Francisco Salto (Doctor in Philosophy by the Universidad de Salamanca) is a Full Professor at the Universidad de León in the field of Logic and Philosophy of Science. He is a founding member and co-director –together with Dr Díaz-Nafría– of the BITrum-Research Group for the Interdisciplinary Study of Information (with headquarters in León but constituted by an international network of researchers). Within this framework, Dr. Salto has backed up the fields of logic, foundations of mathematics, information philosophy and epistemology in tight collaboration with cognitive and computing scientists. In these areas, he has made significant contributions to logical validity, verifiability, semantic processing, paraconsistence and identity. A current line of research (supported for instance by the APP-TIVATE project) is the study of paraconsistent deduction in cognition and its application to machine learning since the problem of paraconsistency represents the strive to join interdisciplinary knowledge into a transdisciplinary setting.
