1998-2000^[9].
Decision-Making Process: Concepts and Methods. (Denis Bouyssou, Didier Dubois, Marc Pirlot, Henri Prade, eds.), Wiley-ISTE, 2009^[10].
Computational Approaches to Analogical Reasoning: Current Trends. (Henri Prade, Gilles Richard, eds.), Springer, 2014^[4].
A Guided Tour of Artificial Intelligence Research. Vol. 1: Knowledge Representation, Reasoning and Learning ; Vol. 2 : Algorithms ; Vol. 3 : Interfaces and Applications of AI. (Pierre Marquis, Odile Papini, Henri Prade, eds.), Springer, 2020^[11]^[12]^[13].
Artificial Intelligence - What is it, exactly? - 2nd edition. (Sébastien Konieczny, Henri Prade, eds.), College Publications, 2025^[14].

He was co-program chair (with Didier Dubois) of the 1st IEEE International Conference on Fuzzy Systems in San Diego, Ca^[15]. In 1992. He was the program chair of the 13th European Conference on Artificial Intelligence (ECAI) in Brighton in 1998.
