RESUME:


I am a SCIENTIST whose research is devoted to Artificial Intelligence and its subarea of Natural Language Processing, with a special focus on the technological preparation of the Portuguese language for the digital age, aiming thus at contributing to enhance the citizenship of its speakers in the information society.

I am the DIRECTOR GENERAL of PORTULAN CLARIN Research Infrastructure for the Science and Technology of Language. This multi-disciplinary infrastructure relies on an open network of more than 20 organizations and research centers from the areas of Artificial Intelligence, Digital Humanities, Engineering, Linguistics and Psychology among others, from Portugal and Brazil. It belongs to the Portuguese National Network of Research Infrastructures of Strategic Interest and it is the national node of the European Infrastructure CLARIN ERIC, with over 20 member countries.

I am the SCIENTIFIC DIRECTOR of a R&D Structure of the Faculty of Sciences of the University of Lisbon, the NLX Natural Language and Speech Group, of which I was the founder over 20 years ago. This group is devoted to research on Artificial Intelligence, in the sub-area of Natural Language Processing, with special focus on the Portuguese language, and counted so far on the contributions of over 70 collaborators from 13 countries.

I was the RESPONSIBLE INVESTIGATOR of activities in projects with an accumulated funding of over 15 Million euros since 2001, among which there are 13 projects of which I was the PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR, including 2 European projects in multi-partner consortia, 2 projects of international exchange, and 9 national ones. This funding was obtained as a result of applications to open competitive calls, with evaluation by independent experts, and represents over half Million euros per year on average.

I am the AUTHOR of over 140 peer-reviewed publications, many of them in co-authorship, with over 70 international colleagues. Impact determined through h-index in Goggle Scholar is here.

I am the DEVELOPER, in co-authorship, of over 30 high reliability, labeled data sets, built by double annotation followed by adjudication, when appropriate. These data sets include the largest treebanks for training and evaluating syntactic and semantic analysis tools for Portuguese, among several other indispensable and pioneer scientific resources for the computational processing of the Portuguese language.

I was an EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR (2014-16) of the Mind-Brain College of the University of Lisbon, of which I was a founding member with colleagues from other schools and departments in 2014, in a pioneer initiative at this university.

I am the COORDINATOR (2020-2024) of the Doctoral and Master programs in Cognitive Science of the University of Lisbon (inter-school programs: Letters, Medicine, Psychology and Sciences), and member of the respective Scientific Committee since 2008. With colleagues from other schools and departments, I was one of the founders of this pioneer initiative in the national academic landscape, which for 30 vacancies per year, usually attracts more than 80 national and international applications.

I was a TEACHER of over 6 000 students so far, in 23 different curricular units in 26 years, which represents the preparation of almost one different unit each year on average. Throughout the years, my students have scored my teaching at 17.4 (0-20) on average. In the last few years, I was the RESPONSIBLE teacher for nuclear BA units for the education of under-graduates in Computer Science, namely Programming 1 and 2. With 16 editions since I was awarded my PhD degree, the post-graduation unit on Natural Language, in turn, is the unit that I was responsible of the largest number of times. I was or I am (co-)SUPERVISOR of 10 doctoral students.

I was a COUNSELOR (2017-21) at the School Council of the Faculty of Sciences of the University of Lisbon, which is the top supervision body responsible for the election of the respective Director, and for which I was elected by the Faculty staff for a 4 year mandate. I was VICE-PRESIDENT (2009-12) of the Department of Informatics, being responsible for the local implementation in my department of the management by objectives methodology, adopted by the entire school, among other achievements.

I was the PRESIDENT (2018-20, 2020-22), elected by its Board, of ELRA Language Resources Association, one of the world reference scientific association for language science and technology, with headquarters in Paris. Currently I am Honorary President. This follows, I believe, from my defense of the ample scientific research about human language in all its empirical manifestations, under the form of around 7 000 different languages known –-- and not focused in a reductive manner only on the national language of the economical and scientific superpower, with 1/4 of world yearly GDP. Assessed with Google Scholar h5-index, its flagship event, the International Conference on Language Resources and Evaluation, is in line with the most impactful journal of its area and in the top 4 most impactful world conferences [March 2020].

I am a CONSULTANT committed to the technological preparation of the Portuguese language for the digital age, being the first co-author of the "White Paper on Portuguese Language in the Digital Age" (2012), which was presented at a hearing in the National Parliament, as well as in debates and plenary sessions of CPLP and Instituto Camões bodies, among several other initiatives with decision makers and organizations for the language and science policy. Among the initiatives with companies, I highlight an ongoing reference R&D project of the national PRR, pandemic-recovery program in which my research group participates with companies to ensure innovative customer service solutions via conversational agents.

I am an ACADEMIC who is active in all dimensions of my profession and I have received the highest score, of Excellent, in the successive regular career assessments throughout the last 18 years, since these assessments started at the Faculty of Sciences in 2004, where I am an Associate Professor with Habilitation. This classification addresses the results of my work and my vocation, reflected in my Habilitation and my PhD in Computer Science.

The central goal of the QueXting project is to contribute for an improved acess to information by users of the Portuguese web by means of making freely acessible a state of the art, online Question Answering (QA) service allowing to obtain answers to questions worded in plain Portuguese on the basis of the information contained in the Portuguese Web.
Instrumental to this goal is the rapid ramp-up of the underlying QA engine by:
- Adopting language-independent system architecture and taking advantage of the search engines for document retrieval available online;
- Exploiting the NLP tools for Portuguese that our group have developed and use them as the components required to be geared to the Portuguese language.
Conncomintantly, the project aims at fostering R&D on QA by developing reusable Portuguese-specific Question/Answer taxonomy, Question/Answer dictionary, and ontologies, and by using the resulting QA engine as a platform for training, teaching and further advanced R&D on QA.

GramaXing - Computational Grammar for Deep Linguistic Processing of Portuguese

Principal investigator
National: PLUS/PLP/50301/2003
The central goal of GramaXing is to contribute to the enhanced multilinguality of the semantic web and information society by developing a general purpose computational core grammar of Portuguese, the fifth language in the world in terms of native speakers. This grammar will perform automatic semantic analysis according to state of the art technology that supports the development of high-level natural language applications and semantic web tools. Another major goal of this project is to join Delphin, the world leading research initiative on advanced grammar engineering, and add Portuguese to the set of languages being addressed by this initiative.
Other participants: University of Minho; and University of Saarland.

PALPORT - Fine-grained Psycholinguistic Assessment of Aphasia and Other Language Impairments

Head of the University of Lisbon team
National: FCT/RIPD/PSI/63557/2005
The most common cause of Aphasic syndromes is the Cerebral Vascular Accident (CVA). CVAs are the main cause of death in the Portuguese population. It is estimated that 8% of our population over 50 years of age already suffered a CVA. Of these survivors, 80% to 90% were left with severe disabilities, namely language disorders. We propose to develop a computerized battery of psycholinguistic tests, capable of yielding a detailed psycholinguist characterization of language disorders, at the phonemic, morphological, lexical, sentential, prosodic and discourse levels, probing the written and the auditory code in both comprehension and production tasks.
Other participants: University of Coimbra, Faculdade de Psicologia and de Ciências da Educação (coord.), and Hospitais da Universidade de Coimbra.

TagShare - Tagging and Shallow Processing Tools and Resources

Principal investigator
National: FCT/POSI/PLP/47058/2002
Development of a set of linguistic resources and software component tools to support the computational processing of Portuguese. These resources and tools are geared to shallow morpho-syntactic processing: They are aimed at automatically associating lexemes with basic linguistic information that can be uncovered by means of computationally efficient procedures that look into the word structure and/or into a very limited amount of context (e.g. POS tagging, inflectional analysis, multi-word lexeme recognition, named entity recognition, etc.).
